Side-By-Side comparison: Dune 1984 vs Dune 2021

I know that the worms design was changed for the new dune but they look so much better. Also the touch of how the vibrate the sand to swim through it, is just genius

The Baron in the 1984 Dune is a lot more fun. I love both movies overall.

1984 acting felt a bit different, you can tell it's a movie and not real conversations while modern movies feel like more like real conversations

When they remake Dune again in another 37 years I look forward to the revised version of this video

I get the love for the old one, its called nostalgia. But the new one is hands down waaay better. Lynch did not understand the assignment the way Villenueve did.

One of the many things I loved about the 2021 version from Villeneuve and co. is how it references ALL the previous adaptations. They respect them, and they pick up visual hints from the Lynch movie, from the Cryo adaptation, from the miniseries, and probably from the Westwood rts though I cannot remember (apart from the soundtrack, because Zimmer is incredible). It feels like it is the vision Villeneuve wanted to bring from the books, what he feels about them, and brought everyone with him in this journey. I already loved his Blade Runner for the same reasons, and I cannot wait for Dune second part.

as an VFX learner, i love the visuals of the new one. also i love how the revised some of the designs of the craft especially the dragon fly one. on the other hand i think the old dune did their best with their limited tech so i give them credit as well

I love the Villeneuve version but I think Lynch captured a more alien world. The interactions in it are so odd and disturbing. The Mentats and their tech, the Guild Navigator, Baron Harkonnen’s skin. It’s all underrated. I’m sad for Lynch that he feels such sadness about it. Yes, the sfx are dated and it’s not one of his best films. But still, it needs to be acknowledged for what it accomplished and how creative it still is.

Thanks for the comparison. On the whole, I prefer the cast of the first movie. The music was also a notch above. Although, the music in the new one is quite good. Having more hours of Dune with modern technology sure is nice though.

I feel like a student again, when you used to write the draft before the fair copy 😁 btw... Epic movie with a perfect soundtrack imho

こおいう動画が観たかったです１１ 本動画は、資料性が高く、とても優れた動画ですね！

i mean nothing beats modern CGI no matter how nostalgic the first one looks. the interesting comparison is in 40 years when dune is remade again then those comparisons will be interesting.

Chani and irulan 1984 dune were beautiful.

While everyone praises the new movie which I thought it would be a new retelling of Dune but instead Villaneuve drew so much inspiration from David Lynch's version it's credit to his work in 1984 which is ahead of it's time. The new Dune has the right feel of realism and is truly amazing in visuals and atmosphere but it could only achieve that because of the 1984 film. Both movies I ❤.

I'm a fan of Lynch's version all the way. For one thing I was only 16 years old and it was still fun to go to movie theaters. And it just ask that Gothic steampunk feel to it that CGI cannot recreate.

What movie’s better, 84 or 21? The answer is the book.

Awesome

I would only imagine gurney in the 2021 dune movie shouting "long live duke leto" without carrying the dog, of course. That'll be epic.

Will have to wait another 40 years for a decent remake

I still think that the old Dune will keep up eons as a reference despite his age. Frank Herbert himself loved the movie and helped cast McLachlan and supported all the changes like the weirding module. I think he saw the longer version of the movie that it's more complete and even more accurate in some peculiar features than the new ones. He was happy about it because thanks to the movie his books would spread easier and start their life alone.
