12 Sci-Fi Movies Just as Action-Packed and Visually Incredible as Dune

Based on a book, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring is like Dune in that it's about a quest and has gorgeous, scenic cinematography of mountains, rivers, and more. In Dune, the emphasis is on a precious resource worth saving, but in this early-2000s movie, you'll see Frodo search for the ring of Sauron so he can destroy it.
