Movie Reviews of Dune (1984) [HD DVD]
Movie Review: Totally amazing
Summary: 5 Stars
This HD DVD is amazing, the DVD versions of Dune are usually very dark with noisy stereo sound. This one's image and sound is crystal clear.
If you like Dune, you should have it.
Movie Review: Dune, In HD
Summary: 5 Stars
Dune is a fun movie to watch in HD, mostly because some of the special effects didn't make the transition to well, like the Duke's suspension wires are visible in some scenes.Movie Review: Wonderful!
Summary: 5 Stars
You saved me so much wear and tear looking in all the stores for this movie. My husband loves this movie and was thrilled to receive it on DVD HD. Keep up the great work!Movie Review: HD--not compatible
Summary: 5 Stars
I didn't notice the DVD was "HD", so won't play on my DVD player. But that's my bad, for not reading closer, and doing more research. I didn't know the difference.Movie Review: There is more to the extended version than rumor...
Summary: 4 Stars
Every once in a while, the Disney channel has aired the version of Dune that is over 3 hours in length and it fills in some story line gaps very nicely. I am surprised it is disowned by De Laurentis considering how many cult fans would buy it. I know I am not the only one out there who has as many different versions of the Dune releases as I do of the Star Wars ones. The very extended version has a long opening that gives background on the Spacing Guild, the Bene Jeseret (sp), and even the 2 houses of Harkonnen and Atreides as well as the Emperor and spice itself. It may seem unnecessary for the average movie watcher to have this much detail but have them try reading the book and if they are not used to deep science fiction, they will be more lost than watching the movie either extended or shortened. David Lynch knows what there is in the "vault" which is why he distanced himself from this release and not the standard DVD release with the 2:57 time run version. This film seems to have the same problem as Blade Runner and the Highlander movies. Lucas may have done justice to the original Episodes with the CG add ins, debatably but even with Empire, he could not add much to a near perfect film (except for a few light saber improvements and window scenes in Bespin). I will enjoy this HD DVD version of Dune as I have the others I own but still know there is more footage available that has been aired and for some political reason, at best, our De Laurentis friends reserve it. The family is famous for some great flicks including the Conan movies as well as some more recent attempts at good movie making.
