西暦10191年、宇宙は皇帝シャダム4世の支配下にあった。惑星アラキスは、不老不死の薬物メランジが生産される唯一の星であり、その覇権をめぐって皇帝は陰謀を画策していた。それを察知したスペース・ギルドのナビゲイターは、皇帝のもとを訪れ詰問する。皇帝は、声をを増幅させて物質を破壊する兵器“モジュール"を開発したレト・アトレイデス公爵をうとましく思い、一旦彼にアラキスを与えたうえで、公爵と敵対するハルコネン男爵をけしかけて失脚させようとしていた。だがナビゲイターは、公爵の息子ポール・アトレイデスこそが、自分たちを脅かす存在だと言い、暗殺を命じる。
アラキスに降り立った公爵家は、ハルコネン男爵が手配した軍団から襲撃を受け、母ジェシカとともに砂漠へと逃亡する。二人はアラキスの原住民であるフレーメンの集団に合流し、モジュールを与えて一大軍団を組織する。巨大なサンドウォーム(砂虫)を操り、ポールはハルコネン男爵の軍を次々と壊滅してゆく。やがてフレーメンに伝わる“命の水"を飲んで超人化したポールは、皇帝に最後の闘いを挑む。

It's a beauty!!

Now just need to know if it has same/better PQ, same AQ and how/if the other languages besides english is handled on screen with subs.

McCrutchy · 04-09-2015, 10:20 PM

The standard box set (without post cards) has just gone up at Amazon:

wesslan · 04-10-2015, 06:58 AM

Wow even more expensive? No logic....

DMRI2006 · 04-10-2015, 04:38 PM

Looks promising, but I'll hold off until I find out it's a better transfer than the most current Studio Canal international release, which has blown out brightness and washed out color. Not nearly as good as even Universal's US release.

Raif79 · 05-18-2015, 05:27 PM

What are the chances of the extended TV cut being on blu ray? I'll be disappointed if it ends up in SD on a DVD, in this set. At the price the set is going for, I'm crossing my fingers.

Dubstar · 10-10-2015, 08:42 PM

does anyone have this? thoughts on the PQ/AQ ??

I do. I have this and the US Universal edition. I haven't had a chance to watch the Japanese disk all the way through, but I've watched the first 10 minutes or so and both look similar in terms of colour and contrast. I think the Japanese disk has slightly better compression (comparing freeze frames), but not a massive difference in motion.

I can take some screenshots with vlc if you want.

I can't really comment on audio as my setup isn't great.

I scanned the first bit of the disk 1:

Wow that bitrate will surely do wonders for the compression on such a long movie. Would love some screencomparions JP vs US.

So there is no english hardcoded subs where there need to be on JP disc?

So there is no english hardcoded subs where there need to be on JP disc?

TBH I don't know. I still haven't had a chance to sit down and watch it all the way through. If there's a particular time to check let me know and I'll have a look.

OK. I'll try to post something this evening.

Okay, sorry about the delay! Here are some screencaps of the Japanese and US blu-rays. These were captures taken using vlc and I didn't have time to match captures exactly, so there's plenty of salt required!

As you can see there are no night-and-day differences between the two. Personally, I think the JP disk just wins it, but not by much.

DMRI2006 Blu-ray Ninja Top contributor Member since:Apr 2009 Blu-ray reviews:1 Trading Score:215	Looks promising, but I'll hold off until I find out it's a better transfer than the most current Studio Canal international release, which has blown out brightness and washed out color. Not nearly as good as even Universal's US release.
