Arrow Video brings David Lynch’s take on Frank Herbert’s Dune to 4K UHD Blu-ray in the aspect ratio of 2.35:1 on a triple-layer UHD disc. The presentation has been encoded at 2160p/24hz with Dolby Vision and is sourced from a new 4K restoration performed by Koch Films and scanned from the 35mm original camera negative. Arrow only includes a 4K presentation. There is no 1080p presentation.

Dune's massive visuals are paired perfectly with what can only be described as a purely enveloping sound field, one that places viewers Though I can’t speak as to the galleries on Universal’s previous releases (they could sometimes be large themselves) all of this material is, again, mostly recycled from Universal’s previous releases.This leads me to another impressive aspect of this presentation. Admittedly I haven’t seen the film in maybe a couple of decades (and I haven’t seen the Extended Version, which isn’t available on this edition) but from my vague recollection I swear the optical effects look better here. To be clear, I don’t think they’ve been digitally touched up or altered, but I feel, at the very least, the contrast has been adjusted. I swear the optical effects really stood out in this film thanks to the varying contrast of the layers, but that’s actually not much of an issue here, the seams only slightly showing. I could be wrong, and please ignore if you know better, but I really felt the optical shots looked better. female.

The imagery is subtle with earthy tones and tiny details that stand out in 4k. The combination of Hans Zimmer’s music score and Theo Green’s sound design provide a great listening experience on any system, but is best heard with a low-frequency speaker combined with multiple speakers for surround sound effects.

Where each character can have a defining moment, nothing is left open, and all have their chance to shine.
