Though it doesn't compare in special effects at all today. Then at the time it was pretty much state of the art (Star Wars) being the best in special effects ever done by George Lucas at the time. But, I found after reading the Dune series which was started to be written in 1965. At the time the flower child movement was beginning which explains the "Spice" the way it was written into the story at that time. So, it was before Janis Joplin and Jimmie Hendrix died so there was still a hopeful feeling about the Flower Children and before Woodstock which I believe was in 1969. By 1970 many musicians and regular people were dying in droves from various drugs so this changed everything after that. Then in the 1980s AIDS changed everything away from the Sexual Revolution of the 1960s again into something else after that too.
So, if you understand what was happening in 1965 when Frank Herbert first started writing about Dune you get a better sense of what the plot is all about and where he was trying to go with all this then.
Another book inspired by the 1960s was Heinlein's "Stranger in a Strange Land" which I highly recommend reading because this book was really well done and written if you can believe it in 1961 which is even before all the major changes began in college students with the "Free Speech" movement at UC Berkeley in 1964.
