Why do we have "planet Dune" after the fantastic movie "Dune". They are unrelated apart from the fact that the sandworms look similar and they have the word Dune in the title.

This is a waste of time. Bad acting and bad CGI. The plot and storyline is equally bad. The plot is very simple, predictable and just weird. A space crew on a mission to rescue colleagues on a marooned base on a desert planet turns deadly when the crew finds themselves hunted and attacked by the planet's apex predators: giant sandworms.

My recommendation: just watch "Dune" and even "Tremors" from 1990.

While it is true that most space movies are blind to true science. Watching this movie I could feel my brain cells melting every second that I watched.

Sean Young at her best, which isn't saying much. Her best role was probably the original Blade Runner. This movie, as I can't call this film or good cinema, should never have been made. It's a poor knock-off of the Dune films, but taken to the lowest level of quality entertainment for a science fiction movie. The story, if there really is one, is weak as are the performances by it's actors. I can't fault them as they were paid to act in this. The writers are to blame because it looked as though it took them a full lunch break to do the screenplay for this. The effects were weak, ineffective, and the story was so far from the Dune series, but trying to be like it, that it boggles the mind. This is Dune, but isn't! The Rubenesque Sean Young's acting should have been far better from all her years in Hollywood, but came across like a high school play during summer school break. Bringing the worm into the story further ruins this as it tries to emulate a good franchise with a no brand knock-off with a Hollywood actor to try to get viewers. Props to the other actors, they tried, but it was like watching a carpenter building a house with no hammer, nails, saw, or lumber! In a nutshell, you may have guessed that I didn't like this movie and you would be right. I read all the Herbert Dune books and this isn't part of it. Don't waste part of your life viewing this movie. Find a better one as there are many, new and older, that are in a class well above this trash.

Judging on the title I kinda knew what to expect.

And I was not disappointed ! ;) What actor has such low standards, or is so much job-hungry to actually sign in on this plot?

Save your self the effort and don't watch this low budget pulp.

I gave it an extra star for their effort though.

When I saw the cover/poster for this 2021 movie titled "Planet Dune", I immediately thought that it could be nothing else than a mockbuster from The Asylum. And yeah, of course I had to watch it on the odd chance that it would actually be an interesting enough movie.

And as it turned out then this was very much indeed a movie from The Asylum, of course it was. And yeah, it was of course a mockbuster. But it should be said, actually, that "Planet Dune" was one of the more interesting and watchable of movies from the sinkhole that is The Asylum. So "Planet Dune" was actually not on level with their usual rubbish.

Sure, this was blatantly a rip off of the Frank Herbert story and off of the 2021 movie "Dune". No doubt about it. In fact, writers Lauren Pritchard and Joe Roche weren't even bothering trying to disguise it as something else. This was just straight up a copy, for better or worse.

Now, the storyline in "Planet Dune" was pretty straight forward. Sure, it wasn't as grand as in the "Dune" movie, but it wasn't actually all that shabby when it comes to it. I was actually adequately entertained by what directors Glenn Campbell and Tammy Klein dished out in "Planet Dune".

Visually then "Planet Dune" wasn't all that bad. Sure, this was by no means top of the line CGI to rival Hollywood blockbusters, but it was fairly good for a movie by The Asylum. So it seems that the people at The Asylum are upping their game.

The acting performances in "Planet Dune" were fair. Nothing outstanding to be experienced here, though. But the actors and actresses did good enough jobs with their given roles. I wasn't familiar with a single performer on the cast list, however.

All in all, then "Planet Dune" is watchable, and actually among some of the more interesting and successful of movies from The Asylum.

My rating of "Planet Dune" lands on a five out of ten stars.

OMG But They say I have to say more, but, but, but.

Just awful. Time I will never get back, I fast forwarded many times to get through.

Why did they even make this movie? Terrible acting throughout.

Watch at your own peril.

You know what you're in for in the first three minutes: derivative plot, inane dialog, don't-quit-your-day-job actors trying their hardest but given nothing to work with, and "special" special effects. That said, this was better than most Asylum movies.

The lead actress portraying Astrid (not the top billed corpulent weirdo Sean Young) was passable. She looked familiar, perhaps from another Asylum effort? At any rate, she was a bit better than the others. The rest of the cast did an adequate job - with a few notable exceptions. They kept the movie interesting enough that I made it to the end. This was an accomplishment, since the plot was copied from Dune with a humorless nod towards Tremors.

