Based on the novel by the same name, I will not be divulging too many details about the story of Dune, considering that it may act as a spoiler and secondly the plot being too convoluted.

The screenplay compliments it very well. This is a bit of a niche as the leisurely pace ensures that almost nothing happens in the initial few minutes… Read More…
