The Lord Of The Rings: Motion Picture Trilogy [DVD] [2003] [2015]

Good quality.

Great if you enjoy the LOTR saga.

Excellent set

In my opinion, 'The Lord of The Rings' trilogy is the best movie-seriesever made.This 9-disc set includes 2 discs per movie for each of the extendedversions and one disc each for the theatrical (I myself accompanied bymy daughter did see all three at the cinema when first released)Like many, did buy theatrical versions when first released on Blu-ray andindeed the extended Blu-ray box-set, guess you could say I was totallyhooked on the films, now, with the release of the 4K version I find myselfinvesting further (suspect I am not the only one on the LOR journey?)The upgrade to the 4K format is frankly stunning, the picture quality somuch better than previously available for viewing....clearly a worthwhileinvestment for admirers of the trilogy.The trilogy tells of Frodo's ( Elijah Wood) dangerous quest to destroythe ring of power, the superbly filmed and staged battles for Middle Earthand the date with destiny for Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen)Life in the Shire is without worries for the Hobbit's, blissfully unaware of thedangers brewing in near-by lands.Bilbo now 111 decides it is time to retire to quieter climes to finish his bookleaving his belongings and home to his much younger second cousin whohe'd adopted in years past.Among the possessions a ring, which is explained as very dangerous andpowerful to Frodo by Wizard and friend Gandalf (Ian Mckellan)Bilbo(Ian Holm) its guardian for many years after finding it in a cave occupiedby the creature Gollum (Andy Serkis) who had been consumed by the ringspower during the 500 years he'd had it after finding the ring that had been lostfor 2500 years, Gollum had accidentally dropped the ring.Later, understanding the importance of the ring and the need to destroyit in the fires of Mount Doom where it had originally been forged Frodovolunteers to take on the task.He is joined initially on his quest by loyal-friend Sam (Sean Astin) and alittle later by friends from the Shire the fun-loving Pippin (Billy Boyd) andMerry (Dominic Monaghan) the latter two would eventually become separatedfrom their friends and unwittingly join a quest of their own.The four become joined to guide Frodo on his way by Aragorn, Legolas (OrlandoBloom) a prince of Elves, Boromir (Sean Bean) a prince of the Stewards of Gondor, dwarf-warrior Gimli (John Rhys-Davies) and Gandalf The Grey.Gandalf is aware that they are being followed by the wretched creature Gollum.The group encounters dangerous issues prior to Frodo who will be joined by Sam as they really start the perilous journey to Mount Doom.Not really knowing the way, they take up the offer by Gollum who in truth only wants the ring back, to guide them, though Sam is deeply suspicious of the creature.Meanwhile, Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli prepare to join in the fight first for Helms Deep, then for Gondor and Middle Earth.While Pippin and Merry meet trees that talk prior to becoming part of the plot to overthrow Saruman the White: (Christopher Lee) who does the bidding of Sauron Lord of Mordor and its armies of OrcsWill Frodo overcome the journey's dangers and destroy the ring?Will the battle for Middle Earth be won by Aragorn and his followers?Will Aragorn fulfill his destiny?The trilogy also starring Liv Tyler, Cate Blanchett among the many in this allstar spectacle.The exciting Special-Effects enhanced trilogy is exciting and indeed a spectacle to behold.Certainly, a film series you'll watch many times over. (And of course, there is also Bilbo's adventure in The Hobbit trilogy)

This is a must buy for any lotr fans. Remastered and on UHD this looks and sounds amazing through surround sound.Other films studios should take note, this is how to remaster and rerelease films.

just as i remember

Having watched this trilogy multiple times on dvd and blurray, I just had to get the 4K edition which includes both the theatrical and extended versions for all three films.The product is definitely not fake like some reviews have stated. The quality of the box is not the best, the plastic holding the discs is flimsy and the sleeve has a paper cover on it that can be easily removed. This is done on purpose (I assume to reduce costs) and does not mean the product is fake, just low quality packaging.Moving onto the actual movies, I have only watched Fellowship of the Ring so far in this edition but the quality is really good for such an old film so I hope the other two continue with this quality.The 4K is surprisingly good for such an old film and the HDR is mostly great. Not all highlights pop out but this is mainly only an issue in brighter scenes. The dark scenes look fantastic and highlights pop. Colours are also great and audio definitely sounds better than previous versions. Watching this on my OLED tv is just out of this world.There are still some negatives. I found the audio balancing to still be as poor as previous versions, I kept having to either increase of lower the volume depending on the scene. It is also annoying that the extended versions are still on two discs. This is to be expected on dvd and bluray discs which can't hold as much data but I didn't think this would be an issue with 4K discs. It also doesn't include the standard bluray discs like most 4K movies do but I don't think this is an issue as I bought it for the 4K discs and not the bluray discs.Overall a great release of one of the best movie trilogies to exist.(Note that my phone enhanced the colours of the photos so they do not exactly reflect what you will see)

Excellent quality

La caja llegó bien, sin ningún daño. Los discos se ajustan bien y de mantiene fijos al mover la caja.sin rayaduras. La calidad grafía y de sonido ufff.. una barbaridad. Recomendado para los fans

I had the extended box set on DVD and watch these movies a LOT, so I was hesitant to rebuy movies I already own. Besides, how much better could it look in 4k? The answer is A TON! JUST WOW! I put Fellowship in just to see how it looks and ended up watching over an hour of it without realizing. Every scene is jaw-droppingly gorgeous! And the sound!!! I've been missing half this movie the whole time with what I couldn't hear before. The levels are really well mixed. During the fireworks scene in the Shire, I literally yelled "WOAH!" with all the other halfling children.This box set renewed my love for these movies.

Box was not damaged however one of thr disc's freezes 1 hr into 1st movie. Not really sellers.fault but disappointing.

Films en version française, 2 disques par film en qualité UHD.Une saga culte !

The ultimate way to watch my favourite movies of all time! 10/10
