Negative Positive
Title: Wait for the director's cut
Review: This release is a bit disappointing on a few counts. Despite the claims on the 'Technical Info' page that this DVD is anamorphic, it is not. Also, the audio hasn't been remixed to be 5.1 surround; it's only Dolby 2.0. Finally, the disc is lacking extra footage that was cut from the US TV version of the mini-series to accomodate commercial breaks, rumored to be about 20 minutes of additional material.Supposedly, this "Director's Cut" version of the Dune mini-series is owned by a German company who wanted quite a bit of money for its' use in the U.S. According to the series' production company, New Amsterdam Entertainment, it is quite likely that a "Collectors Edition" of Dune will be released at some point in the future with the longer version of the series and a 5.1 soundtrack. I don't want to buy the same disc twice; I'll wait for the Collector's Edition.
Is the review positive or negative?