Asylum movies have to be rated on a scale all their own. Given their trademark xeroxed plots, no name "actors", one marquee decades-past-their-prime-assuming-they-even-had-one former B-lister desperate for cash, incompetent direction, laughable special effects, continuity errors, Halloween costumes, two dollar budgets and so on, the best Asylum can hope for is 1 out of 10 when compared to professionally produced films. This was better than most excreted by Asylum, scoring 0.5, which is a 5 for an Asylum film. Five stars.

Took me 10 mins to realise this wasn't Soft Porn, then walked out of my own lounge. Acting was so bad it hurt my soul and realised literally anyone can make a movie in 2021, as long as you have a smartphone and an Instagram following.

Do not recommend, in case that wasn't obvious.

This one of those movies that hopes you mistakenly pick them instead of the actual movie you had in mind. This is NOT DUNE. Someone should sue these amateurs.

The better way to describe this atrocity is to compare a picture of Sean Young in the 1984 Dune and a picture of her in this (sic) film. Of course, it would be very ungentlemanly for me to go into the details, but it was, let's say, a somewhat weird and enlightening experience.

Anyway, everything in this mixture of a dumpster fire with a train wreck is abysmally bad.

Planet Dune is one of those films made with pocket money collected from a few friends, a few coins found under the couch, written by high school dropouts and acted by "actors" who would not be able to act in a pre-school play.

I only wonder what made Sean Young be on it.... Maybe she is owing money to a loan shark, has some gambling debts, has an expensive addiction....who knows!

The Asylum is known for there muckbusters but this was a really fun and entertaining movie.

A little janky at times but I expected worse. Overall a good time.

I really don't get people complaining « this » is not Dune. Of course it is not. Seriously: the cover says it all.

About the movie. CGI effects range from correct to poor (especially the worms), acting is OK up to good for the main characters. Second roles can be bad, though.

All in all, I was entertained for an hour and half. So this is decent, even great if you consider the very low budget.

To me the weakness of this movie is in the story itself: some parts are not believable, some rushed when they need development. Sometimes the story seems to jumps from character to character randomly. The end fells like "OK we need to finish what we started... in five minutes." Oh, and there is a scene totally ripped off the real Dune: it is badly done and was unnecessary to the plot (but maybe necessary to maintain the mockbuster legend).

As I said, 90 minutes of cheap entertainment, if you know what to expect. Could have been better with the help of a good story writer.

I torrent try anything and this took life away from me.

The actors and actresses in this movie got cheated. With the movie title it's a cheap con to get anyone confused with The REAL Dune staring Timothee Chalamet which is waaaaaaaay better and the effects are worht it.

This one is just horrible!

1) Find a popular movie that is due in theaters soon.

2) Get a bloated, past their prime actor or actress to star in it so you can put their name on the credits.

3) Find some young desperate actors or actresses willing to do anything to break into the business.

4) Add some low quality CGI effects made by some nerd on their computer.

5) Stretch out ten minutes of actual story into an hour and a half of walking around in front of green screens or some desert or forest preserve.

So the plot here is that a ship crashed on a desert planet and the surviving crew is menaced by sandworms. The movie spends an agonizing hour and a half having our characters avoid getting eaten.

Our bloated actor for today is Sean Young, who just retroactively killed all my teenage fantasies from watching her in Blade Runner and the 1984 Dune. Time has NOT been kind. Young has had a troubled history since her heyday in the 1980's, and I should be glad she is getting some kind of work. I think they had her for a day.

The spaceship CGI doesn't look bad, but the alien worm monster CGI looks just awful.

And that's about it. It's a chore to watch. I don't even think Asylum is fooling anyone at this point, we all know what we are in for...

This is a knock-off attempt to cash in on Dune (2021) and maybe get some accidental purchases from people trying to buy the other movie.

Its a basic B-movie and comes with the usual shoddy acting and special effects of varying quality the vfx in space actually look quite good but the worms less so at times. Though it still does a better job of showing the deserts than the Scifi mini series Frank Herbert's Dune.

It also features Sean Young who played Chani in Dune 1984. She is almost unrecognisable now but does a reasonable job in her role, though not as the lead as the poster sort of suggests.

