Turning one of the greatest sci-fi novels of all time into a workable film is hard work, but David Lynch was up to the task. I think this would have been an easy four stars if his original vision had been allowed.
Although it is incredibly confusing, very badly directed at times (cut by the studio many times), and anti climactic, the story is amazing. I enjoyed the music, the set and location shots, and acting. Too bad it was hacked up by the studio.
Director's Cut is a must see! The theatrical version makes little sense and I often times thought one must be on drugs to "get it". However the Director's cut actually makes perfect sense and is really an epic movie. This should have been a trilogy.
