So, is the 4K restoration good or not?

was watching on my lg c9 yesterday, its beautiful. although a few scenes look like they arent even in 4k. but mostly it looks really good
Elijah Morales
They fixed the issues with the previous Blu-ray, but it's an upscale. The film was not re-scanned for 4K.
Kayden Moore
It looks good. The cave troll looked way better than I remembered, somehow
Brayden Phillips
Only good thing they did was color graded it better
Otherwise most of the shots look blurry because they wanted to decrease the grain so that the 2K effects shots didn't look jarring next to 4K grainy footage
Thomas Martinez
All the effects were in 2k anyway weren’t they? And since so much of the film has effects shots going back to the original film would seem a bit pointless
Andrew Perry
This is false. They rescanned the original film negatives in 4K. The special effects were rendered in 2K originally, so for the effects shots (which make up about a third of each movie, more on RotK), they scanned the film outs in 4K. Then they tweaked everything to make it look consistent.
Jonathan Reyes
I'll let you know when it finishes downloading next week.
Colton Harris
Regardless, the film looks flat. No grain. Unacceptable.
Hunter White
they DNR'd the fuck out of it for sure. SOP for 4K releases unfortunately.
Sebastian King
you're a fucking liar
Jack Cooper
It's been DNR'd but not to hell and back. lots of detail, still.

Thomas Martin
fuck off you lying cunt
>All the effects were in 2k anyway weren’t they
Not all no
>The Fellowship of the Ring was shot photochemically on 35mm film in Super 35 format using a variety of Arriflex, Arricam, Mitchell, and Moviecam cameras with Zeiss Ultra Prime and Angenieux Optimo lenses. Only about 70% of the film was finished as a Digital Intermediate at the time, as the process was then new and still evolving (the other 30% was finished traditionally on film). For this new Ultra HD remaster, Park Road Post (a New Zealand post facility owned by WingNut Films) went back and scanned the original camera negative in 4K, then scanned the VFX film-out elements (for VFX shots that were finished on film) in 4K, and upsampled the VFX shots that were finished digitally (in 2K resolution) to create a brand new 4K Digital Intermediate at the proper 2.39:1 aspect ratio. The film’s color was then completely re-graded from the ground up, a process that included new grading for High Dynamic Range (both HDR10 and Dolby Vision options are available on these discs). All of this was personally supervised and approved by director Peter Jackson.
basically most of the VFX was rendered out to film and now rescanned, but some of it was rendered out to 2K which they unfortunately had to digitally upscale to 4K

Nice
Easton Williams
yeah it looks great. Easily a top tier UHD. It's not literal perfection like Lawrence of Arabia, but it's still great. Especially considering how much better the art work done on the practical effects and costumes looks now.
Gavin James
I'll stick with the theatrical blu-rays thank you very much

Brody Anderson
Got mine off Amazon today. Last copy.
Eli Carter
which versions are you guys downloading? i couldnt figure out which version to go with, so im going to try the framestor remux first then watch it again with the 40gb boredor encode.
i have a shitty 4k hdr samsung (was like $700), so no OLED or DV or anything, and i just dont know if i can appreciate the difference between a 40gb encode or a 120gb remux.
