## Description

Peter Jackson's complete epic big screen adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's 'Lord of the Rings' trilogy - filmed back-to-back and released over 3 consecutive years. In 'The Fellowship of the Rings' (2001) Frodo (Elijah Wood) is a hobbit living in the Shire, a quiet, peaceful part of Middle Earth. When it turns out that his elderly relative Bilbo (Ian Holm) is harbouring the ultimate Ring of Power and the evil Nazgul riders of Sauron are coming to find it, Frodo is entrusted by wizard Gandalf (Ian McKellen) to deliver the Ring out of the Shire without it falling into their hands. Frodo leaves the Shire aided by his cousins Merry (Dominic Monaghan), Pippin (Billy Boyd) and trusty friend Sam Gamgee (Sean Astin), but they soon realise that the agents of Mordor are everywhere and that their trip is far from over. Once they reach the Elvish realm of Rivendell the Hobbits form part of the anti-Sauron fellowship, which includes Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen), Boromir (Sean Bean), Legolas Greenleaf (Orlando Bloom), Gimli the dwarf and of course Gandalf. Together they must battle across Middle Earth to destroy the Ring by casting it into the Cracks of Doom, the fiery chasm in the centre of Mordor. In 'The Two Towers' (2002) the Fellowship of the Ring has now divided and Sam and Frodo are lost in the hills of Emyn Muil. They are also being followed by Gollum, a creature who promises to help them find the Mountain of Doom. Meanwhile Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli search for the hobbits Merry and Pippin in the Kingdom of Rohan, which is currently being attacked by Saruman's orc armies. Gandalf returns as Gandalf the White to remind Aragorn of his destiny to unite the people of Rohan with Gondor. Whilst the Fellowship are not travelling together they must unite against the powerful forces coming from the Two Towers: Orthanc Tower in Isengard where Saruman has bred a deadly army of 10,000, and Sauron's fortress at Barad-dûr. Finally, 'The Return of the King' (2003) won all 11 Academy Awards it was nominated for, including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay. Gandalf manages to rally Gondor's fallen army with the help of King Theoden of Rohan for the biggest battle in the history of Middle-earth; and Aragorn finally faces up to his responsibilities. They are obviously out-numbered but are determined to keep Sauron distracted in order to enable Frodo to complete his quest to destroy the Ring by throwing it into the fires of the Mountain of Doom.

Review: Brilliant! Not quite 3D without glasses but getting there... - This version of the Lord of the Rings Trilogy is amazing. The extra scenes make it well worth the wait and the price paid for it. As many will do and have done, I will not throw in any spoilers except to say the extended version includes many more scens that are missing from the theatrical / cinema version. The reason being that the extended versions are the full movies, which had to be cut to make the length more suitable for cinema viewing. These movies could easily have been made into six movies rather than three simply by having the The Fellowship of the Ring Part 1 / Part 2, The Two Towers Part1 / Part.... but then it might have put people off watching them in the cinema if they are going to have to pay double to watch a whole movie. This 4K version is very good value for money as it costs nearly £40 for two people to go to the cinema in some parts of London and that doesn't include the rubbery old hotdog or the stale popcorn that is no longer made fresh on site or even the overdiluted soft drinks that cost £5 each. So, for less price for two people to go to the cinema to watch all three movies you get to buy them to watch as often as you want and with as many people as you want, you only have to provide the popcorn. Now for the quality of the movie. The quality is far greater than that of which you watched in the cinema, it is clearer and you notice more of the background. It is not quite 3D but is 1/2 way there. It's a little like watching 3D without the glasses but the foreground does not quite stand out as much. Before buying this box set and complaining that it's rubbish, as many do, you have to consider your devices. If you have a 4K "Upscaling" TV, the quality will not be as good as intended. If your BluRay Player is a 4K upscaling one then the quality will not be as good as intended. If either or both of your tv and BluRay Player are 4K " upscaling" then the quality will not be as intended. For the best quality imagery both the BluRay Player and the TV have to be "native 4K" So, if you buy this box set and you are using a 4K Upscaling device then you cannot complain that the quality is poor as it's not the BluRay Disk, nor is it the content that make the quality poor, it is your old HD TV that can't produce 4K content or your 4K upscaling TV. However, what I am keen to read about is reviews from those with 8K upscaling TVs as I can imagine the huge difference in quality but then I could be wrong as the higher resolution may just distort the quality and make it as bad as 2K TV quality. For the length of the movies, the entertainment value, the extra scenes and the quality of this box set I highly recommend it.
Review: 4K is absolutely STUNNING!!! - The second they released this mighty trilogy in 4K HDR…I needed it. I needed it badly!!! The £75.00 price tag was the only barrier but as soon as I saw that it had dropped to around the £50 mark, I could no longer resist! I had never even streamed the films in HD or viewed them on Blu-Ray format, as I purchased them on DVD many years ago when they first came out, so it was a serious upgrade for me. All I can say is that all 3 titles are presented SPECTACULARLY….THIS is the precise reason why 4K HDR was developed - to enable us to enjoy visually accomplished filmmaking like this in all its glory. This masterful collection of films contains some of the most jaw-dropping imagery ever committed to celluloid, and certainly warrants the Ultra HD treatment more than any other. I’ve watched numerous 4K restorations such as The Matrix, Top Gun and Terminator 2 and nothing compares to the quality of this upgrade. The battle sequences in The Return of the King are by far the most astonishing examples of CGI ever created. It really is something special to behold - completely unparalleled and epic in every sense of the word. Everything looks immaculate in 4K - crystal clear, dazzlingly bold and intensely vibrant. In all honesty, the colour and picture detail is staggering, almost overwhelming at times, especially enhancing some of the darker footage and offering previously unseen depth and clarity. It just elevates the experience to a whole new level. I found myself pausing it at multiple points to try and fully absorb the grandeur of it - it’s such an onslaught on the senses that I desperately wanted to savour certain moments and revel in it. Some of the scenery and special effects are OUT OF THIS WORLD. The audio is now incredibly punchy, crisp and immersive too - equally as noticeable an upgrade as the image resolution. An example being the voice of Treebeard, whose beefy sub-tones sound entirely other-worldly. It’s truly breathtaking stuff and, without a doubt, the crown jewel in my movie collection. I’ve always considered LOTR to be the greatest trilogy in the history of cinema. Viewing it in 4K HDR only reaffirms that notion.
