Author Frank Herbert offers us quite an in-depth view of the world he has built. The world of Dune enjoys the same depth Lord of The Rings‘ Middle-Earth does. In addition to being immensely beneficial for interstellar travel, the spice is a miracle drug that grants its users superior mental abilities and enhanced life expectancy, essentially elevating them to a higher human.Īs the House Atreides realizes the complexity of the task at hand, they must also battle opposing Houses who the Emperor has very cleverly pit them against, in a bid to weaken their position and render them unable to challenge his authority. Arrakis, though inhospitable and sparsely populated is the only planet that produces ‘melange’ or ‘spice’. It is set in the distant future, where humanity has grown technologically intelligent enough to lay claim to planets other than the Earth.ĭune chronicles the journey of the Atreides family who are tasked by the Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV to accept stewardship of the desert planet Arrakis. Much like its predecessor, Dune is also adapted from a series of books by author Frank Herbert. The movies were adapted from a series of books by author J.R.R Tolkien who had given the world of Middle-Earth incredible and intricate depth. Perhaps a large part of its appeal was the depth of this world. It is the tale of Frodo Baggins who embarks on a larger than life journey to rid the world of the chaos of the One Ring, crafted by the Emperor of Darkness himself, Sauron.
The Lord of the Rings is a story of hope and triumph in the face of insurmountable odds.
