Editor’s Note: This review is now complete. A similar review of The Hobbit Trilogy in 4K Ultra HD is also now available here on The Digital Bits.] You might be wondering next: Does this new 4K remaster really make that big of a difference? Is the image and sound really improved over the previous Blu-ray release? The answer to that is: HELL yes. However, if you don’t already have them, you’ll need to get a 4K display, a 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray player, and a surround sound system that’s compatible with Dolby Atmos. split between two discs apiece. An even more lavish trilogy collection -- with the possibility of brand-new extras -- is planned for release

So those are The Hobbit films. It’s odd that the only one to include trailers is the Extended version of the final film, but there it is. The 4K discs are identical to those released in late 2020. The movie Blu-rays are identical to the previous releases too, except for the fact that the theatrical BDs are all missing the second Blu-ray of bonus content that originally came with each, and the Extended BDs are all missing the two Appendices Blu-rays that came with each. The Blu-ray 3-D versions of each film (both theatrical and Extended) are also not included. Disc 13 – The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring – Theatrical Version (4K UHD)

In anticipation of those who wondered if there would be a complete box set of all six films in 4K or Blu-ray, Warner Bros. announced at the time that—sometime in the Summer of 2021—there would indeed be a Middle-Earth Ultimate Collector’s Edition box set with everything. Well… not quite everything. For while the set would include all six films in both 4K and Blu-ray (with The Lord of the Rings Blu-rays newly-remastered from the new 4K presentation), the set would not include The Hobbit films in Blu-ray 3-D, nor would it include any of The Appendices and Costa Botes content. The set would however add a single bonus disc of new content.

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Powerhas debuted on Prime Video. Will the TV series ever come to DVD and Blu-ray? What about on Digital? But here’s the thing: I’ve been reviewing Blu-ray and DVD quality professionally now for twenty-three years on The Digital Bits, and 4K Ultra HD quality for the last four of those years. And I don’t think I’ve ever seen a 4K remaster that made quite this much of a difference over a previous Blu-ray release before. No special features.

Disc 20 – The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers – Extended Version, Part 1 (4K UHD) On 4k Blu-ray there are some shots that are about as good as you could ever expect. The color is vibrant, details crisp, and the range of contrast impressive. In other shots the transfer quality doesn’t quite hit the same high marks, but that may have to do more with the way certain scenes are presented. For example, Galadriel and Arwen are always given a softer focus than other characters. There are also some shots you can find quips about, for example some of the forced perspective (used to make the Hobbit actors look smaller than other characters) does look a bit odd in today’s standards. However, if you do not own the DVD versions, then this is a must buy as this includes almost everything that you can think of (HD movies, extra features, behind the scenes, plus digital copies).
