The Lord of the Rings: The Motion Picture Trilogy Blu-ray Review

Extras? No problem.

Reviewed by Randy Miller III, November 17, 2021

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of The Fellowship of the Ring's theatrical debut, Warner Bros. has issued remastered Blu-rays of all three films in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. These new discs are sourced from the same recent masters as 2020's 4K trilogy set and are also available in the 31-disc Middle Earth Ultimate Collector's Edition, which combines the LotR and Hobbit trilogies on 4K and remastered Blu-ray. This 15-disc set includes all three LotR Extended Edition cuts as well as the extras from previous releases, including recycled copies of the "appendice" bonus DVDs.

For an overview of all three Extended Edition films in this collection (not that you need one at this point), please read the separate reviews written by former Blu-ray.com scribe Kenneth Brown back in 2012.

The Fellowship of the Ring Extended Edition

The Two Towers Extended Edition

The Lord of the Rings: The Motion Picture Trilogy Blu-ray, Video Quality

4.0 of 5

For an overview of the new 1080p transfers on these remastered Extended Edition Blu-rays, see my comments in the Middle Earth Ultimate Collector's Edition (trust me, they're in there somewhere). Overall, I found these transfers to be decent to moderate upgrades over the previous Blu-ray editions, with the caveat that they suffer from the same (and occasionally excessive) use of digital noise reduction as their 4K counterparts. Additionally, some of the color grading is different from the previous Blu-rays and DVDs, and the flashbacks from _The Fellowship of the Ring_and The Two Towers are heavily desaturated to match the more black-and-white aesthetic of scenes from the Hobbit films.

The Lord of the Rings: The Motion Picture Trilogy Blu-ray, Overall Score and Recommendation

4.0 of 5

While all three of Warner Bros.' recent Lord of the Rings 20th Anniversary packages (the entry-level theatrical cut Blu-ray set, this beefier Extended Edition Blu-ray boxed set, and the whopping Middle Earth Ultimate Collector's Edition) are each a little disappointing in one way or another, this option is perhaps the closest thing to an actual upgrade rather than a side-step. The 1080p transfers (soured from the same new masters as the 4K discs) will ruffle a few feathers but stand up proportionately well to their 2160p counterparts, you still get the Dolby Atmos audio mixes, and of course this is the only option that actually includes all the original extras. (Whose call was that?) Unless you're already all-in on the 4K discs and also own the previous Blu-rays -- for the extras, of course -- it's worth a purchase.
