'Dune' review: The spice flows well with this one


A masterclass in world-building and with a strong performance by Timothée Chalamet, 'Dune' is the adaptation that all fans of Frank Herbert's novel have dreamed of. – Photos: Warner Bros Malaysia

The first thing you should know is that Dune is no Star Wars. So, if you were expecting a fast-paced space opera with lots of catchy quips and laser sword fights, this is not the film for you.

The best way to describe Dune to a non-fan is "Game Of Thrones meets Star Trek". But even that is an oversimplification of the true scope of Frank Herbert’s seminal 1965 novel.
