Dune Movie Cast, Release Date, Trailer, Songs and Ratings
Dune — out now in cinemas and streaming on HBO Max — is a bold bet. It's not anything like Star Wars, another epic sci-fi franchise that has defined and inspired the genre. There are no lightsabers, dogfights, or space battles here. The first big scale action comes near the halfway point (though after that, it doesn't stop). Its characters don't trade quips, or ping-pong across planets on a galactic adventure. Dune is set largely on one planet that gives the film its name. And there's no humour on display here, it's all self-serious. Dune is more akin to Game of Thrones, but in space, and, minus the sex and the humour. It serves up a whole lot of palace intrigue, hints at a questionable quasi-Biblical journey, and seemingly evokes Lawrence of Arabia at times.
