Frank Herbert’s novel Dune was published in 1965, and ever since, entire generations of people all over the world have read the book even if they were not ardent sci-fi fans. Some of them may have even seen the deeply flawed 1984 film adaptation directed by David Lynch that starred such disparate artists as Kyle MacLachlan, Sting, Jürgen Prochnow, and Silvana Mangano. Special Effects were in their infancy at the time compared with the 2021 possibilities, and Baron Harkonnen floating on barely disguised wires is not what audiences expect these days.
Hello Catherin,
Thank you for the review. I read this books many years ago. I will have to watch it. I noticing that the themes I remember and you mention are very similar to what is on the website “Allies of Humanity”. If that site is a hoax, they must have gotten many of their ideas from that book.
I enjoyed the review more than the 1984 movie, I could never get through it.
After pondering why we should watch this, it makes me wonder why hasn’t anyone made sci-fi movies out of what is written in the Sumerian tablets or the Vedas?
It would knock your socks off and its more titillating in that, we would be wondering for months, is this movie about how civilization on planet Earth really began? The pharaohs of ancient Egypt seemed to think so and so did the Dragon Kings of Transylvania who believed themselves to be the descendants of the Pharaohs.
And where is planet X right about now? Is it any closer to us?
Recommend Jadoworsky’s Dune. It was documentary of the year on the Solari Report in 2014.
