Planet Dune

source: Planet Dune

This is a knock-off attempt to cash in on Dune (2021) and maybe get some accidental purchases from people trying to buy the other movie. Its a basic B-movie and comes with the usual shoddy acting and special effects of varying quality the vfx in space actually look quite good but the worms less so at times. Though it still does a better job of showing the deserts than the Scifi mini series Frank Herbert's Dune. It also features Sean Young who played Chani in Dune 1984. She is almost unrecognisable now but does a reasonable job in her role, though not as the lead as the poster sort of suggests. The basic plot is that a group of people get stuck on Planet Dune attempting to rescue a downed freighter and end up having to battle sandworms before attempting their escape.

C'mon. It's not awfull. It's old school craftsmanship. Yes,... the main actor is... learning,... she needs half the movie untill i believe her,... but all the other actors do a decent job from the start. And it's a female thing,... meaning that all main characters are woman,... so what? Get used to it. The male storylines are like Uhura's on Star Trek. But the action is thrilling. If it were a Kurt Russell flick, ya all would be cheering. Old school late 20th century adventure,... but the worm and it's offspring looks real enough, well done. So do the asteroids. Ow,... and it's hot on that planet. The moonshine tasted like +60% methanol. I had fun watching. Grab some popcorn and stop whining. You'll enjoy it. "They are all waiting for us to get off that planet."

So Sunday night. Nothing much to do nor nothing good to watch. I got caught with this "Dune" mockbuster. I said "ok." But being Asylum I didn't have any expectation at all. But... FX are pretty decent Acting is not awful Not full stupid dialogues and some backstory for the characters and some development for them And some pretty decent action Asylum, are you alright? Is not the usual trash Although is not prefect this time I can say is an evolution The bad: some stupid lines and some stupid bad decisions on characters. Not a lot, thankfully The good: pretty decent FX and npt awful acting The best: Sean Young A pretty solid 6,5/10 so I'll put 7/10 because it can be rated like it on imdb and I give an extra point for Sean Not that bad and kind of enjoyable.

I stole my copy from my Walmart...Dang I thought it was Dune....was I wrong..But it did have Sean Young in it. But oh well it wasn't the worse movie ever. I can't add much more. But hope they make sequel or tv show about it.

I torrent try anything and this took life away from me. The actors and actresses in this movie got cheated. With the movie title it's a cheap con to get anyone confused with The REAL Dune staring Timothee Chalamet which is waaaaaaaay better and the effects are worht it. This one is just horrible!

Took me 10 mins to realise this wasn't Soft Porn, then walked out of my own lounge. Acting was so bad it hurt my soul and realised literally anyone can make a movie in 2021, as long as you have a smartphone and an Instagram following. Do not recommend, in case that wasn't obvious.

Decent acting, decent actors, decent story and decent CGI it will easily pass a rainy afternoon. Quite an enjoyable movie and worth the effort to watch it.

You know what you're in for in the first three minutes: derivative plot, inane dialog, don't-quit-your-day-job actors trying their hardest but given nothing to work with, and "special" special effects. That said, this was better than most Asylum movies. The lead actress portraying Astrid (not the top billed corpulent weirdo Sean Young) was passable. She looked familiar, perhaps from another Asylum effort? At any rate, she was a bit better than the others. The rest of the cast did an adequate job - with a few notable exceptions. They kept the movie interesting enough that I made it to the end. This was an accomplishment, since the plot was copied from Dune with a humorless nod towards Tremors. Asylum movies have to be rated on a scale all their own. Given their trademark xeroxed plots, no name "actors", one marquee decades-past-their-prime-assuming-they-even-had-one former B-lister desperate for cash, incompetent direction, laughable special effects, continuity errors, Halloween costumes, two dollar budgets and so on, the best Asylum can hope for is 1 out of 10 when compared to professionally produced films. This was better than most excreted by Asylum, scoring 0.5, which is a 5 for an Asylum film. Five stars.

This is another Asylum mockbuster, The special effects were not bad. A freighter is stranded on planet Dune and the crew has worms. Astrid Young (Emily Killian) is a recently demoted pilot who thinks too much outside of the box leads a rescue mission unaware that the worms are nor dormant. I liked the story line, Astrid and the effects, yet somehow they managed to make it boring with dialogue and editing. Guide: No f-words, sex, or nudity.
