Dune Drifter

Luckily I didn't see the rating on this before watching this movie. It's better than many 6 star movies and it certainly isn't stupidly unrealistic like even a few big budget movies. The sci-fi part is quite good and despite the low budget it's quite good what the team has achieved. The story line is a bit slow but still faster than a few of the reknowned series. That's good enough for me to watch it once and enjoy it. A good story and execution also helps.

This was not a stinker, despite the bad one star reviews here, especially if you grew up watching way cheesier sci fi than this. Low budget yes, but well done low budget. The only cringe-worthy scene is the phalanx of Earth ships in space early on. The name of the movie bears no relation to the story, but it got me to look. Don't expect big budget effects. This is a fairly well done character study of someone trying to survive, not a sweeping space opera.

For people confusing this with Dune Anything, if they would just read the description of the movie they would figure out it has nothing to do with the HerbertVerse. There are no Sand worms, No mighty Houses, no Bene Gesserit, and no Muad' Dib, and No, the spice does not flow.

This is a raw movie. A simply made movie. Too realistic for most people. A movie for hardcore sci-fi fans who will stick it out through all the unpleasant screaming in the beginning, the somewhat bland darkness of space, and the simplistic props and wardrobe.

But alas, no one wants to use their imagination anymore, so when they see simple costumes they immediately crap all over other peoples hard work.

You don't like what this director did, that's fine. How about you make a movie so we can all see how well you would do...

This wasn't a great film, great story, or great acting. The movie IS long and tedious. But the last 10 minutes make it worthwhile as things come together and some questions are answered.

Will I ever watch this again? No. I am content I saw it once, though.

Come on first this movie does not deserve a 1 its not that bad of course clear up the fake reviews with the 8-9-10 too because it certainly does not deserve such a high rating.

The effects are quit good if you compare this to the awful asylum movies. For the budget they did a great job with that. Looking at the FX the costumes and all they where able to do this with 100k even the spaceship battle at the start of the movie are well done.

Its a sci fi very low budget movie. I am giving it a 5 for the effort also the acting was not that bad compared to today standards of beautiful people with no brain.

"How can we sell this piece of movie gold? Think damn you, think!"

"I know! Stick the word DUNE big as brass on the cover art, then add the word Drifter in tiny writing."

"Right, that's the plan, meeting adjourned."
