Some may question the reason for this as both the DVD and Blu Ray editions had a similar treatment, surely with more advanced technology we should be able to get the full movie on one disc? well yes, we could, but to do so would require a heavy dose of compression that would provide a much weaker image and negate the whole purpose of purchasing the 4K versions. In a similar fashion, the box set features both the theatrical and extended editions of each movie with the extended editions being spread across two discs each. This version released alongside The Hobbit 4K set at the end of November 2020 and was arguably and understandably the more anticipated of the two releases. Concerning HobbitsĪfter our recent review of The Hobbit 4K Edition, it was only inevitable that we would return like a great presence from the east to give you our thoughts on the one true power in this saga, The Lord of the Rings 4K Extended Editions. There is a collectors issue available which includes all the special features found in the Blu-ray box set should you have the pocket for it.
The box set reviewed here is the standard set that features the movies only.
