David Lynch's DUNE is an interesting cinematic vision with a great cast, excellent costume and production design, a great score by Toto, and some interesting ideas. Unfortunately the theatrical version is a compromised compressed version of DUNE while the extended TV cut is an editing nightmare that over explains things and puts shots out of context and get the editing order wrong. I have watched this movie several times over the years whether it was on TV, VHS, or blu-ray. I do wish David lynch would go back to edit a proper director's cut which he has been reluctant to do (but recent comments does give a small hope he would be willing to do it). David Lynch was the first director who was able to direct the acclaimed Frank Herbert sci-fi novel with a few changes from the book and having to fit the movie within a certain running time per Universal Studios management at the time.

SPECIAL FEATURES:
DISC ONE-
Theatrical trailer

DISC TWO-
Audio commentary by Max Evry, author of Masterpiece in Disarray: David Lynch's Dune- An Oral History. It is a great and very insightful track on the movie and the book is worth a read by any diehard fan of this movie.

DISC THREE-
THE SLEEPER MUST AWAKEN: MAKING DUNE- extended version of the documentary focusing on the making of DUNE. The original version was released on the german release of DUNE (1984) by Koch Media in 2021 in addition to the following two featurettes
BEYOND IMAGINATION: MERCHANDISING- a look at the various merchandise created for the movie
PROPHECY FULLFILLED: SCORING DUNE- featurette on the films music with TOTO and music historian Tim Greiving

DESTINATION DUNE- a vintage featurette produced for the release of the movie
IMPRESSIONS OF DUNE- a 2001 making-of documentary on making Dune
Interview with production coordinator

DESIGNING DUNE- a 2005 featurette about the work of production designer Anthony Masters
DUNE FX- a 2005 featurette on the film's effects
DUNE MODELS AND MINATURES- a featurette about the film's model effects which are still impressive to this day

DUNE COSTUMES- a 2005 featurette on the costume designs of DUNE
Interview with actor Paul Smith (Duncan Idaho)
Interview with make-up effects artist Christopher Tucker
Deleted and extended scenes with introduction by producer Raffaella de Laurentis
Newly uncovered deleted scene with intro by actress Molly Wryn

The three disc set comes in a lenticular hard case and it also includes six art cards.

FINAL ANALYSIS: This there disc limited edition set is the ultimate blu-ray set on David Lynch’s Dune minus the Spicediver fan edit (which gets the extended version right according to the script).
