This 1992 Japanese film tells the story of a scientist who sets out to create the new "super Adam and Eve", humans who cannot be controlled by their emotions. Of course, the end result it not exactly what the good doctor expects.
comments from imdb:
This modern tale of an attempt to build a creature is one of the best "horror" films ever made, even if its not a horror film but something else entirely. Certainly its on my short list of all time great films.
This film was introduced to me by someone who told me "I have this film that probably one of the best films you'll ever see. It will move you and touch you and make you think, but if I told you what it is and told you how its done you will think its the stupidest thing on the face of it and you won't watch it." Intrigued I asked what did he mean, and he said, "Well its a Frankenstein story, with a very goofy sort of edge, but which uses it to its advantage." My ears perked up, and I being a trusting soul took the tape and watched it. I was blown away.
The plot concerns a mad scientist attempting to make a new Adam and Eve in the wake of a suicidal plague that is ravaging the world. Locked up in his lab his experiments go differently then either he or we expect. Some of it is silly (The bolts in the neck, the wrestling moves...), all of it is touching and thought provoking.
I can not recommend this movie enough. If you are willing to take the film on its terms and allow it to tell its story then I urge you to seek this film out and see it. This is an undiscovered gem that will stay with you forever.
15 out of 10 and then some. 10/10
Also known as "The Last Frankenstein", this is an extraordinary, impeccably produced horror film. Director Takeshi Kawamura uses Mary Shelley's novel as a mere launching pad for an exploration of subjects as diverse and fascinating as the nature of love, desire, suicide, mass hypnosis, sex, alienation and jealousy.
And though the film is dense with subtext, it is also stunningly photographed and rich in atmosphere and detail. The performances are all amazing and Kawamura's sensitive handling of the strange, delicate relationships between the characters results in an emotionally charged, angst-ridden tragedy.
