Title: Aspect ratio comparison . . .
Review: Just to add this bit of information; the Dune "Extended Edition" DVD spoken of here is a true widescreen version - after the Introduction at the beginning of the film. I compared a VHS recording of a Sci-Fi channel broadcast to this DVD. My hopes wained at the beginning; the Introduction montage does simply have black bars thrown up over top of the 4:3 image to give the impression of widescreen. Immediately following the Introduction, however, though the bars stay the same proportion of the screen, the viewable area IS extended. (Yay for a real widescreen version!). So, whether or not you like this version, the DVD provides something I've never seen before, certainly not on DVD.Hope this helps!!
