ReviewsTime Out - it gets under your skin and is marked by unforgettable images and an extraordinary soundtrack., Variety - DUNE is a huge, hollow, imaginative and cold sci-fi epic.
Consumer AdviceContains moderate violence
Additional InformationDavid Lynch's baroque rendering of Frank Herbert's detailed, complex, and deliberately paced epic science-fiction novel is a muddled but visually stunning affair. It's 10991, and the desert planet Dune has been taken over by the Harkonnens, oppressive conquerors who desire the precious spice that lies beneath Dune's arid sands. The story concerns the attempts of a young warrior messiah, Paul Atreides (Kyle MacLachlan), to lead the native inhabitants in an uprising against the evil empire--and battle the giant man-eating worms that guard the coveted spice.<BR>Lynch shot much more footage than ended up in the finished film, but executive producer Dino De Laurentiis didn't want a three-hour-plus sci-fi epic on his hands, so he coerced Lynch into trimming it. The result is one of cinema's most infamous cases of personal vision colliding with studio politics. Nonetheless, Lynch still manages to cram in so many visual ideas and captures the tone of the book so well that these production issues can be easily set aside once the story starts rolling. Refusing to further edit the film for television, Lynch took his name off the director and screenwriter credits. As troubling as DUNE might have been for Lynch, the experience greatly inspired 1986's brilliant BLUE VELVET, for which audiences should be thankful.

  • Highly enjoyable !

    This is a very good transfer to this medium. The unique visual style of this movie together with its interplanetary locations lends itself well to the hd picture quality. So if you enjoyed the dvd then is worth tracking down this blu ray version for a more altogether cinematic experience. Money well spent, spend a quiet night in and enjoy a classic.

  • Dune 1984

    Good film that I have wanted for many years. Unfortunately my Blu Ray version of the film had some corruption to some of the sectors on the disc, which spoiled the viewing experience for me , despite this the film is in some ways better the the two recent updates of the film.

  • David Lynch’s Dune

    I read the book in my late teens. Enjoyed this movie when it was released but felt it lost so much of the book’s storyline. This purchase is an opportunity to revisit this version. Looking forward to Denis Villeneuve’s Dune, sadly now delayed 12 months due to COVID

  • Original Dune

    It's a very good interpretation and more complete than the recent film. I'm not saying that it's better but it does tell more of the story and I like it for that. I have both and enjoy them each for what they are and regard this as a necessary addition to my collection.

  • Dark brilliant unique

    It's a great interpretation of the book by Frank Herbert. Personally I think you would get a hell of a lot mire from the film if you read the ground-breaking book.
