It’s not quite the same as seeing Dune: Part Two in glorious IMAX, but there’s something to be said for getting to watch the nearly three-hour sci-fi epic from your own couch. You can rewind the sandworm scenes, pause to refill your popcorn bucket… and enjoy the many extras that come with this home release.
And it’s an option coming very soon! Dune: Part Two hits digital (anywhere you purchase or rent movies, including Amazon Prime Video, AppleTV, Google Play, and Fandango at Home) April 16; physical media collectors can mark May 14 on their calendars for the 4K UHD, Blu-ray, and DVD release.
