When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Blistering performances.

An epic behind-the-scenes tale of massive creativity gone off the rails with legends of film and music intertwined with one man's uncompromising vision of Dune. If you miss scifi's hey day of quiet introspection and larger-than-life concepts married with cutting edge visuals, this documentary will whet your appetite.

Jodorowsky's Dune covers the inception and eventual crumbling of one of the most ambitious film projects ever conceived. Alejandro Jodorowsky, the Chilean cult filmmaker whose films include surrealist works like El Topo and The Holy Mountain, wanted to make a miniseries- length adaptation of Frank Herbert's sci-fi novel that would elevate the consciousness of the entire human race, or something. Frankly, I'm kind of glad he never found the money. I'm not sure what film could live up to that level of ambition.For me, what's most interesting about this documentary is how much I disagree with its thesis. This film clearly wants us to see Jodorowsky's Dune as the greatest film never made. I'm not buying it. Jodorowsky admits that he had not read the novel when he started getting his team (he called them "spiritual warriors"; the whole thing seems rather cultlike) together, and when it becomes apparent that his film would deviate from the novel in many significant ways, he claims that he was "raping Frank Herbert...with love". I don't care if that's a metaphor; raping *anyone* with love is an oxymoron. I am a fan of the novel, which might be biasing my thinking here, but I doubt anyone but the most hardcore Jodorowsky devotees would ever want to sit through this film, had it been made. So maybe the greedy studios were right to withhold backing.None of this is to say that Jodorowsky's Dune is itself without merits. As a study in how making art is a series of compromises, and how one charismatic visionary can sweep others up in dreaming the impossible dream with him, it's enlightening. Jodorowsky is a jovial, engaging fellow, and when you consider that the team he assembled for this film included Dan O'Bannon, H.R. Giger, and Moebius, it's not difficult to accept that some of their ideas for this film later found their way into later sci-fi classics that did get made. If nothing else, you will marvel at the sheer absurdity of it all. The 70s were a good time to be a groundbreaking auteur. But not everyone gets to be Scorsese.

The Greatest Movie ever made about the Greatest Movie never made. That's all I have to say about this beautiful info-graphic Documentary, following the most ambitious project by then well known and critically acclaimed Director, following it's over priced production and then it's inevitable destruction by Hollywood who at that time never supported Movies with that big an ambition like Jodorowsky's Dune.Told in the form of Interviews by the people who were involved in the Film like any other Documentary but what makes Jodorowsky's Dune stand out is it's doomed story itself, every minor detail mentioned only makes want to see the Film more but then again it will be made like it was envisioned and shown in Jodorowsky's Dune. To the one's who are unaware about this Film will enjoy it the most for what is more Gracious and Glorious than seeing Dune come to life in the form of drawing and animation for the first time. What might astonish you the most about Dune are the people who involved in it, the likes of Orson Welles and Salvador Dali and many other greats were involved with this Film, great visionaries who would go on and make great contributions to Film inspired by their work on Jodorowsky's Dune. Try and imagine Orsen Welles playing a cruel narcissistic Film living in a Fortress which looks like him which is protected by spears arranged on the path which leads to it, set in the desert planet whose skies also run red and the winds carry sand.Alejandro Jodorowsky narrates the story of his passion project, he starts very Enthusiastically to tell the world what happened to his beloved Dune and gradually falls to despair when he has to tell who his Dune was never made, to a point of despair that he begs people to take his material and make his Dune. The Film's concepts and story is brought to the audience in the form of drawings and animation, the very drawings and animations from which "Alien" was created, almost all the visuals in Alien was inspired from the work done on Dune. Few of the drawings are brought to life in form of animation which look strikingly beautiful. Not being able to see this movie will be the greatest regret I will ever have.

I know very well Jodoroswsky, for being one of the best sci-fi creator around.Though, I know he did dreamed a bit too much about a new adaptation of it, he even tell he put ideads into 'meta barons' from dune... It's crazy. Universe is totally different.And for the rest, dune is a huge thing, far from this petty script.. I would say OK it's OK but now, great ideai to try your script in animation..If you don't know Mr jodor, ask one french studio like the north of ankama maybe ? :)
