Product Description
Following a notorious aborted attempt by Alejandro Jodorowsky in the 1970s, Frank Herbert’s bestselling sci-fi epic Dune finally made it to the big screen as the third film by emerging surrealist wunderkind David Lynch, featuring an all-star cast that includes several of Lynch’s regular collaborators.
The year is 10,191, and four planets are embroiled in a secret plot to wrest control of the Spice Melange, the most precious substance in the universe and found only on the planet Arrakis. A feud between two powerful dynasties, House Atreides and House Harkonnen, is manipulated from afar by ruling powers that conspire to keep their grip on the spice. As the two families clash on Arrakis, Duke Atreides’ son Paul (Kyle MacLachlan, in his screen debut) finds himself at the center of an intergalactic war and an ancient prophecy that could change the galaxy forever.
Though its initial reception ensured that Lynch largely eschewed mainstream filmmaking for the rest of his career, Dune has since been rightly re-evaluated as one of the most startlingly original and visionary science fiction films of the 1980s. Its astonishing production design and visual effects can now be appreciated anew in this spellbinding 4K restoration, backed by hours of comprehensive bonus features.

If you like one Dune it is worth it to see the other one too. There are a lot of plot changes.
I like the extended better.
The GOOD STUFF: Many scenes have a great deal of the HD pop, and as soon as Princess Irulan begins her opening monolog the difference in PQ from previous releases is apparent. Things stay looking pretty good until we get to Geidi Prime (Home of House Harkonnen) and then things look SPECTACULAR. After hundred of viewings of this film, I noticed details I had not seen before! There are MANY impressive looking scenes in this new edition and the all important "water of life" sequence and the final battle and the end scene in the Hall of Rites all look stunning and nearly three dimensional. They are gorgeous.
THE BAD STUFF: Dirt, specks, lines, threads, all sorts of debris on the print show up FREQUENTLY and they ARE distracting. There is also significant fade damage on the right side of the print in several of the "Paul meets the fremen" sequences and the "Paul trains the fremen and blows up a big pyramid" sequences. This damage has been apparent on EVERY widescreen edition of the film Universal has put out and while it does look a little better on this edition (as if they tried to do something about it) it is still there. Certainly all of the specks and dirt (some small, others the size of footballs) could have been removed through digital means but Universal didn't bother with it. Black levels are not the best either and skin tones are all over the place, with the Baraon appearing very pink in every scene while Reverend Mother Gaius Helen Mohiam is consistently yellow. There is some noticeable grain at times but I can put up with that. It is the frequent dirt and debris I object to.
The DTS-HD sound is pretty good for the most part and there was a lot of great wind blowing from my rear speakers during the majestic opening title music. The roar of the worms gave my subwoofer a good pounding as did the scene where Paul plants the thumper but often the sound was a bit harsh and unconvincing. I suspect this is the fault of the original source and I suspect Universal has done the best they could with this soundtrack.
THE EXTRAS: LESS than what was included in the 2005 DVD release! Most importantly the extended version (flawed though it is) is not included here. I guess they know DUNE fans will double dip when they re-release this disc with that version. Also not included is the beautiful photo gallery. The theatrical trailer is nowhere to be found here either and none of the printed material from either the DVD original release or the booklet from the 2005 release is included. There is however plenty of advertisement from the UNIVERSAL BD LIVE TICKER trying to sell you stuff (it has to be manually turned off every time). If you turn this feature off, which plays OVER THE (ugly and generic) MAIN MENU, you will be treated to the message that you can no longer access their wonderful BD LIVE features (which consist of absolutely NOTHING but advertisements) because you are not connected to the internet! The rest of the extra material from the 2005 release is presented here in "fullscreen" format in SD, so all of the cool deleted scenes will be window boxed. The disc was also rather slow and clunky to load taking a full three minutes to get to the feature film.
The entire presentation of this release seems very half-hearted to me. I DO like the cover art (the same from the 2005 release) and at least the keepcase isn't one of those garbage eco cases. The disc itself looks entirely generic with no artwork whatsoever. Maybe I am expecting too much for an older catalog title but I've seen so many even older titles look so much better on blu ray than this thing does.
