Follow this guide on how to watch Dune on HBO Max from anywhere in the world. This leads me to another impressive aspect of this presentation. Admittedly I haven’t seen the film in maybe a couple of decades (and I haven’t seen the Extended Version, which isn’t available on this edition) but from my vague recollection I swear the optical effects look better here. To be clear, I don’t think they’ve been digitally touched up or altered, but I feel, at the very least, the contrast has been adjusted. I swear the optical effects really stood out in this film thanks to the varying contrast of the layers, but that’s actually not much of an issue here, the seams only slightly showing. I could be wrong, and please ignore if you know better, but I really felt the optical shots looked better. 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.now-prominent sci-fi franchises in its wake, it can't help but now feel a little derivative in some of its narrative elements and bigger dramatic

prowess, ambitious scope, strength of its core characters, and terrific production design all combine to create a living, breathing universe that will And it’s noticeable right away that Villeneuve seems to have ditched his apparent previous taste (evidenced by earlier sci-fis Arrival and Blade Runner 2049) for rather muted HDR. The blazingly bright desert skies of Arrakis appear searingly intense – almost so much you wish you had some Fremen sun shades and a Stillsuit to wear on your sofa. Dune comes to UK 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray courtesy of Warner but we have to wait further into January for that, and in the meantime Warner's Italian 4K release was available to import for Christmas, and is presumably identical to it.

Other than the Extended Version of the film—which, again, Lynch hates—the documentary is the one missing piece that would have really sealed the deal on this release.

In the history of science fiction, there have been a number of high-concept works that cut through the trappings of genre pulp (robots, laser guns, aliens) to describe timeless stories of the human condition. Among the best are Arthur C. Clarke’s 2001: A Space Odyssey, Isaac Asimov’s Foundation Trilogy, and Ray Bradbury’s The Martian Chronicles. As good as any of them, however, is Frank Herbert’s Dune. Set many thousands of years in the future, it’s a multi-layered tale of two great royal houses (the Atreides and Harkonnen) which are engaged in a struggle to control the most valuable planet in the universe... Dune (also known as Arrakis), and its all-important export, the spice melange that makes space travel, longer life, and prescience possible. The rightful heir to the planet, young Paul Atreides, is the product of an ancient genetic breeding program. His is more than a political struggle though; before the story is fully told, Paul will become Muad’Dib—a prophet who will help the native people of Arrakis to reclaim their world, and help the human race to reclaim its identity. Richly steeped in political, cultural, and ecological detail, with no small measure of commentary on religion, gender dynamics, and colonialism, Dune essentially predicted the global geo-politics of the next half century, yet remains as relevant today as ever. Herbert’s novel won both the Hugo and Nebula awards for science fiction literature and inspired multiple sequels. It remains one of the most highly-regarded novels of all time. also get plenty of use via expansive room echoes and other location-specific elements.
