Home Entertainment's Dune (2021) remained on top of both the Blu-ray-only and overall packaged media charts in its third week. In a surprising turn of events, the Emperor of the known universe reassigns the planet to Duke Leto of House Atreides ( Oscar Isaac), leading his household to move from the comforts of their rainy world of Caladan to the harsh deserts of Dune – a world that has featured prominently in the dreams of the duke’s son Paul ( Timothée Chalamet), who seems to be experiencing visions of the future. The 4K disc is formatted in Dolby Atmos and Dolby TrueHD, and both work masterfully, unlike the streaming versions with their slightly compressed sound that doesn’t stand up to scrutiny if you’re an audiophile.

This is the first part of a longer movie that will only get better with age and after repeat viewings. Some fans may be disappointed that the IMAX scenes aren’t presented in full screen 16:9 as with Christopher Nolan‘s films, or receive a similar treatment to Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice with the even taller 1.
