Dune (1984) The Alternative Edition Redux | 480p Edition

I've been a fan of Lynch's Dune my whole life. I can remember seeing commercials for it when it was first released and being totally taken with the visuals. I was too young to see it in theatres sadly, but a few years later I finally saw it on video. A strange, wonderful, creepy and somehow unbalanced film. Years after I first saw the film I finally read the book and came to understand how far the film had diverged from the source material.

SpiceDiver's edit is nothing short of revelatory. The new book structure, the incorporation of extended and deleted scenes bring the film more in line with the book. I loved it. As a fan of both the original film and the novel I have no hesitation in saying that that this is now my definitive version of the film. SpiceDiver has turned Dune from a cinematic oddity and turned it into a film worthy to carry the title Dune.

I have always liked dune since I first watched it. This edit rekindled my love for this movie.

This is easily the best version of the film, Spicediver's edit ist masterfully done. It exceeds previous cuts of this film as well as the '21 film. The ending gave me chills and is by far better than the original.

I am a fan of dune and i liked the movie but the original movie editing was a little akward and i am not saying this the artistic way :) , here if you see the changelog you will understand why this is the best dune edit.

No more very happy ending, most internal dialog removed (i must say that i like the original idea but doesnt seem to work right in this movie), deleted scenes are back where they belong, the quality isnt on par with the rest of the film but its alright, the story must flow and the most cheesiness is gone.

It's a quality release with custom subtitles and thats a plus too, i recommend this edit to any sci fi fan , for me this is the edition of the movie i would see and enjoy with friends or by myself.

Hi Spicediver, I've saw many edits and versions of Dune and i must say yours is quite good =)

I wish to pinpoint the following:
- Because you've used deleted scenes, extras, there were a few details of continuity, for once one that comes to mind is when Paul fights that Fremen warrior and gets injured and is dirty and in the next scene he is ok.
- I would loved to have seen more of the final battle.

Great job though =)
