To all the haters though I would say this - there are scenes in Dune (top of my head - the navigator sequence) which are just unlike any other sci-fi film past or present.

Its too much to hope for a 4K release but I would love Arrow to get this and do the best they can with it and a Waterworld type release would be great. I'd be first in line (after you most probably! )

The extended cut is definitely worth it if you're a fan. Not for the uninitiated though...
I just hate that Lynch has disowned it, but there's no undoing that. De Laurentis and Universal should be ashamed of making him cut and recut.

This really needs a new 4K scan if Universal decides to do a UHD. The current BDs and HD DVD use the 2K DI that was struck in 2005 for the 2006 DVD Steelbook. With a new 4K DI and HDR this could look downright gorgeous.
