@@whitemoses7913 I was blown away when I heard a Christopher lee interview saying that his death scene was taken out entirely I was like “holy shit there’s more?!” Bought the extended versions the next day lol One thing I thought was so interesting is how much editing and cleaning up was done to create the finished theatrical product, as I’ve never seen any extended cuts or behind the scenes of any movie really. This biggest thing that stood out to me was how the music changed in some scenes. For me, as for most fans I’m sure, the score is really what made the experience. And in the extended versions you can tell they went in and made little tweaks to where the music lines up or maybe put in a certain phrase in a different spot, and surprisingly it really shows on the finished product. The best example for this is of course when the Orcs are sneaking up the river to take osgiliath. I’m the extended version, I believe we actually get a flashback of when Faromir actually finds boramirs horn in the river (hopefully this is the scene, it’s been about 2 months😅) as this scene led right into the attack on osgiliath, at this point, the music had already working towards a climax, ultimately leading right when faromir makes the first strike. But as we know in the theatrical version we don’t even have that flashback!! So this directly led to them being able to cut out the music entirely and totally changing the mood of the scene from an inevitable, head-on battle, to a stealthy “element of surprise” type attack. And this of course was a perfect way to depict that scene. Of course this is just my speculation and maybe they had other motives but I just thought that was really cool to think about. hats off to peter and his team for the best films ever made👌🏻

If you want LOTR to look like the Hobbit, it’s for you. Because it’s not LOTR in 4K. There is a lot of bad Digital Noise Reduction. They removed the grain from the CGI ( back in the days they added it to make it looked like it belonged in the movie) and they changed the grading of the whole pictures. It looks like the Hobbit. And it’s not a compliment. The job was rushed for Xmas, wait for the summer release to see if they improved things after le backlash they received. Edit: I forgot to talk about the audio. It’s mostly good but some sounds are missing from some scenes. Such as the end of the fight between Saruman and Gandalf.

Tevilo Master of Catssssss!!! The curse if Nims gold and the betrayal of the Nauglafring! Turin's curse! The love of Beren & Luthien! Ungweliant and her suckling of the great trees from Valinor! The Music of the Ainur! None of these will ever translate as well to screen as Peter's trilogy. The only movies that actually compliment the books instead of standing in their shadow. Kids are too dumb these days and it would be bad financially to rely too heavily on the audience's intelligence these days- especially with the Teacher's Union purposely ruining a generation of minds for political & personal reasons. #Sad

Get a pair of surround speakers and 2 or 4 overhead atmost speakers. You can upgrade in phases if needed to get decent quality speakers. Once you have a full atmos system, you will be find the sound is much more enveloping with great use of surround and overhead effects.

The color pallet used to be distinctive. I knew I was watching LoTR, and not some other generic medieval fantasy movie. With this edition, the color pallet is no longer unique. Yes, you can pick up more details because of pixel clarity, but I found it lost a part of its identity. I still watch the triology every year during Christmas break, what a masterpiece.

@CybershamanX3 жыл бұрын
I have LotR extended trilogy on DVD (I even sent away for the special slipcover that holds all of the movies) and the blu-ray set. I really am looking forward to getting the whole set on 4K and it will likely drive my equipment purchases in the near future. Like getting a better TV, for one, and _maybe_ upgrading to an Atmos system from my present Dolby PLIIx 7.1 system. I'm a little curious why they would put out just the movies now instead of waiting to have all of the bonus material together with them, too. Well, we all know the answer is MONEY, but I'm just wondering what their release plan is. Is the full package going to cost _that_ much more that offering a set that has _just_ each trilogy will appeal to some people who otherwise wouldn't get the full bonus material edition? Maybe thinking that they can just watch their old sets with their bonus material. But, wait! They said that there will be "new and never seen before material" in the new collection! So, I don't know how I feel about the whole situation and, frankly, myself. :/ So, they put out the movies only edition to coincide with the holidays, of course. But, I'm going to wait to get the collector's edition when it comes out. Am I playing right into their money grubbing hands, here? And what happens after this? Will there be yet another "super duper deluxe combined WITH NEVER BEFORE SEEN MATERIAL" edition a few years from now? I don't know. I really like these films. (Well, mostly LotRs, but, to quote from another fantasy tale, that is another story...) But I just hate to feel like I'm being used as a money tree. :/ Anyway, so, yes, definitely upgrade to at least 5.1 surround sound. Yeah, soundbars are getting pretty good these days, but it's amazing what a subwoofer, center and surround channels can do. Especially when there's more than one or two people watching (and spread around a room), nothing beats discrete (separate) channels of sound.

I don't think that the picture quality is top notch. Peter Jackson used too much DNR in some of the scenes. There are some really horrible examples of DNR. In Part III the DNR-Filter removed the top of Gandalf's Staff in one of the Minas Tirith Shots. In the Two Towers, where Eowyn looked over Rohan, the landscape is missing any texture or details. This was not the case with the Extended Bluray which looked often sharper and more detailed. If there is one reason to buy the 4k Edition its the Color Grading and HDR implementation. Its absolutely top notch !!! I just whished PJ didn't used the DNR at all and sticked with the more grainy image from the Extended Bluray. Than it would be by far the best the movies have ever looked.
