    UHD Review Dune (Limited Edition) – UHD Blu-ray Review

    I didn't say it wasn't better, just that I don't think it's as massive an improvement as you do. Especially not during real playback. Sorry. As to the details on the robe and the throne, the same difference is evident comparing Arrow's own Blu-ray from the same master to the UHD disc it's...

    UHD Review Dune (Limited Edition) – UHD Blu-ray Review

    I'm not seeing a massive difference. Even in those screengrabs, it's a pretty modest improvement in detail in most shots, with more prominent grain.

    UHD Review Dune (Limited Edition) – UHD Blu-ray Review

    I think you misremember the Universal disc. Here are some comparison shots (Blu-ray to Blu-ray, I can't do UHD screenshots). I may not have hit the exact same frame in all of these. The time codes of the two copies are slightly different for some reason. Universal: Arrow: Universal...

    Yeah, Raphaella De Laurentiis ordered Lynch to stand down and stop filming entire storylines that had been scripted. The book has a subplot about a Fremen named Jamis who challenges Paul to a duel and loses. That scene was filmed and can be found in the MCA-TV cut, but the rest of the storyline...

    UHD Review Dune (Limited Edition) – UHD Blu-ray Review

    Universal tried to get Lynch to put together a director's cut or at least contribute to bonus features for the movie at other points as well. In the late '90s, the studio planned to release a deluxe Signature Collection edition of the film on Laserdisc. But Lynch wouldn't return anyone's phone...

    UHD Review Dune (Limited Edition) – UHD Blu-ray Review

    Lynch was approached to direct Return of the Jedi (then still known as "Revenge of the Jedi"), not Empire Strikes Back.
