mani writes "The Sci Fi Channel's interpretation of Frank Herbert's classic epic Dune has been released on DVD today. Here is an in-depth review of the 2-disc package."
On the plus side, the religion in Dune makes a bit more sense than Co$. Maybe Herberts should have started a religion -- at least its copyrighted texts would be better written.

There's an interesting backstory to this DVD, about why it doesn't have the director's cut, anamorphic widescreen, decent special features, or Dolby Digital 5.1, as was originally advertised. You can read more about it here. The short version is the consumer got screwed by inter-studio bickering and inane licensing issues. Oh, and if you liked the series, save your money, because they'll be doing a special edition DVD soon.