The basic plot is that a group of people get stuck on Planet Dune attempting to rescue a downed freighter and end up having to battle sandworms before attempting their escape.

I stole my copy from my Walmart...Dang I thought it was Dune....was I wrong..But it did have Sean Young in it. But oh well it wasn't the worse movie ever. I can't add much more. But hope they make sequel or tv show about it.

If you liked Fred Ward in Tremors and are a Science Fiction fan you might actually watch this to the end - I did . This was not an attempt to re-story Dune - the name was a grabber and at best a bate and switch for those expecting something really good - The acting and special effects are just OK . Sean Young has been fighting weight issues for years and finally lost - at 62 she can be forgiven and does provide an upgrade in the acting category - I gave this a 5 because I watched it to the end for reasons stated above - not because it deserved a 5.

As far as low budget mock-busters are concerned, this one is pretty good. This rip-off of doom forgoes the complex plot and characters and gets right to the giant worms. While the plot is thin, the characterizations are adequate for this shallow adventure story. The performances aren't bad either and having someone the calibre of Sean Young in a supporting roll certainly helps. The sets and effects are budget, but they make good use of them for the most part and there aren't too many cringey visual moments. This isn't going to win any prizes, but it's a fun little B movie, and I can't imagine anyone was duped into seeing this thinking it was a film based on the Frank Herbert source material.

.... for a Mockbuster. After reading reviews here I am left wondering how anyone could actually mistake this for Dune? You can easily tell just by the cover that it's obviously not. Anyone that even halfway pays attention should be able to see that. For those out there that like mockbusters, or B movies in general, this is a decent watch. Would I buy it? Nope. But as I've said many times, I almost never buy movies. Sticking mostly to various streaming services instead. So maybe the fact that I didn't actually pay for it as an individual movie gives me an easier perspective. All in all I found it completely watchable, decent acting, it moved at a good steady pace, the effects were a bit cheesy like most B movies yes, but they were better than a lot of other movies I've seen, especially from SyFy or The Asylum. I think most people that watch scifi and horror movies with any regularity know what they are getting with The Asylum.... You don't go into one of their movies expecting top shelf effects, and anyone that sees a movie thats not even a year old with a $5 or less price tag should automatically just know its obviously not going to be the blockbuster that came out the year before. Js. Its common sense. I'm not big on just any B movie, I can't even stomach most of the ones the SyFy churns out. I have seen a small handful from The Asylum that were decent though, this now being ome of them. All in all I was entertained for an hour and a half.

Ok I knew that since is comes out together with dune it would be some knock off trying to get some views. I got here and I saw 1.8 and was wow I need to see wht this is so bad. So here is my humble verdict 1 star for the movie 10 start for being ridiculously cliche and turning out to be bordering hilarious.

Script - cliché, screen play - meh budget film, the actors did try to do something but could be worse.

Cinematographic - very budget.

My expectation was set to negative but since I cliches started pouring one after the other I went with the vibe and honestly, I was laughing my sitting part off almost trough out the whole thing.

It's silly, it's ridiculous, it is what you would expect, it makes 0 sense where it came from and if you sit to watch it as "f* it I am bored" you might enjoy it.

Pop a beer if you do.

Will not watch it again but still made me laugh :D.

So

Sunday night. Nothing much to do nor nothing good to watch. I got caught with this "Dune" mockbuster.

I said "ok." But being Asylum I didn't have any expectation at all.

But...

FX are pretty decent Acting is not awful Not full stupid dialogues and some backstory for the characters and some development for them And some pretty decent action

Asylum, are you alright?

Is not the usual trash Although is not prefect this time I can say is an evolution

The bad: some stupid lines and some stupid bad decisions on characters. Not a lot, thankfully

The good: pretty decent FX and npt awful acting

The best: Sean Young

A pretty solid 6,5/10 so I'll put 7/10 because it can be rated like it on imdb and I give an extra point for Sean

Not that bad and kind of enjoyable.

Pretty amazing though, that within two minutes of the opening credits, the first continuity error appears - dude is scared by a worm, throws his walkie-talkie out of his hand, and seconds later is seen BEING EATEN with said communicator STILL IN HIS HAND! (Are we not supposed to notice that???) The effects are great, but I can see any kind of narrative depth is going to be beyond this movie.
