Awesome cinematic experience! Significantly better than the confusing mess from the 80´s.
The classic sci-fi novel explodes onto the screen with unforgettable images and powerful performances from the very best actors working today. There's spectacle to spare here thanks to visionary director Lynch and his talented production designers and special effects wizards, with truly exquisite cinematography by the legendary Freddie Francis and a memorable score from the rock band Toto. An absolute must-see on the big screen!
Much, much better than the awful psychedelic adaptation from the 80´s. Here you can follow the plot even if you didn´t know the books. The visual side is awesome too.
A pale imitation of a far superior original.
Great to be able to have movies with this type of content...
Captures the key moments very well. Only one minus: Liet Kynes.
Beautifully done!
Marvel stans are review bombing this great movie, it seems. Just because it doesn´t have childish jokes inserted in the most inappropriate moments doesn´t mean it´s a bad movie. This is real cinema, not some stupid CGI mess with CGI costumes like MCU.
The original was so much better, but this wasn't terrible.
I echo the sentiment of some other reviewers - I also find the overall brightness of the images on the low side. Especially indoor scenes, where I felt I was straining my eyes to see what was happening. Otherwise, the film was well acted and directly. Special effect and outlandish gadgets are good. I like the film well enough that I will buy a Blu-ray DVD set down the road so I can watch it again - with increased brightness on my home screen.
