The director did not make Dune for your TV, they made it for a theater.
Next thing you’ll want is 120fps movies. Truly, learn why aspect and FPS is important, and you may appreciate them more.
This is correct. Also, Dune sucked, so that might be why you didn’t like it.
Everyone seems to think that Dune is either a masterpiece or it’s literal trash.
Ps. Anyone that thinks it sucked is subjectively wrong and needs to give part two a chance or read the books to understand how great the story really is.
IDK if you’re just venting or not, or if I’m just blind, but I feel like I don’t have this issue with my TV. Not without watching 4:3 content anyway. What are you watching that has bars?
Dune is 2.39:1. Bars on top and bottom. Greater width for greater peripheral immersion.
Stretch the image, duh /jk

Well the quest for a universal aspect ratio was lost in the fifties. Just be glad you don’t have to watch pan and scan VHS transfers of films shot in cinemascope
