Dune [DVD] [Standard]

When I saw the pre order, I wasn’t even sure if a new remake that had slipped by me during Covid so I rushed to order without checking. Coolest steel box and display but it’s simply a remastered version of one of my old, old, old favorites. Old meaning it doesn’t really have all of the same pizzazz as some newer releases when it comes to overhead atmos surround speaker experience

A great sci-fi classic. Looks fantastic in 4K. Beautiful artwork as well.

This is a super weird movie. If you haven't seen it, recognize that it may not be for you. But in the "culty" world of cinema, this is a legendary and notable film (whether you like it or not!) for a bunch of reasons. As far as the film transfer, this is a solid presentation of Dune. However, it is far from a definitive version. I suspect, now that Dune is being remade, that this older Lynch-directed version will get a new release and will most likely be remastered in 4K. However, that edition will be comparatively expensive. Might be better to just get this version for cheap before it is replaced.

I have watch this movie so many times. The TV series they tried to do did not do this movie justice. Sting skinny, Patrick Stewart as one of the warriors all for the "Spice." I just had to purchase it on blu ray for better quality

This is not a review of the discs. I own the steelbox DVD 1984 version which includes both the original theatrical release and the extended versions. As with the LOTR extended version movies, the Dune extended version is so much better. I will not upgrade to blu-ray or 4K until the longer version is released!
