    All the Dune movies

    I have just recently seen children of Dune and I gotta say that the original movie, the made for TV Dune, and Children of Dune, are probably the BEST sci fi world I have ever seen

    I gotta admit I don't like Star Wars and so many others because they lack realism and although sci fi isn't supposed to be real Dune seems like a possible future, the books are even better and the whole world is simply a masterpiece

    How do you feel about it?

    I loved both miniseries. They are the reason I went to the library and borrowed the entire Dune anthology and the 4 prequels. I'm still waiting for the next couple books.

    It's odd to me that most people seem to really like the version that they watch first. Whether it's the old David Lynch version of the movie, or the Miniseries.

    The Dune series has been said to be Sci-Fi's answer to Fantasy's Lord of the Rings. Seems a bit presumptuous, I know, but the Dune world really is very complex. Too complex for any movie, or even 6-hour miniseries. So we just have to rely on the directors to give us their take on the most important aspects.

    Here's a teaser for Children of Dune. I'm sure it's here in the forums somewhere, but I'll post it in case you're lazy

    If you can stay calm, while all around you is chaos...then you probably haven't completely understood the seriousness of the situation.

    Just got the Directors Cut Special Edition of the first mini and the first DVD of Children of Dune (will get SE when available) and I have been a Dune fan for several years. Ask me anything about the first 3 novels and I can answer it hehe.

    Dune is and most likely will always remain my favorite scifi.

    any idea when the COD special edition will come out? I'm waiting for it.

    Actually, I'm not entirely sure what the difference is between regular editions and special editions. My DVD collection consists of about 5 movies.

    I'm told that the SE for the first miniseries has some never-before-seen footage. Is that what makes it "special"?

    The SE of the first has 30 mins of footage not seen in the US TV version, as well lots of docos about the film.

    The SE of COD will feature bonus materials over a 3 disk set, but will most likely have no new footage.
