[@justinhughees]

[@alexmueller828]

Though the movie was shot in IMAX, the IMAX cropping is not the "director's intended/definitive version" by any means. The standard aspect ratio is still going to look gorgeous. That is how I saw it in theaters and was not disappointed. The IMAX experience is not even going to be transferrable at home. In the IMAX theater, a lot is empty space in your periphery and not even able to be focused on.

[@cpt.zangscarlet1898]

@@alexmueller828 All I'm asking for is more image dude, Even Villeneuve said in an interview he was under the impression we were getting expanded ratio for home viewing. I agree it will look great either way, but why would I want less image for those gorgeous shots? I hope you realize I'm not asking for 1.43, just a formatting of the 1.90 ratio, same as for movies such as Tenet, Oppenheimer, etc

[@curtisbme]

@5:53 - All the special features are less than 6GB so they aren't really taking up much space if it is a 100GB disc.

[@tigerblue42]

That's good to know, thanks. I have heard that the 4K Kaleidescape version is 89.3GB whereas the version on this 4K is only 70Gb, that seems very strange to me. I had assumed that the special features must be taking up 25GB or something but if you're saying only 6GB then it's even more confusing that the file sizes are so different. So far all the reviews on this 4K's video and audio quality are excellent regardless but it is strange.

[@curtisbme]

@@tigerblue42 I don't have any insight into the process here but having known how some other professional encodes go, there are some targets they might be hitting for other purposes, like allowing for a at-the-time undetermined amount of extras and languages in different markets. Of course there is also the fact that at some point more doesn't equal better, at least not in any human perceptible way. Though I don't know why the Kaleidescape version encode would have been made to have 'more' unless they have some deal that they need a version that is bigger than the disc to help with perceived value of the service. All speculation of course. Reality is we will never know why they do these specific things. If anything, I'm more disappointed by the extras. There aren't many and they are only slightly above EPK. It is a series that deserves almost LOTR level documentation into all the aspects of creating it.

The correct answer unless you have money to burn is none of them. You're getting no expanded IMAX image and pathetic special features. Hold out for WB to release proper editions like they did for BLADE RUNNER, GAME OF THRONES and LORD OF THE RINGS extended.

8 of the behind the scenes featturetes are not on the 4K disc or blu-ray. You have to keep the digital code in order to watch those missing 8 behind the scenes from the disc. Which sucks. They should just make a bonus disc for the special features only and put in on the dvd, blu-ray and 4K disc packaging. Plus no IMAX option for the movie.

I can’t remember the last time I put on a DVD, don’t really care if they stop packing em in the 4k releases as along as I’m getting the format I’m Paying for and a digital code is always nice

[@MsMarco6]

why oh why is the Imax version not being released, they did the same thing with Part 1 and it's infuriating. I paid a bunch of money to go to central London for a weekend just to see the 70mm print at the BFI Imax. A great experience for sure but I honestly only did it because I knew it'd be my only chance to see the film in it's full aspect ration glory. Not every scene fills the Imax screen, but they're all tall enough to fill a 16:9 display so why not release it like that. I'm so fed up of films being released at home with letterboxing when there's no reason. Clearly Dennis didn't have an issue with the framing otherwise he wouldn't have released an Imax version in the first place. It's so disappointing, the Imax version is spectacular and it's such a shame I may never get to see it again.

[@peccamecha]

went to see the movie in theaters 4 times in one month in multiple formats, the last being the 70mm 1.43:1 full frame and it was almost like seeing the movie for the first time again. While I understnad why they wouldn't release this version, I can still attest that the taller frame makes a big difference, especially in close-ups and wide landscape shots. I've nearly spent 100 bucks on this movie at theaters but refuse to pay for a home release that's far from the complete movie. I agree that it's so frustrating to see black bars on my TV at home when I know there's image to fill those bars, and it's excluded for no discernable reason.

