Grotesque visual effects, too many characters, and a labyrinthine yet utterly incomprehensible story makes Dune one of the most unbearable big budget movies put to film. I doubt even fans of Frank Herbert know what the heck is going on with the plot. David Lynch's fetish for ugly visuals, drab set design, and a dark dank vision of a feudalistic future may set it apart from other space operas like Star Wars or Star Trek. But it's thoroughly unpleasant to watch and the furthest thing from entertaining. Even Caligula was at the least interesting and memorable to sit through as a movie viewing experience. This couldn't even top a Penthouse porn epic! I can't think of anything sadder!
