Dune: Part 2 Movie $9.99 to Buy (in UHD / HD / SD Formats, Was $24.99) @ Prime Video

750

Something to occupy your Friday night. Sadly not the version with Sting or Kyle MacLachan, but still a fair effort. I don't believe a subscription is necessary.

Description from Amazon:

Dune: Part Two explores the mythic journey of Paul Atreides as he unites with Chani and the Fremen while on a warpath of revenge against the conspirators who destroyed his family. Facing a choice between the love of his life and the fate of the known universe, he endeavors to prevent a terrible future only he can foresee.

    Thanks. Been waiting for price to drop. Tonight’s entertainment is set.

    • +11

      You should see the price drop at the local library, got mine tonight for the round figure of $0.00

      • -3

        It’s more for the ownership than just watching ✌️

        • +30

          If it's not physical, you're not owning it

          • @robeh: Can't disagree there

          • @robeh: Yeah, I'm wondering, what happens if you stop paying for Prime, can you still log in and watch a movie you have "bought"? Or are the two not linked?

            • @Kkuba: You don’t need an active subscription to play media you have purchased on their store.

          • @robeh: Not sure why the neg is, but everyone’s idea of ownership is subjective…

            I prefer 4k uhd physical disks at reasonable price for my fav movies but for less than 1/3 of the price i’d get the iTunes version and call it a day… ymmv ofcourse ;)

      Dune part 1 is only $7.99 too

      • +2

        Just started watching it. Good one to “own” since it’s 2.5 hours

        • +2

          Yep these are worth having on the Apple TV account, I just ‘buy’ my favourites I want in high res.

  • +6

    The books are lit

      yeah re-read messiah after a while and it blew me away. think herbert was in his prime around that era.

  • +15

    Any fan should want it in the highest picture and audio quality available on 4K UHD Blu-ray… I picked up the 4K Blu-ray Steelbook at beginning of June.

    • +2

      Did the same at roughly the same time though mine was for the 1 & 2 pack to watch on the TCL C855.

      • +1

        I didn’t need the 2 movie pack, I’ve owned the first one on 4K UHD Blu-ray for quite sometime, I didn’t pay very much for it either from memory, I think $12. The 77” Sony A95L QD-OLED is currently my primary TV that I watch my Blu-ray and 4K Blu-ray collection on.

    • +3

      I got very excited when this came up thinking it was UHD bluray. Need the second for my collection (just not the steelbook as I'm still an Ozbargainer).

    • +1

      Watched in IMAX. Nothing will beat that. And I've watched all the best movies in IMAX, the only one that compares to this is The Dark Knight.
      $40 well spent, will wait for re release in a few years rather than buying discs or watching online

      • yea….. but how would you know in advance if it's going to be the dark knight (vs joker) or it'll be the dark knight rises (vs bane), where they stuff up bane's audio and cant hear what he says in the cinemas

      • Which are all the best movies?

    • +1

      I downloaded a 4K BR remux of this but my wifi network isn't fast enough to play it without buffering every few minutes :(

      • +1

        @AustriaBargain

        You streamin' it straight to your TV? If so, use a Fire Stick or some streaming box and see if that alleviates or elimates the bufferin' all together.

        • +1

          I have newest Apple TV with Infuse, which is capable of playing it back. But the wifi isn't fast enough to serve it from my PC to my Apple TV. And the arrangement of the house which I don't own doesn't let me string ethernet cables everywhere. I should just get a new wifi router I guess.

          • +2

            @AustriaBargain: Must be pretty crummy wifi, is it 5ghz? Even WiFi 5 speeds should manage this remux stream with infuse

          • -2

            @AustriaBargain: I stream 4K Remux’s to my Apple TV via WiFi with no problems at all. However, having an Asus Wi-Fi 6E router might have something to do with that.

      • +1

        Ethernet.

      • This is why I opt to use the USB and not streaming. Have you tried USB?

        • +1

          Nah, my TV is too old/cheap to playback the remux.

  • +35

    It should say to rent as you don't own it.

    • +27

      Louis Rossmann has entered the chat.

    • +7

      Yeah, I was going to say, so you pay $9, which is highly discounted apparently, for the privilege to watch the movie as long as they let you, you pay them to subscribe to prime, and you have a working internet connection, the first two of which are somewhat unlikely to be so in 5-10 years time. Bring on the flames. 🔥

    • +2

      Owning something implies that you have the ability to sell it. Therefore this isn't owning.

