I've got copies of all the Dune movies released on disc, so far.
As a general rule, if you have not read the books (or talked a lot to people, or done other study) the movies are impossible to follow. Or, at the very least, you won't know how what you are seeing fits into a MUCH larger picture.
Part of this is due to the general inability of movies to capture the depth, breadth, subtlety, history, context, side elements, etc. of books. Books often have "narration" explaining the situations/context/circumstances, and the internal thoughts and feelings of characters. Movies tend to include only the most superficial plot elements, and over emphasize the parts that include action. I can very easily imagine people liking the movies, and not having a clue how much is glossed over or completely missing. Mentats, for example.
There are 30 (or is it 23?) Dune books. The first 6 were written by Frank Herbert. The rest are written by his son Brian with help from Kevin J. Anderson. Almost everyone (to my knowledge) agree the first 6 are "better". The rest purportedly lack the same "creative genius", mostly expanding details of established plot elements, but are considered worth the read.
All-in-all, Dune is considered (by many) to be, the best example of "world building" story telling, ever, bar none (Star Trek, Star Wars, etc.; Even Hobbits/Rings), for scale, scope, depth, complexity, subtly, grandeur, vision etc. Volume one is 592 pages.
The 1984 Lynch film covers book one. The director took "serious" liberties with a major plot element ("the weirding way", leaving out some things, and inventing others.). I did read numerous commentaries about the the 84 film, before seeing it. I was able to tell where in the narrative the movie was, but that is the most I can say.
Much later (after seeing the BBC versions) I became aware of, and watched, the (even less well known) "Spice Driver Fan Edit" version of the (not well known) extended version of the 1984 movie. The Fan Edit rendition is a BIG improvement over the 1984 film. But, to be fair, by this time I knew a lot more about the "big picture" of the story, so I could better "appreciate" what I was seeing.
The 2000 BBC mini-series, being longer, did more-and-better justice to the story. (IMHO, BBC consistently does "a good job").
The 2003 BBC mini-series, (same cast with one exception) also being longer, also did commendable justice to the story.
Together these cover books one and three but still left a lot out. By the time I saw these (years after their release), I knew enough to appreciate this rendition.
I get the feeling that the "theme" of book 2 is generally included in both the Lynch and BBC screen renditions.
The 2021 and 2024 Villeneuve films together cover book one. These films are more visually striking that earlier efforts. WOW! The scope and scale of things can be incredible. And having 2 movies to work with (more time), they did a better justice to the "entire" story of volume one (but still left a lot out). The anticipated 3rd film is purported to address book 2.
Now (Dec 2024) HBO is doing a 6 episode TV series of based on the 17th book, which is set 10,000 years from now and 10,000 years before the story lines of the other movies. Again, monumental scope. When eventually available, I'll get these on disc. But, for me, this is the least "wow" of all the screen renditions.
I never actually read the books (reading learning disability). Having done a lot of reading of synopses and commentaries, talked to many other fans, and having seen every screen version more than once, I now have a much better idea of the "bigger picture". And can, therefore, appreciate all the films (needing/making allowance for Lynch's liberties).
If I ever become a trillionaire, I'll make the entire story using as many movies/episodes are are required to make the movie-equivalent of an unabridged version of the story.

From the manufacturer
PAUL ATREIDES
The son of a Duke born into a destiny greater than his royal title. With his father dead, his mother on a journey of her own and Chani by his side, Paul must earn the respect of the skeptical local population, the Fremen, face his fears and, ultimately, face his most brutal enemies, in order to defend Arrakis and exact revenge upon the people who destroyed his family.
LADY JESSICA
A mother whose unbreakable bond with her son, Paul, helped them both survive Harkonnen attack and indoctrination into the Fremen, Lady Jessica must now begin her own spiritual and physical journey amidst the people of Dune. Drawing on every ounce of her strength, she takes on the mantle of Reverend Mother while awaiting the birth of a new child…one with whom she has already forged a deep connection.
GURNEY HALLECK
Once the trusted advisor of Duke Leto and Warmaster of House Atreides, Gurney Halleck narrowly escaped death during the Harkonnens’ most recent attack, which all but decimated those he had sworn to protect. His expertise in battle is once welcome when he is unexpectedly reunited with Paul, who is facing new enemy threats at every turn on his path to vengeance.
CHANI
A powerful Fremen warrior skilled at survival in the harsh desert dunes of Arrakis, Chani is no longer simply a mysterious vision that visits Paul’s dreams, but a fierce ally fighting alongside him. Though she understands Paul’s drive for vengeance, she is ultimately driven by a higher calling to defend her people and their way of life.
