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

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 =)

This is my first Fan Edit review, I first saw Dune on Cable way back when, I loved it so much I read the book, and love it even more. I then watched the extended version on import Laser Disc and thought that cut was even better but, it was scanned and the effects unfinished. I recently found out about fan edits and i'm hooked. I own over 6000 pre-recorded DVDs and Blu-ray-ray and a few hundred laser disc. I must say as to this version it blows every other version away. I can't believe the time and effort put in to it. The finished effects of the blue eyes makes the movie feel seamless. This is one of my favorite fan edits of any film and is what Universal should of done. Thanks for this wonderful edit.

This is the definative and best version I have seen! The quality is immaculate, all deleted and extended scenes have been cleaned up and reintegrated seamlessly as if they had never been cut.
It is higher quality than the dvd copy I own!

In particular, what makes this release special, is the way it has been edited into "chapters". This breaks the film up in much the same way a series of novels do, making it much more accesable to new viewers, and I feel much more enjoyable to long time fans. you can watch the first 50 minute chapter, come back to it another day and picking up where you left off feels natural without the jarring experience of stopping and starting a regular film midway. It paces the story and the viewers approach much more similarly to the books, and if this was the edition that was released in the cinema, I think it would have had a much greater reception and been much more popular with the public.

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.
