Well, first of all I must admit that I am not really a great fan of the sci-fi genre, unless it turns out to be "Star Wars". But still, I was given the chance to sit down and watch the 2020 movie "Dune Drifter", and since I hadn't already seen it, of course I found the time to sit down to do so.
While "Dune Drifter" was semi-watchable, writer and director Marc Price wasn't really delivering a sci-fi classic with this particular movie. The plot was just way too generic and predictable.
The special effects were adequate for the movie, given it was a relatively low budget movie. And I will say that the props were definitely good. Well, aside from the suit that the 'enemy' was wearing, which was just a hardball protective outfit with a gasmask. Seriously? That was just so laughable and painful to watch, and it was so hard to take it serious.
"Dune Drifter" is the type of movie that you will watch once, then never think about it again, because the contents to the storyline and script were just so vague and mundane that there simply is no purpose to watching it a second time. Plus, the movie just can't support more than a single viewing anyway.
Initially I had thought that "Dune Drifter" might have been a mockbuster from The Asylum on the upcoming "Dune" movie. Luckily it wasn't that. But let's just be honest, "Dune Drifter" was by no means a memorable movie regardless.
My rating of "Dune Drifter" settles on a generous three out of ten stars.
