I have to login and comment to express my disappointment with the bad reviews this movie has always gotten.

Rotten Tomatoes gives it a 56%, which is really sad. Here are two of the negative reviews.

Corliss:

   Most sci-fi movies offer escape, a holiday from homework, but Dune is as difficult as a final exam. You have to cram for it.

Ebert:

   This movie is a real mess, an incomprehensible, ugly, unstructured, pointless excursion into the murkier realms of one of the most confusing screenplays of all time.

This movie is Lynch interpretation of a very complex book and he did so while still being faithful to its uniqueness. He gave us visual aesthetics that are very different from our standard views of space travel (ie: arabesque spaceships and gothic outfits) and didn't skip over the less popular concepts of mind evolution present in the book

What can I say? This movie deserves more recognition than a 56% score.