[@MsMarco6]

@@peccamecha Exactly. I'm not saying releasing in 1.43 was the right move, changing aspect ratios can be annoying. But why wouldn't you release it in 1.90. The entire film was shot with atleast that ratio and if the framing was good enough for the smaller IMAX theatres why is it suddenly such an issue. Honestly Directors need to get over their attachment to scope. It's not like your getting any extra horizontal image because they're just cropping the top & bottom. It's not like they have some great vision that requires 2.35. They do it because previous directors did & theatres have screens setup that way. But nowadays A movie will be on Tv's for 1000x longer than it's in theatres, why would you make that the compromised experience. And b4 anyone says 1.85 is less cinematic in consumers minds, that hasn't been true since the golden age of Tv started 15yrs ago. And if it was most Imax theatres wouldn't be using a similar ratio, no one accuses them of feeling like a TV show.

[@rodrammer3999]

Dont worry, you will get to see it, you'll just have to pay again for a movie you already own when they release the IMAX edition.

[@moo8698]

Long story short, because you don't have an imax cinema at home - it means that imax is not simply an aspect ratio (which in imax's case is not a set aspect ratio - I know what you were thinking but you need to phrase it differently). What makes the movie good is not it's aspect ratio. You could watch it in 4:3 and it would still be a good movie. What makes you think otherwise is the amount of marketing you see. This is the reason why regular cinemas were half empty when imax was booked full (atleast around here.) Watching at home with a different aspect ratio or even in cinema won't make a difference. You see the difference side by side. Or you may notice it on various films when the f. up. Otherwise, you don't lose anything with a proper blu ray release, but you may gain! When the guy says taller is more cinematic.. I say it is subjective or the guy is simply hyped. It's not the aspect ratio that makes a movie cinematic or good, etc. Let's agree on that we all (hopefully) liked the movie :) I don't think the guy in the video is right. I don't think the movie's price is expensive. I'd pay a lot more for it. And you can be sure I'll enjoy it in my home cinema more than I did it in the cinema because I got better sound system. (Sound sucks around here in cinema. Too loud, you can hear distortion..) Imo, they should give instructions to cinemas how to properly screen a movie.

[@MsMarco6]

@@moo8698 I'm sorry but you absolutely are losing something by chopping off the top & bottom of the frame. The point I was making was that the film was shot in (atleast) 1.90. The only reason it was ever shown in 2.35 is because that's the aspect ratio of most none Imax cinemas. There is no benefit at all to chopping off chunks of the image. My point isn't that 1.43, 1.90 or 2.35 are any more cinematic, my point is that the best aspect ratio is the one that fills the most of the screen. And clearly the filmmakers agree otherwise they wouldn't have shown the film in different aspect ratios in different theatres. So I think we're pretty justified to be upset that they're throwing away a third of the picture for a completely arbitrary reason. I did love the movie and that's a big part of what annoys me about this. Because the Imax presentation was genuinely better and now no matter how good my home system get's I'll never be able to recreate the film at it's best.

[@silentdisguise8476]

Buying none, holding out for Imax version of part 1 & 2. Hopefully Denis will pressure WB into releasing them.

[@tigerblue42]

I like the 4K slip art myself (although I totally agree that including the very minor character in the middle is stupid and shouldn't be on the cover at all). I hate the fact that the Blu-ray is not included with the 4K, that may well be a "deal-breaker" for me (at full price). If they had used the entire 100GB 4K disk for the movie, included the Blu-ray with the movie and special features then I would snap this up at full price without a second thought.

Loved Dune part 2. I'm a steelbook fan so I preordered it immediately back on March 3rd (to go with my part 1 steelbook). Had no idea it's sold out. You should've done the same. You can always cancel if you wind up wanting something else. I do it all the time. Then again, I bet they'll have a "second wave" of availability eventually.

[@Tomhyde098]

I preordered the Steelbook the day it was available. I’m not a big steelbook fan either, I just wanted both discs. Sorry steelbook fans! I order Paramount steelbooks too because they are doing the same thing as WB and not including both discs in the standard releases.

[@Jumpman67]

I have never used the bluray version that comes with a 4k. I don't think people care as much about the dual pack as you think.

[@curtisbme]

Agreed. The only reason to include the different versions is during transitional periods where folks might still have some older players. No point anymore for DVD's with BR or BR with UHD. Only exception would be UHD when they don't have extras on the UHD but do on the BR.