  • +4

    Same price at Apple TV/iTunes and probably other platforms.

    • +1

      Sadly discounted not on google yet

    This movie is gonna look awesome on my new 42" TCL tv!

    Dune Part 1 put me to sleep. Is Part 2 an improvement?

    • +7

      If you're looking to get to sleep more efficiently, yes.

    • +3

      I enjoyed both movies. Part 1 was more world building, part 2 I thought was more action heavy and towards the end was just full-on action, even felt a bit rushed.

    • +2

      Probably helps to be a nerd who wants to see famous scifi adaptations, or to find Timothee hot.

      • +4

        And a Hans Zimmer score and directed by Denis Villeneuve. These are two other good reasons if you like their work.

    • As someone that thought part 1 was completely lame, part 2 is a completely different action packed movie

    • Yeah will put you right into coma.

    • +1

      Part 1 I tight was ok, part 2 was boring imo. Couldn't wait for it to end.

    • haha yeah villenevue's style is heaps of empty space where nothing happens lol.

    Amazon doesn’t list it having Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, whereas the Apple Store version does.

    • -3

      @9674784 - It’s still lossy audio not lossless audio found on Blu-ray and 4K Blu-ray along with having a lower video bitrate/poorer quality compression on the Apple Store version. Apple TV is my favourite streaming device (I own a Gen 3 4K Apple TV 128gb box) because it generally provides the highest quality for streamed content over any other device, but it’s still no substitute for the superior picture and audio quality on BD/4KBD discs.

      • -4

        What is blu-ray?

        • +3

          @SimAus007 - Something the people still use who want and appreciate the highest picture and audio quality currently available, for the rest of society that is happy with inferior quality there is paid streaming services. What’s sad is 1080p Blu-ray has existed for 18 years and 4K Blu-ray for 8 years, and the quality on streaming services still doesn’t match or surpass the quality of either of these 2 physical media formats.

          • -8

            @[Deactivated]: Physical media, vintage lol

            • +4

              @SimAus007: And that’s just stupid ignorance on your part as well as the percentage of society that agrees with you, and is one good reason why I am sitting here enjoying higher quality watching my Blu-ray/4K BD collection than you currently are watching on streaming services. If you’re happy with the lower quality you’re served on streaming platforms, then there is little incentive for internet infrastructure and streaming services to improve. If you illegally download Blu-ray/4K Blu-ray rips to get the highest quality, without discs still existing then the rips of them online wouldn’t exist for you to illegally download.

          • -5

            @[Deactivated]: Ok now you’re on ignore for even suggesting 1080p bluray is superior to 4K streaming.

            Nutter.

            • +4

              @9674784: Man this world is full of morons with poor comprehension skills. I didn’t say that at all, I said like for like, 1080p Blu-ray vs 1080p on streaming services, and 4K UHD Blu-ray vs 4K on streaming services.

            • +5

              @9674784: To further add to my previous response to this. You actually bring up an interesting topic, because there certainly are quite a number of 1080p Blu-rays that have superior picture quality compared to the 4K streaming counterparts. For example, Yellowstone seasons 1-5 on 1080p Blu-ray are essentially free of any visible poor compression artefacts and colour banding, whereas the 4K streams on Stan certainly aren’t, the last time I watched Yellowstone on Stan some episodes were riddled with compression artefacts and colour banding, a couple of night time scenes that I recall were really bad.

              • +1

                @[Deactivated]: I agree - the banding in some 4k streaming is really quite bad. Apple TV is the only streaming service I don’t notice it in.

      • +1

        I own nearly 500 4K blurays.

        Image quality is almost indistinguishable between disc and Apple streaming.

        Audio isn’t quite there but ‘no substitute’ is just hyperbole.

        • +4

          Good for you. I own over 4000 1080p Blu-rays and over 1000 4K UHD Blu-rays. I disagree with you that the image quality is almost indistinguishable, and so would many members on Blu-ray.com, where it’s regularly discussed and quality is evaluated by people that have a keen eye for detail and care about high quality and these sorts of things.

