Dune / Children of Dune Collection - 5-DVD Set

another re make of Dune but more detailed than others and some wonderful creative costumes. not shown on tv often but i enjoy it. so glad i found it

Good rendition of the books.

This is not the first version but the 2nd and the mini series but I love this version; great actors, great music! It was a little expensive for a DVD but it's worth it if you love the series! I couldn't find it streaming so it's worth it! : )

The story line, acting performances, etc. were already known to me from having seen both programs on TV years ago, and re-viewing Dune again on YouTube. The programs as sci-fi entertainment were already 5-star in my book, so this review has to do mainly with the product as purchased and received.Having seen reviews by people who had problems with the disks not working in U.S. players, I scanned thru every disk and found that they worked just fine, with excellent video and sound. Full marks there.I'm taking a half point off for the disks having been sent in a damaged box. This did not happen in shipping and handling; it was damaged before it was shrink-wrapped, and I'm going to have a hard time keeping it together. I'm also talking another half point off off for the lack of subtitles on "Dune" (they are present on "Children"). I'm a geezer, and subtitles are somewhat important to me.But all in all, I'm quite satisfied. It's a keeper. Now, if I could just find the long version of the original movie . . .

I've seen many film versions of Frank Herbert's book, and this is the most faithful depiction of the story. If you love the book, you need this set of discs.

Allow me to be the first to admit that I was mistaken in my First Review (shown below). After getting a New Blu Ray Player, these discs performed excellently. I was using an ancient "First Generation" Blu Ray Player that couldn't read the Newest Blu Ray Formatting. In the end, I HIGHLY recommend buying this set, if you are a Frank Herbert or Dune Fan. You will not be disappointed.This Blu Ray Disc freezes at multiple different times. The last time it froze (#3) an error message appeared that said "Disc Error, Not playable on this device". That was on Episode #2. Episode #1 played without an issue.

One of my favorite movies of all time and one of my favorite sci-fi movies of all time!!! The music, the story, the colors are all in my opinion magnificent. I have watched this movie so many times over and over again I cannot even count how many times. It’s my favorite go to movie when I want sci-fi different, it never gets boring and I find something new I’ve missed. I find it relaxing but not boring I love the colors that emanate from the screen and are also quite relaxing and being Christian I find the uniqueness of how it parallels Christianity in the stories of Jesus Christ set in the very far future. I for one appreciate the viewpoint of this author and portrayed within this movie the difference of what may have been 2000 years ago and what is now. Of course that goes against many peoples beliefs hopes and dreams. I bought this disk as a back up for my original which I will store way. Unfortunately I’ve only been able to find it on disk and have not been able to find it where I could download the stream. I find the three different versions of this movie interesting. I recently bought a novel so I can find out exactly what the author truly wrote compared to what is portrayed in the movies. But even then I’m not sure I really want to… Lol I have both sets of movies Dune and children of Dune both are excellent movies in my opinion. If you do purchases I hope you enjoy as much as I!

Happy to be able to watch in a High def. view. Excellent story telling of the source material.