STILGAR
A leader of the mysterious tribal peoples of Dune known as the Fremen, Stilgar will do anything to protect the lives and cultural identity of his people. He is revered by his tribe as a man of wisdom born of a deep symbiotic relationship with the wilds of Dune; a primal survivor who has made the most dangerous planet in the universe his home.
SHISHAKLI
Chani’s closest and oldest friend in the Sietch Tabr, Shishakli is a funny, loyal ally to her northern Fremen comrade, and a tough fighter. She speaks loudly and quickly and with honesty, but also listens to Chani when she needs to share her thoughts, whether about the differences in the old and new ways of thinking among their people, or about Chani’s growing interest in Paul Atreides.
FEYD-RAUTHA HARKONNEN
Feline, muscular and with the full-body alopecia typical of the Harkonnens, Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen’s intelligence is matched by his cruelty, and he employs both in combat, making him a truly formidable foe to anyone that crosses his path. Feyd’s skills will be put to the test outside of his gladiators’ practice ring when he is sent to battle an unexpected enemy.
“BEAST” RABBAN HARKONNEN
As animalistic and savage as his name implies, the Beast Rabban, nephew of the sadistic Baron Vladimir Harkonnen, remains his towering enforcer on Arrakis… for now. Still a brutal force of nature, Rabban’s outbursts are even more incomprehensible and unpredictable as his rage continues to grow—along with his obsession with ridding Arrakis of the Fremen.
BARON VLADIMIR HARKONNEN
Evil personified, Baron Vladimir Harkonnen continues to be a Machiavellian force of malevolence, determined to feed his addiction for cold, remorseless brutality upon others…no matter which house they belong to. The monstrous head of House Harkonnen may be somewhat weakened after his brush with death at Duke Leto’s hand, but remains determined to claim the spice-rich sands of Dune by any means necessary.
PRINCESS IRULAN
Princess Irulan—daughter of Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV and protégé of the Bene Gesserit Reverend Mother Mohiam—is an elegant, regal young woman with a strategic mind and observant nature. Called upon for her opinion on handling a potential uprising on Arrakis, she does not shrink when offering her opinions, no matter how unpopular.
PADISHAH EMPEROR SHADDAM IV
As enigmatic as he is charismatic, with eyes that betray his otherwise inscrutable features, the Emperor, like the Bene Gesserit who guide him, excels at strategic manipulation. Directing those who reside within House Atreides and House Harkonnen like pieces on a Cheops chessboard, his ultimate prize is not merely the precious Spice, but the universal power it brings to whomever controls it.
LADY MARGOT FENRING
Despite carrying herself with the serene bearing of a Bene Gesserit, Lady Margot Fenring finds herself seduced by the animalistic power of Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen as he demonstrates his ruthless skills in combat. It is, however, her understanding of Reverend Mother Mohiam’s strategy and her highly perceptive ability to see plans within plans that make Lady Fenring mysterious figure in the shadows.
My Favorite Movie
Dune (both parts) has become my all-time favorite movie. I preordered the 4K released and watched it again as soon as it was delivered. The world building is so rich and vibrant, the story awesome and tragic at once. Even if you don’t get the 4K version, please give these movies a chance. I was skeptical before watching them but my interest skyrocketed after watching this story unfold. Favorite Scene: Paul’s Arrival in the South. The spectacle and sound was so epic and foreboding.

Eine sehr gute Fortsetzung!
Wer den ersten Film gesehen und gemocht hat, wird beim Nachfolger bestens bedient sein. Das Pacing hat ordentlich zugelegt, da das World-Building in Teil 1 abgefeuert worden ist. Daher kann sich der zweite Film direkt der Handlung zuwenden.David SchwambornEine sehr gute Fortsetzung!
Reviewed in Germany on March 23, 2025
Dune Part 2 beendet das erste Buch des Dune- Zyklus ab und bereitet den Weg für die nachfolgenden Werke. Ja, Denis Villeneuve lässt sich viele Freiheiten bei der Adaption eines Buches zu einem Film und das ist auch notwendig, denn jedes Medium hat eigene Stärken und Schwächen, die von einem talentierten Regisseur und Drehbuchautoren genutzt werden müssen.
Hardliner der Bücher regen sich vielleicht darüber auf, dass die Frau von Jamis keine Rolle im Film spielt, aber mir, als Fan der Bücher, stieß das nicht sauer auf. Wer den Film als even eine ADAPTION ansieht, und sich keine 1:1 Kopie des Buches wünscht, wird hier definitiv eine gute Zeit haben.
