I am a huge fan of the original release cinema version of Dune. I have watched it tens of times and never tire of its atmospheric and poetic effect. When you can recite almost every line in the film while viewing it I suppose it is going to be difficult to watch another version in which extra scenes and dialogue have been needlessly inserted. I had hoped this extended version would give me the movie plus something extra but in fact it seems to take away the flow and fine editing of the original. The voice-over Prologue is a needless addition and the male voiceover that runs through the film just gets in the way, without adding anything. The film doesn't benefit from more "explanation" - for more depth you would read the book - and the music and language of the original do enough to give you the message. My advice is to stick to the original.

Not only does this add almost 45 extra minutes, it also removes a couple of scenes that I was never really happy with. Notably for me are 2 scenes that were not in the book; the Baron wanting to spit on lady Jessica and also the spulling of the heart plug and the introduction of scenes that are a lot more sensible (Keines spiitting in welcome).
What you have left is a superb film. I don't think anyone realised just what a great job David Lynch had done to produce a single movie from the Novel until the mini series tried it as well over 4hours.
Now the movie is just under 3 hours, feels cleaner, sharper with more pinpoint sound.

my husband is a huge sci-fi fan, while i prefer more worldly crime thrillers, however I love the sound track to this film but found the plot to the original release somewhat confusing. The extended edition expands the plot and has increased my understanding of the film; it is a much more enjoyable story and as the sound track is still fab, it is a welcome addition to the ever expanding sci-fi collection!
