Too much of everything

Redundant and unnecessary.

Must See Movie...

I wanted to but couldn't!

Jodorowsky's Dune (2013)**** (out of 4) Have you seen Alejandro Jodorowsky's DUNE? Of course you haven't because sadly it was never made but this documentary gives you a great idea of what it would have been like. Director Jodorowsky is interviewed as he discusses his early films and why he then wanted to make Dune even though he hadn't actually read the book. From here we learn about the pre-production, which included getting Pink Floyd on-board for the soundtrack and David Carradine for the main role.JODOROWSKY'S DUNE is a terrific little documentary that gives one a great idea of what the movie would have been like if it was made. The film goes into great detail about what the look of the film would have been like as well as giving you a great idea of why it might not have been possible even if they had turned the movie cameras on. As one person says, this was two years from STAR WARS yet Jodorowsky was wanting to do stuff that wouldn't even have been possible twenty years from then. If you're a fan of the director or just filmmaking in general then this is a must see.

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.

Having loved the movies for a long time now, is incredible to see this film with only 8 as rating. Jodorowski's Dune proposes the inside look of a genius at it's own way. Jodorowski's movies are not for everybody, you need to see it with some kind of effort and taste for the artistic wave. However Jodorowski's Dune shows not only the work of this man, but the man himself, showing us a beautiful human being with an inspiring message: Don't you ever give up! Even if all the doors remain closed, Don't give up. Is one of the most amazing things I have seen in my life. So You have Jodorowsky's work, Jodorowsky himself, Hodorowsky's Legacy in sci-fi what else do you need to give it a try?

I wanted to like this movie having read most of the Frank Herbert books and not being aware of this movie that was never made. Okay so it has connections to modern sci-fi movies having had people that were working on it then go and work on other films but man - this movie is all dialogue: people talking at the camera about what could have been, what should have been and really there's only so much of that I can take before falling asleep. The movie they're talking about is probably one of the greatest movies NEVER made - but this is one of the slowest, boring movies ever made. I apologise to everyone who really loved this - I see where you're coming from but balancing that out this is one slow moving, yawn-fest if you don't know what you're in for. The guy's a genius. This movie isn't.
