Dune: Part Two (4K Ultra HD)

An incredible film, worth owning on disc.

I had already seen Dune: Part Two before purchasing this set, and I knew it was a film I had to own in my collection. It arrived in perfect condition, and after watching it again in the comfort of my home, I still loved it. I've seen plenty of movies in my life, but this one was one of the rare few that truly blew me away, even as the end credits were rolling. The visuals are stunning, the sound is intense and immersive, and you can feel every character’s emotion throughout the movie. While many felt that the first film was a bit slow, Part Two makes up for that and ramps up both the story and the action. By the time the credits rolled, I was just sitting there, hit with that rare feeling of both satisfaction and anticipation. Dune: Part Two isn’t just a great sci-fi film; it’s one of the best cinematic experiences I’ve ever had.

Dune 2 is truly an epic movie experience. This is incredible storytelling where narrative and character development are the focus with a subtle theme of the relationship between religion and politics. Dune 2 is visually stunning with incredible sound; Dune 2 has a lot of bass and I approve. Highly recommend the 4k blue ray to demo your home theater. As good as an entertainment this movie is, there were a couple of things I didn't like. The runtime is ridiculously long (thank you Zack Snyder). Even though it was long, the movie never felt tedious because of the steady pacing. I can't imagine sitting straight through in a movie theater so I'm glad I purchased the 4k blue ray. The other thing I didn't like is that it seems this movie just decided to cast every current "it" young actor it could find. The casting appearances almost detracts from the story. This is epic science-fiction fantasy at its best. I can't wait for the next episode.

First of all the great visual effects. The acting was convincing as well, but the immersive sense of that place, the desert of Arrakis, was fantastic. This second film of (at this point it looks like three, but it could be more) takes it's time in telling the story, while the earlier versions of DUNE skipped quickly where they had a short time to tell the story due to the restrictions of time in theaters (and space on VHS tapes.) It was never even attempted before, but mounting and riding the giant sand worms will give you chills and thrills, as if you're there! Wear your goggles! Jump quickly! (The book by Frank Herbert was very thick even in paperback, but there's no way it could do that.) I read it in monthly installments on Analog, the SF Magazine, and I couldn't wait for the next issue to arrive. I think it took a couple of years to read the whole of it. So this isn't so bad, to revisit the story in Volume 1 and 2 while the 3rd and possibly 4th are in production. This completed film will be the best film version of DUNE ever made.

I believe this movie is good as can be in 2D, but I cannot believe they still want to push cost effective HDR over 3D, part 1 in 3D made a difference. Show was too long in 1 part so breaking it up made sense. Good acting throughout.

Along with Dune Part1 it's a great movie despite being a remake.

I've got copies of all the Dune movies released on disc, so far. As a general rule, if you have not read the books (or talked a lot to people, or done other study) the movies are impossible to follow. Or, at the very least, you won't know how what you are seeing fits into a MUCH larger picture. Part of this is due to the general inability of movies to capture the depth, breadth, subtlety, history, context, side elements, etc. of books. Books often have "narration" explaining the situations/context/circumstances, and the internal thoughts and feelings of characters. Movies tend to include only the most superficial plot elements, and over emphasize the parts that include action. I can very easily imagine people liking the movies, and not having a clue how much is glossed over or completely missing. Mentats, for example. There are 30 (or is it 23?) Dune books. The first 6 were written by Frank Herbert. The rest are written by his son Brian with help from Kevin J. Anderson. Almost everyone (to my knowledge) agree the first 6 are "better". The rest purportedly lack the same "creative genius", mostly expanding details of established plot elements, but are considered worth the read. All-in-all, Dune is considered (by many) to be, the best example of "world building" story telling, ever, bar none (Star Trek, Star Wars, etc.; Even Hobbits/Rings), for scale, scope, depth, complexity, subtly, grandeur, vision etc. Volume one is 592 pages. The 1984 Lynch film covers book one. The director took "serious" liberties with a major plot element ("the weirding way", leaving out some things, and inventing others.). I did read numerous commentaries about the the 84 film, before seeing it. I was able to tell where in the narrative the movie was, but that is the most I can say. Much later (after seeing the BBC versions) I became aware of, and watched, the (even less well known) "Spice Driver Fan Edit" version of the (not well known) extended version of the 1984 movie. The Fan Edit rendition is a BIG improvement over the 1984 film. But, to be fair, by this time I knew a lot more about the "big picture" of the story, so I could better "appreciate" what I was seeing. The 2000 BBC mini-series, being longer, did more-and-better justice to the story. (IMHO, BBC consistently does "a good job"). The 2003 BBC mini-series, (same cast with one exception) also being longer, also did commendable justice to the story. Together these cover books one and three but still left a lot out. By the time I saw these (years after their release), I knew enough to appreciate this rendition. I get the feeling that the "theme" of book 2 is generally included in both the Lynch and BBC screen renditions. The 2021 and 2024 Villeneuve films together cover book one. These films are more visually striking that earlier efforts. WOW! The scope and scale of things can be incredible. And having 2 movies to work with (more time), they did a better justice to the "entire" story of volume one (but still left a lot out). The anticipated 3rd film is purported to address book 2. Now (Dec 2024) HBO is doing a 6 episode TV series of based on the 17th book, which is set 10,000 years from now and 10,000 years before the story lines of the other movies. Again, monumental scope. When eventually available, I'll get these on disc. But, for me, this is the least "wow" of all the screen renditions. I never actually read the books (reading learning disability). Having done a lot of reading of synopses and commentaries, talked to many other fans, and having seen every screen version more than once, I now have a much better idea of the "bigger picture". And can, therefore, appreciate all the films (needing/making allowance for Lynch's liberties). If I ever become a trillionaire, I'll make the entire story using as many movies/episodes are are required to make the movie-equivalent of an unabridged version of the story.

Watched the first one and was blown away. Maybe my new favorite modern sci-fi flick.

Dune 2 Bluray is great quality 🤩👌🏻must watch

Queria muito ter Duna na coleção, mas estou esperando por um Box em 4k com os três filmes. Enquanto o final da trilogia não chega, comprei em DVD mesmo as partes 1 e 2. Gostei da arte da capa e o filme tem um conteúdo bônus. Não tem legenda nem áudio em português, mas funcionou nos meus aparelhos de BD da LG e da Samsung. Quanto ao filme, é sem palavras. Ficção científica impecável. Minha única crítica a essa edição é quanto a embalagem, que é tão frágil que não suportou o trajeto de entrega e tive que troca a capinha do DVD.

This is a fantastic movie, but if you’re purchasing it for the digital copy, be aware that it won’t work in Canada. Movie studios no longer allow digital codes to be redeemed outside the U.S. region. Buyer beware.

Soy fan del director Denis Villeneuve y cuando supe que Warner Brothers había restaurado en formato 4K Ultra HD, el clásico del 2024 "Dune: Part Two" ó "Duna: Parte Dos", la compré de inmediato. Se ve espectacular, mejor que nunca, con una calidad de imagen fuera de serie. Llegó rápido y en perfectas condiciones, y la encontré en oferta por el Prime Day 2024! Lo mejor es que si trae el Slipcover de colección.

Tiene un sonido increíble (con une home theater o un una buena barra de sonido)