Universal seems to have spent far more time finding ways to advertise itself and the bluray format than bothering with the release of a top notch catalog title. Come on, if they are going to tell me on the front cover and the back cover that I am buying a PERFECT picture, then at least don't sell me something that has this many imperfections all over it. I have actually seen a few bluray discs that I thought lived up to their "perfect" hype but this disc isn't one of them. Not by a long shot.

Can’t wait to watch this and get my Dune fix
Great customer service and Ccollectables knows there stuff
Ich wurde aber sehr positiv überrascht. Zwar ist auch diese Version noch nicht perfekt aber ich bin schwer beeindruckt.
Ich hatte Bedenken, dass die oft kritisierten optischen Effekte auf der Blu-Ray nur noch schlimmer würden und das sich die Ausstattung des Films als
vielleicht doch nicht so grandios herausstellen würde. Das Gegenteil ist der Fall: Die optischen Tricks kommen deutlich besser als auf den DVD Varianten rüber. Das Bild ist insgesamt sehr gut. Die Ausstattung und die Detailverliebtheit dieses Films kann erst jetzt richtig bewundert werden. Ich habe selten einen Film gesehen, der derartig aufwendige Kulissen und Kostüme hat. Diese bestehen die hohe Auflösung ohne jeden Makel, im Gegenteil, man sieht erst jetzt richtig, welch großer Aufwand hier betrieben wurde. Einfach fantastisch.
Auch die Massenszenen sind jetzt überwältigender. Man muss sich hier immer vor Augen halten, dass all diese Fremen echte Menschen und kein CGI sind.
Dann wird einem schnell klar, was hier logistisch bewegt werden musste. Ich habe mich immer wieder gefragt, wie teuer dieser Film eigentlich gewesen sein muss.
So ein Projekt ließe sich heute wohl nicht mehr finanzieren.
Die Bu-Ray beweist warum DUNE trotz aller Schwächen ein Meisterwerk ist. Genau wie die Bücher ist er fremdartig, teilweise abstoßend aber zugleich eben auch überwältigend und faszinierend. Buch und Film sind und bleiben sperrig (was gut so ist). DUNE konnte nie ein Blockbuster werden (was auch gut so ist).
Aber der Film hat gerade dadurch eine stetig wachsende Fangemeinde gewonnen. Und nicht zuletzt hat er auf beeindruckende Art unser Bild des DUNE Universums geprägt.
Eines darf ich vielleicht sagen:
Mich persönlich stört das Ende des Films, wahrscheinlich musste hier ein irgendwie geartetes Happy End her...aber Regen auf Arrakis?
Zum Ton:
Nun, tatsächlich ist die deutsche Tonspur nur auf PCM vorhanden und vermittelt das Kinofeeling eines mittelstädtischen kleinen Kinos mit 30 Sitzen...
Man braucht schon eine gute Anlage um den deutschen Ton wiederzugeben. Einfache Systeme dürften hier etwas zum Übersteuern neigen.
Da die Disc (jedenfalls auf meinem ansonsten sehr zuverlässigen Panasonic Player) kein Menü aufweist bin ich eher durch ausprobieren auf die englische DTS Spur gestoßen.
Diese ist allerdings dann wirklich stark und passt zum perfektem Bild. Auffällig ist jedoch, dass die Informationen zum Ton auf dem Cover schlicht falsch sind.
Die englische Originalspur unterstreicht auch den Eindruck, das DUNE in vielen Zügen ein Kunstfilm ist. Viele Dialoge wirken wie auf einer Theaterbühne vorgetragen.
Was fehlt:
Sicherlich ist der deutsche Ton zu bemängeln, aber daran wird sich wohl nichts mehr ändern lassen. Schade ist, dass die Disc über kein Bonusmaterial verfügt. Gerade bei DUNE wäre ein Making Of hochinteressant.
FAZIT: So habe ich DUNE noch nicht gesehen (an die Kinoversion kann ich mich nicht mehr erinnern...). Einfach nur wahnsinnig beeindruckend.
Ich habe die Blu-Ray hier bei Amazon für 6,99 (inkl. Versand) gekauft, da kann man nix falsch machen. Die Disc war in 2 Tagen zuhause, das ist ebenfalls top wie immer.
