DVD Reviews of Dune (Extended Edition)

DVD Review: Dune DVD
Summary: 5 Stars

This is an obscure movie that our son wanted after reading the book series. It arrived on time and in perfect condition. He loves it!

DVD Review: An okay mistake
Summary: 4 Stars

I didn't mean to order this in the format I did but I'm sure that it will be nice to have it on the computer. Love the movie and I've always wanted it.

DVD Review: Best of it's Genre!
Summary: 5 Stars

Dune (Extended Edition) This has got to be the definitive for this genre of Science Fiction! I think the story as well as the cinematography are the top of the list! The extended version has more dialogue as well as the story board introduction that gives a reference to how the human race has evolved to the level it was at this time. Then the next step...Muad'Dib! A MUST if you don't have it!

DVD Review: Good for what it is
Summary: 3 Stars

Actually not a bad movie in its own right, although fans of the book will scream at the liberties taken with characterizations and the plot.

DVD Review: Childhood re-lived
Summary: 5 Stars

I love this movie, The spice, the Baron, the worms, Paul Atraitis or Usul, Muad'Dib, Arakis, it's all here. What a great movie! This movie moves much faster and gives, not all, but enough of the book to keep the story moving. Plus BONUS we have Sting playing the Bad guy Feyd-Rautha Rabban... how can this movie go wrong? One of my all time favorites from my early years.

Description of Dune (Extended Edition)

In the distant future a man appears to be the prophet that a long-suffering galaxy has been waiting for. Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 01/31/2006 Starring: Linda Hunt Virginia Madsen Run time: 190 minutes Rating: Pg13 Director: David Lynch
Even more than most of David Lynch's deliberately bizarre and idiosyncratic movies, Dune is a "love-it-or-hate-it" affair. An ambitious, epic, utterly mind-boggling--and, let's admit it, all-out weird--adaptation of Frank Herbert's classic science fiction novel, Dune remains one of the most controversial films in the director's exceedingly provocative career. The story (if Dune can be said to have just one story) is complex and convoluted in the epic tradition; it has

something to do with political intrigue and a planet that is home to a precious spice and gigantic sand worms. Think Shakespeare's Henry IV with a dash of Tremors, and set in another galaxy. But despite plenty of strangely whispered voice-overs that explain the characters' thoughts (and endlessly detailed exposition), storytelling is not really among the film's strong points. There are, however, a lot of memorably fantastic/grotesque images, an extraordinary cast, and a soundtrack featuring Toto. I told you it was weird. Among the stars are Kyle MacLachlan, Jos? Ferrer, Dean Stockwell, Brad Dourif, Sting, Kenneth McMillan, Patrick

DVD features
Melange fans have a lot to be excited about with this impressive edition of Dune, though the "Extended Edition" label is a bit misleading. If you are expecting the mythic 4 hour "David Lynch preferred" version that is rumored to be sitting in a vault, don't get your hopes up. This isn't it. In an attempt to quickly sober spice-fueled giddy fans, producer Raffaella De Laurentiis (daughter of Dino De Laurentiis) immediately reveals in the 'Deleted Scenes' introduction that the rumored 4 hour version is just that; a rumor. What this DVD set does contain is the 2 Hour 17 Minute original theatrical release digitally remastered, available for the first time in 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen and 5.1 surround sound. The presentation on this edition is a drastic improvement from the original letterboxed release. On the flipside of the DVD

Knife fight!
is the alternate 2 hour 57 minute version cut for television. As many fans know, this 'extended' version was disowned by Lynch, who insisted his name be replaced by that famous Hollywood pseudonym "Alan Smithee;" the name used by directors whose film was taken away and recut against their wishes. There is some new material in the 14 minutes of deleted scenes offering a bit more background into the Bene Gesserit sisterhood, the Kwisatz Haderach prophecy and the Fremen culture and their struggle. All other extras focus on the international production crew of Dune including the design team, special effects, and short documentaries on the miniature models and wardrobe designs. Disappointingly, there are no appearances in the bonus features by any of the original cast or Lynch himself. However, many of the production crew members talk openly about working with David Lynch and his artistic involvement in the visual process. To cap it off, this edition comes in a very stylish and sturdy DVD tin that opens like a keep case. --Rob Bracco
