September 27, 2008Absolutely stunning. One of the best films going. A world almost more absorbing then Star Wars, for me. Poor ending and I felt the Harkonnen were too much like stereotypes, caricatures of themselves.

August 8, 2008i think lynch should've stuck to perfecting his sci-fi exploits because his other films just don't affect me at all. this is much more interesting and his weirdness almost belongs in a sci-fi theme. strange and good sets. bizarre script and story. the spice is almost a drug in na...( read more)

Ok, so a lot of trivia is already known about this film. Ridley Scott was set...( read more) -

November 18, 2009A truly hard piece to rate. The direction and vision is wonderfully done, the content is just so overwhelming that even three hours cant do it complete justice.

More than half way thru (& trying to complete a semester of Spanish, Student interning & endless essays & research) FUN with a capital F! Whew! Incredibly erotic written by Frank Herbert.

October 9, 2006I'd only heard bad things about the film before watching it. I reckon it's one of Lynch's best. It's just filled with the most insane characters and inventions. I love it. All the weirdness and atmosphere of Lost Highway with an epic story.
