Dune 2-Film Collection (DVD)

He’ll good awesome good quality

Great Movie. Delivered on time.

This digital collection gives you both Dune films without needing to store another plastic case or worry about discs mysteriously getting scratched even though “no one touched them.” The picture and sound quality are great, and the digital format means you can watch it on pretty much anything without hunting for a DVD player like it’s 2008. Pros: Both films in one digital bundle Great picture and audio quality No discs to lose, scratch, or pretend your kids didn’t break Easy to watch on multiple devices Cons: No bonus features or extras Digital libraries can get chaotic if you’re not organized Still a lot of sand, emotionally speaking Overall: Overall, it’s a clean, convenient way to own both Dune films without adding clutter. Perfect for fans, collectors, or anyone who wants to rewatch without dealing with physical media. I’ll update if the digital copy glitches or disappears into the streaming void.

Very well done, but not true to the book. The acting, surroundings, and filming is well done. I didn’t like the divergence from the book in the relationship of Chani and Paul. I also didn’t like the way in the movie, Paul chose more death and vengeance than in the book.

Love the Dune series. Having read the first 3 books multiple times I was concerned the movie could not do the story justice. Of course, the epic in the books say so much more but these movies are very enjoyable.

4.5 stars (Review of Dune Parts 1 and 2) When I read DUNE in the 70s, I loved the book! Beautiful characterizations, dense and richly detailed. I remember thinking that no one should ever try to make it into a movie. Particularly with so much subtext and internal dialog, squeezing everything into such a visual medium -successfully- would be next to impossible. The earlier movie attempts did not give me reason to change my mind. But three seems like it is the charm. The third attempted remake by Denis Villeneuve nails the essence of the main story and themes, and the cast nails the characters so well that I (almost) don’t miss what is missing from the book. Of course, purists will notice that there are departures from the book, but the changes still felt true to the book’s spirit. DUNE and DUNE Part 2 together tell the story of Paul Atreides, House Atreides and the events of the first book of Frank Herbert’s DUNE trilogy. Both movies are visually beautiful. They really do deserve to be seen on a theater screen. The interior sets are dark and grand and create the perfect atmosphere for the story to play out. The desert vistas are mesmerizing. (I love the sandrider sequences!) I cannot picture a better cast. DUNE Part 1 introduces the Great House of the Atreides family. A young Paul Atreides is the only son and heir. Commanded by the Emperor, House Atreides has no choice but to relocate to, and assume rule over the planet, Dune (AKA Arrakis), from the current ruling Great House and rival, the Harkonnen family. Dune is the Empire’s sole source of a vital and valuable spice substance. Of course, interference, treachery and betrayal from many directions ensues. Amidst maneuvering by the Emperor, the Houses, and a powerful, secretive sect called the Bene Gesserit, the Atreides family struggles to survive. DUNE Part 2 picks up immediately where the first movie ends with House Atreides apparently wiped out by treachery. Paul and his Bene Gesserit mother, Jessica, have survived and escaped to the desert and an uncertain future with the wary band of indigenous Fremen. The story’s focus expands from the political maneuverings of Padishah Emperor, the Great Houses, the Bene Gesserit, to reveal more of the indigenous people of Arrakis (Dune) with their customs, way of life and their own factions making a bid for their planet and their future. Meanwhile, Paul is making a transition from young son of a great house and outworlder, to acceptance and leader among Dune’s Fremen, and on the precipice of becoming a religious figure based on prophecies planted long ago by the Bene Gesserit. He is also increasingly drawn to a young Fremen woman, Chani. Movie-Chani’s character is actually an improvement over book-Chani. Her character has been filled out (as opposed to rewritten) and I like it. Frank Herbert, like most science fiction writers of that era, could write brilliant stories, create imaginative alien worlds and lifeforms…. but most couldn’t for the life of them write a decent female character. Without turning her into a superwoman, Villeneuve made her real and authentic to her world. Frankly, I feel the movie ending surpasses the book in the honesty and the emotional impact of Chani and Paul at a painful crossroads instead of the book’s pat, stand by her man ending. I held my breath when the first movie was announced, fearing the worst, and went from pleasant surprise to real enjoyment. When the second was announced, I held my breath, fearing that it might suffer the same problems that the vast majority of sequels fall victim to, but was quickly and happily engrossed. DUNE Parts 1 and 2 are science fiction at its best; rich, engrossing characters that don’t get lost in the intrigue, sweeping drama and adventure. I would strongly recommend, whether or not you’ve read the book.

All good

Excellent collection of the two movies (newer versions). the case they come in is garbage but i personally dont use cases. i put them in sleeves and vault cases.
