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

They fixed the issues with the previous Blu-ray, but it's an upscale. The film was not re-scanned for 4K.

It looks good. The cave troll looked way better than I remembered, somehow

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

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

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.

I'll let you know when it finishes downloading next week.

Regardless, the film looks flat. No grain. Unacceptable.

they DNR'd the fuck out of it for sure. SOP for 4K releases unfortunately.

you're a fucking liar

>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

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.

It's incredible, yeah, thank god

Got mine off Amazon today. Last copy.

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.

>can now see every single strand of hair in gandalf's beard in crisp detail
feels fucking good

Is it based on theaticral version or extended