The scenes of the confused, troubled monster hurtling through a fog-shrouded forest at night are memorable and striking, as is a brilliant home movie-style montage of the film's more curious characters enjoying a precious afternoon at the beach. Kawamura creates resonating visual poetry of horror and sadness barely sighted since Todd Browning's classic "Freaks".
Intelligent, emotional, tragic and real, this is an absolute gem. 9/10
删除承上启下的晚宴剧情是一个相当大胆的决定，宫廷coup被直接简化为异军入侵自然是为了平衡取舍、着眼主线；除此以外，虽然丹尼斯已经竭尽全力地把海量信息塞进故事的每一个角落，需要根据原作文本自行补充的拼图碎片依然不在少数。这就像是一场小林丸测试，无人可以完美通关；但这一次的影像化至少是一份拼上全力交出的答卷。
大全景、慢节奏、音效堆砌、巨大飞行器不等于史诗。
「两个多小时的预告片」评价很精准，哈哈哈哈。全片都是古老与未来、自然与科技的融合，就像钢筋铁骨的宇宙飞船降落在山水之间或沙丘之上的图景。甜茶的忧郁和神秘气息太适合这个角色了！
看的时候一直在想，香料到底是什么奇奇怪怪的设定，嗯？
剧本想象力不行，大约8000年以后，政治体制上毫无建树还搞皇帝那一套，思想上还是玩玄学宗教，战争上更夸张竟然回归械斗了。。。
在各种廉价爆米花电影充斥主流商业片的今天，还能看到这么一部如此古典叙事且代表着好莱坞最高制作水准的巨作，简直就如同目睹恐龙再次横行于地球。虽说本片仅是系列序幕，着重于铺陈世界观，但独立成章亦属上乘，起承转合都挑不出什么毛病。至于汉斯·季默的配乐，再多的赞美在如此恢弘的音乐面前都是苍白的
用慢速活活拖出一部三小时，居然还想要拍续集，用ip一波一波的收割观众，还好想看的人不多
剥去那些玄乎其玄的命运和血缘能力，把香料换成石油，这简直是一部不能更直白的中东创伤史。
还是熟悉的牛蛙，一定要刷IMAX，得去看原著补课了。
天选之茶，传女不传男的吼功尚未练成。沙漠春药，闻到就会梦现佳人倩影，终弥得佳人，高出携手，俯瞰沙丘。
画面很不错。音乐推着你走。
《银翼杀手2049》上映采访高司令的时候，他说过自己最喜欢的科幻作品之一是《沙丘》。而当代除了维伦纽瓦，很难想象还有谁更适合将这样一部鸿篇巨制来搬上银幕。这部电影既有庞大的世界观和古典的故事框架，也处处是克制的留白。它完全超越了好莱坞的类型片叙事。它所带来的并非只是震撼的视觉奇观，而是一种只可意会的、科幻的语言。或许这就是Z时代的史诗。诗意而冰冷，模糊而简洁，庞大而神秘，古典又未来。
那么老土的王子复仇记套路，用了一个也不是很科技感的未来场景，戴副有颜色的隐形眼镜也能算sci-fi吗？都没有关于未来的概念上的创新。一千零一夜都能骑飞毯啦，8000年后还要靠两人座的直升机，背hiking小背囊…反反复复的slow mo的史诗感也很疲乏。敢不敢让老妈做真正的大boss/the one🤣
1，好看，是真的好看。这个好看包括并不局限于，美术，表演，动作场面等，尤其是美术，我觉得最体现想象力。但我真正想要看到的想象力部分，则几乎缺失。——换而言之，这是部好看的电影，但不是我期盼的科幻电影，这也是没办法的事，故事的原著杵在那。2，最近十年，最符合我期盼的科幻电影/剧是《降临》（好巧，也是本片导演导的，可见剧本内容之重要），和《湮灭》，剧有《无垠的太空》第二季第三季，还有半部《星际穿越》。3，在我看来，科幻一定要给我带来超出我地球人思维的认知体验，才叫科学幻想。在地球人思维框架里打转转的，都不能让我达到幻想之嗨。4，个人尤其对披着“科幻”外衣的莎士比亚故事有些麻木了，甚至有些下意识反弹，因为同样的心理和道理，对短评里起此彼伏的维伦纽瓦封神说，也无感。换而言之，都太套路了，没新东西。

除了完美的视听美学享受，看完沙丘之后在想一个问题，一个故事的经典与陈旧的区别究竟在哪呢？
This is only the beginning, 看到最后有深深的被坑感，合着和几十个不戴口罩的人坐一屋儿仨小时就看了个序章前言😂 废土美学满分，音乐特效满分，imax杜比厅效果满分，男主他爹演技也可以满分，但是天选之子救世主的故事真的有点过时了。整体感觉很星战，应该也会和星战一样拍成影院连续剧。设定是未来，但其实讲的是历史，原著归类为科幻，但拍出来的是奇幻，就很想吐槽，都一万年后了，男人们还是在用冷兵器厮杀，有枪但是枪射出来的是飞镖哈哈哈哈，飞行器还是叮叮哐哐一飞方圆几百里都能听到，这就是过男人至死是少年的瘾呗。男主不跟女主一起冒险而是全程跟妈一起冒险也是很有意思，张震莫名其妙背叛又莫名其妙死了，总之感觉看了个寂寞。
终于得以开启新世界，不知道佐杜洛夫斯基是否能得到慰藉。幽远的战歌一响起，属于异域的沙尘就扑面而来。节奏是缓慢的，信息量却很大，随着主角梦境的不断闪现，如同盗梦空间一般得以在现实/梦境、戏内/戏外不断游走。懂得节制的导演是多么可贵，用古典的气质去创造宏大历史，不能更迷人了。
不得不说影片设定非常old school，上次看到这种战争场面还是在《三国演义》里。
那时，水不再昂贵，他们想喝水的时候就能喝水，想洗澡的时候就能洗澡。
