Tubi Thursday: Dune World/Sand World (2021)

 Mark Polonia- why do I bother?

Oh right- he made a Dune rip-off (at least a Film marketed as one) in 2021.  Let's bite the bullet...

It is a dark future.

It's a shame that paying for lights is expensive.

If you think I'm making a lazy joke about this Film's low-budget, let me just show you their Robot Character...

Amidst a sea of pre-rendered Ships, Space and Desert Models in Dazzle, a ship full of, well, four people is going to Mars to mine Not Spice.

The bulk of their ship is a barely repurposed bit of office space.

They go to the Planet when something hits their ship and they have no choice.

They wander around in PPE, which oddly makes a recent Film about the far Future seem suddenly dated.

*slow clap*

On the Planet, they are attacked by...a Sand Worm....

Yes, it is a puppet.
Yes, Cecil from Beeny and Cecil looks better.

It is a Mark Polonia Film- you get what you pay for!
(that's why I watch them for Free on Tubi).

You don't need to know more- trust me.

Just enjoy this decent shot...that they probably just bought online.

The End.

On the plus side, it (hopefully) didn't take you an Hour to read this.  That's how long the Film is.
Don't worry- they stretch it to an Hour and 6 minutes with Credits.

It's bad.
It's cheap.
It barely tries.

Can't afford Sets?  Do something interesting...or just Film at random, tight angles in your own Office Space.  Don't hide the Room Signs or random objects- like a folding table sitting on its side- or anything.

Even putting the Budget aside, nothing interesting happens.  Lots of wandering in front of a Green Screen or in an Office.  Bad attempts at replicating Paul Atreides' visions.  Random shots of people that are supposed to mean something.

I won't SPOIL the Ending, but let's just say that it is lazy and I hate it.

At least this was the only Dune knock-off on Streaming in...and I can't even finish that sentence, can I?

Seriously, I've seen uninspired Films that cost $100 million or more.  If you did this exact same Film for the same amount, it would still be awful.
