![]() It’s a shame there’s nothing else as I strongly wanted to watch the making of once again. Which is fine and all, but this is a rather expensive package for just the films. No commentary, no behind the scenes, no bloopers. My one big complaint here is despite the film being 9 discs there is not a single extra include. It’s said no special effects were recreated for the video which truly shows how far ahead of their time these movies were when they first came out. In order for the films to be converted to 4k HDR, many of the films’ effects had to be “re-painted” to cut out any imperfections and give it that ultra-crisp look. The Lord of the Rings: Motion Picture Trilogy Ultra HD Blu-ray The following films were finished using advanced digital color timing, which allowed Jackson and team to tweak specific hues of each frame and sequence. For the first movie, Jackson used an old-fashioned, mechanical color timing, which is used to perfect the colors of on-set photography. These are some of the best films of all time.Įach of the original films were shot on 35mm film. Now the packaging is not as nice here but it still felt special. The excitement of opening up the case was like opening up my copies of the extended DVD cuts so many years ago. Also included is digital download codes for the movies. Inside the box is nine discs, three being for the theatrical run and six being for the extended cuts. These films have been meticulously fine tuned and given all new life with his remaster. And wow, what a difference this upgrade makes. I still had some holiday left so why not sit my ass back down on the couch and rewatch them all once again. ![]() I was about to spend about 15 hours rewatching them all in 4K Utra HD on our new LG OLED55CX. My precious I said as I put the first disc into my player. Essentially I was to now rewatch all three films I just sat through, but this time in glorious 4K. A review copy of Lord of the Rings in 4K had just arrived for this very review. Upon finishing the final book a package arrived at my door. ![]() From Gandalf taking on the Balrog in Khazad-dum to the arrival of the Rohirrim at the Pelennor Fields. There’s still some parts that could be cut and tightened, I’m looking at you Return of the King, but overall they are incredible cinematic triumph. Of course I had to watch the extended versions as well because what’s an extra few hours if you’re going all in on LOTR? The films still hold up remarkably well for 1080p and being 20+ years old. Not having seen the films in a few years so I couldn’t wait to rewatch them.