          The audio being no substitute is also not hyperbole at all, but to many that use tiny baby toy soundbars instead of separate audio components setups (receivers/amps/speakers/subwoofers) probably.

          • -5

            @[Deactivated]: You own over 4,000 blu ray discs, you must be the life of the party. Don't tell too many people that… Oh, wait…

            • +1

              @SimAus007: I don’t take my collection with me when I am invited to a party. If I invite people to my place then often my collection is the life of the party, because that’s what many of my friends and family want to do when they come to my place, watch movies on my setup, and that’s one of the main reasons for inviting them in the first place.

              Why do so many people seem to care about what others think? Who gives a crap about other peoples opinions about you and your choices, live and enjoy your life the way you want and fook everyone else. I started collecting Blu-rays in 2006 when the format launched, I’ve been a massive movie fan since I was kid and it was always a goal of mine to own a large physical media collection.

            Strange pissing contest. Anyway you could open up your own Blockbuster.

            • @Trishool: I could, but not a chance, because the majority of people are savages that don’t look after other peoples property with the same level of respect and care as the owner does and as they do with their own possessions. If I rented them out I would receive many of them back scratched and damaged, either with playback issues or them not working at all, and therefore they would be useless to me.

        • +3

          To each their own. Not hyperbole at all for me.

          I got LotR and Hobbit on their 4K remasters and they blow the AppleTV versions out of the water. It’s not even a comparison tbh.

          It is movie dependent because not every Bluray release is given the same quality as the next. But for these massive movies, their releases tend to be excellent.

  • Great movie. i got the steelbook 4k disk for $39 from JB Hifi :)

    • @vid_ghost - I picked up the Steelbook from JB for $28, I bought it the day it was released for the higher price, and when they had a percentage off sale a week or so later I went back and had them refund the difference under their 14 day price drop policy.

      • Thats a good deal but i probably wouldn't have done that for a $11 refund

        Those steelbooks are going for $100 on ebay

        Imagine being downvoted on Ozbargin for doing what you can to get a bargin. This is smart move!

      • -1

        How you do that with a straight face? do u have that much time to annoy staff 😂

        • @HangryCakeStore - I’m not sure what you mean. It’s not difficult or annoying staff (annoying staff is a person walking in and spending/wasting 30 minutes of the sales persons time talking about the product, only for the customer to go and purchase it from another retailer/online retailer such as Amazon) you simply line up at the register as you do when you’re buying something, when you get to the front of the queue you pull out your original receipt and tell the assistant that there has been a price drop within the last 14 on the item you purchased, they know their own policies, and quickly scan the barcode on the receipt and refund the difference back to you no questions asked… The whole process takes a matter of seconds.

    LISAN AL GHAIB !

    Anyone else love 1 but thought 2 sucked?

    • +1

      Half the plot was cut in the first movie and half the plot was cut in the second. But it's the best adaptation we can hope for.

      • +1

        Yeah I'll still watch any more that come out.

    • I didn’t think the second sucked, but I enjoyed the first one way more. I hadn’t at the time seen any other Dune movies and I’ve never read the book. The first movie felt more fleshed out with its world building etc and much more dense. Second felt a bit more basic and linear after that one.

      I’ve since seen the Lynch movie and noticed the events from Dune 2 felt like a much smaller portion of the overall tale versus what Dune 1 covers. On the other hand, that Lynch film was trying to do way too much in a two hour film, and the new ones flow much better.

      • I don't remember much from the lynch one other than he really nailed the creepy obese bad guy and his entourage.

        • It was a lot of story to try and tell in 2 hours. If I had watched that film before watching the new ones, I think I would have been very lost. The long run times across two films really allowed things to be fleshed out better. The Lynch one is ambitious but probably bit off more than it could chew.

  • -2

    Everytime I have trouble sleeping, I put on the first one. This one I will just skip

  • +1

    This may be cheap, but having an actual copy that you fully own and that no one can take away from you is even more valuable than a cheap copy you merely “license” for as long as the licensers want you to access it.

  • Nothing makes less sense to me than purchasing a film in digital format. Games I understand more but not films. What happens when Amazon shift gears in business model. I watch films from the 80's, i wont be playing a game thats 40 years old.

    • Are you still watching them on VHS though? Ripping them or downloading them from somewhere is probably the best way to keep them forever.

    So this how we’ll survive, by being OzBargainers
