I first saw the Lynch version of "Dune", ten years ago... and frigging hated it. There are parts of it, that no re-edit can fix -- the often hideous art direction, questionable acting choices, and just plain cheap-looking effects. But this brilliant re-edit does fix some of the worst problems, namely the awkward pacing, the great disservice of the Fremen (particularly in the theatrical cut), and the annoying as hell narration for every lingering thought.
The final movie -- and yes, I do call this the definitive cut of the Lynch film -- doesn't turn a turd into a masterpiece, but it does make the absolute best of the filmed material. Great work.

There isn’t much I can say that hasn’t already been said by turnip5. I will add that keeping Irulan’s entrance and narration was a terrific move. I was never that happy with the extended cut’s prologue or narrator and restoring the theatrical opening was one of the bigger selling points for me. Great edit overall. The little fixes particularly (such as giving the Guild Navigator blue eyes) were fun to spot and really aided the experience.
This is some fine work well worth the wait. Thank you.

I have had a love hate relationship with this film for many years. For all the original movies faults, I cant help wanting to rewatch it. So it was a joy to find your edit has made this the only version I will ever watch again. 5 out of 5. Thank You.
