Why? Because I'm the gullible chappy around here. Despite never having seen the film or read the books, I was the obvious choice to review Dune 2. Unlike the first one, which was an adventure, Dune 2 is very much a strategy game. But now, a decade on, Virgin have seen fit to produce a second computer game based around the Dune universe. Of course, whether or not this was a fair assumption I can't honestly tell. Nearly two-and- a-half hours, in fact, and perhaps the reason for its strangeness was that it was directed by a certain David Lynch. For me, Tatooine was the ultimate desolate desert planet, and Dune was merely an inferior imitation.Īpparently, the film was very strange and very long.
Being a cheeky young nipper-type person at the time I didn't care for strange sci-fi films with seemingly incomprehensible plots when I could marvel at the stunning special- effects masterpieces pouring out of Lucasfilm Productions on a regular basis.
Perhaps that was because when it came out back in 1984, it was in the middle of Star Wars fever.
