The Lord of the Rings UHD Blu-ray

So you trust his perfect score considering the issues outlined in the video?

 

I’m not suggesting it’s not worth buying, the reviewer himself explains why it likely cannot be improved upon, but a perfect score?

It is not a matter of absolute trust; Ralph Potts reviews have mainly worked for me.  No problems if you disagree...

 

I did see a few scenes where I thought details could have been better but they did not prevent me from thoroughly enjoying the 4K LOTR.

It might be nice if the rest of us who missed out could actually buy this set.

I am half way through the Extended version of The Fellowship of the Ring. I have to say that while the additional scenes are interesting and informative, it is quite hard going. The pace of the movie is compromised a bit for no real gain in impact. I can see why they cut so much out for the Theatrical version (as well as to make money on the release of the Extended...) 

 

Having said that, the visuals are spectacular. Also, often overlooked, is the exceptional soundtrack and surround effects. It really does make me want to get that extra pair of speakers and go to 7.1. Maybe another time and another house....

For people who have read the books, the Extended version is IT!  It filled in the details that readers were expecting.  For me, I enjoyed the Extended version even more than what I saw in the theatre. I did watch every LOTR release in the theatre and enjoyed it a lot. 

 

Cannot say the same for the Hobbit, which was a pure money making exercise, saw them once on BD.
