Dune / Children of Dune Collection - 5-DVD Set

This movie is great and goes into more detail covering the Second and third books. I really enjoyed watching this movie and recommend it for those who are true Dune fans.

These series are my favorite interpretation of the Dune and Children of Dune. I gave away my copies of these DVDs to a charity when we moved into a new home. Then I decided I had made a mistake. I looked for the series on streaming video and could not find it. So, I purchased another set.

Not as flashy with the special affects as the new Dune movies, but more accurately represent the story from the books.

Dune is an extensive series of books. Translating them to the screen presents a number of challenges.That out of the way, this collection of DVDs is an entertaining but not good adaption of the first three books. This series is worth watching if you've never seen it before. Personally, I would read the books first. But it is worthy of watching if you have not.It is fun to see some of the world come alive. The production is of limited quality but better than I would have expected for the SciFi channel. The acting is hit or miss. They understandably had to cut a lot out relative to the books. While I enjoyed some aspects of their interpretation, I found some of it cringy or boring. The negative aspects are most apparent in the latter parts of the series that cover Messiah and Children.Overall, I recommend it if you are interested in the world of Dune or are a diehard sci-fi fan. Otherwise, I would pass.

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!

I searched for a while for this. I was worried it wouldn't play in my Ps5 but it does. For being as old as it is I was worried it may be grainy but the quality was perfect. If you enjoy Dune this is the best version as it's close to the book. Also children of dune is included!

More informative than the Dune movies.

Never thought it be so sad

Thanks , great mini series.

Me gusta mucho la serie, pero considero que la calidad de video es muy similar a la del DVD. Si tiene el DVD creo que no vale mucho la pena. Si no lo tienes, comprala ya!

Thoroughly enjoyed watching this series..extremely well acted with some very familiar faces in the cast..it was true to the spirit of the original books..loved it..

excellent experience

Bought to replace my damaged DVDs. Picture quality is much better.Despite the age and budget for the special effects they don't look any less impressive than when I watched them on DVD.The only irritation is that I could "play all" episodes on disc 1 but not on disc 2. I don't understand the logic but it doesn't really spoil the experience much.
