In my growing anticipation for director Denis Villeneuve vision of DUNE, I decided it was time to revisit Spence's edit of the 2000 mini-series.
And I must say, it lived up to my memory and then some!
This is an excellent, entertaining, EPIC fan edit. The focus of the edit is not to be more faithful to the book, but instead distill the 3 part mini-series down to its core essence and tell a rousing and operatic tale. And it succeeds magnificently in my book.
Is it perfect? No. There are some minor technical/cut issues, not to mention John Hurt mistakenly listed in the newly crafted opening instead of William Hurt (I can not believe I missed that (!!!) the first time I watched this LOL), but these are imperfections do not detract in the slightest from the wonderfully re-imagined narrative.
Highly recommended!
