Having converted most of my old video collection to DVD I was thrilled to find this film gem in digital format. If you watch this in widescreen format, it really does the battle scene great justice; coupled with surround sound, you'll be gripped by the amazing cinematography. I would recommend the director's cut that includes scenes about the relationship between the lead character and his estranged wife and helps you to understand the motivation behind his decision. The run time is 183 minutes for the directors cut and 120 minutes for the cinema version. I was, however, disappointed by the lack of extras, which any fan of this classic would expect to be included. There's only a 20-minute interview with the director and other shot "making-of" vignettes.

Dunes from the pastReview created: 01/07/09

) It was nice to reminise about the films I loved when I had time to watch them. This is an original one of a kind that got the imagination flowing and you could lose yourself in it. It makes a change to watch something that doesn't involve bad language, explosions that maim and destroy in very graphic detail. Not everyone wants to see the same thing again and again. There is nothing in this that is about the real world, it is a way of letting yourself forget the worries of life and indulge yourself and your imagination.

Dune DVDIt is an old film but the special effects were great . The story line waaas weak , not like the book . I can see why it is an iconic film . It came popular with the rise of the flower era as thoughts changed .

Dune David Lynch
) First time I watche Dune was over 15 years ago (so you've got a rough idea about my age...) Everything had looked so weird to me and I was young and pretty impatient--guess what? I fell asleep and had to pull off the videotape and return it to the shop after waking up from my sweet little dream. No, my first meaningful encounter with David Lynch had to wait a while longer--Twin Peaks, that was.
I watched Dune again several days ago thanks to the Observer freebie. Even it was well after midnight, I found myself quite spirited and excited. The incredibly fresh and young-looking Kyle Maclachlan (can you believe he's 24/25 when shooting the film?) contrasts every inch with what he was at Sex and the City, and the script wasn't too bad, either. I'm no sci-fi fan, I must confess. Watching the film doesn't make me become one, and I have to say I much prefer the darkness and intrigue that mark out Lynch's later contributions. Still, Dune is thoroughly enjoyable. The visual techniques may seem a bit dated from today's viewpoint, but hey, you got Kyle and Patrick Stewart in one go!
