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

No 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 entry-level option includes all three LotR theatrical cuts (with a few visual modifications) and... well, not much else. Hey, whaddya want? It's less than $20.

For an overview of all three films in this collection (not that you need one at this point), please read former Blu-ray.com writer Kenneth Brown's review of the Lord of the Rings Motion Picture Trilogy, originally released in 2010.

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

For an overview of the new 1080p transfers on these remastered theatrical Blu-rays, please 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, Special Features and Extras

This slim three-disc set ships in a hinged keepcase with simple, attractive cover artwork and a matching slipcover... unlike the obviously bulkier Extended Edition Blu-ray boxed set, which gives each film its own multi-disc keepcase. Also, unlike the much bulkier Middle Earth Ultimate Collector's Edition, no digital copy codes are included.

Not surprisingly, the bonus features are pretty much nil... only a handful of Trailers are included for each film, and that's all she wrote. It's a shame we couldn't at lease get the modest promotional extras included on the old theatrical cut Blu-rays, which included several EPK-style featurettes, a few related TV specials, and other odds and ends. These were originally collected on three bonus DVDs -- one per film -- and, given that the new Extended Edition includes the old bonus "appendice" DVDs, it's a shame this one didn't follow suit. (Perhaps rights issues with some of the material?) Either way, there's still almost 10 hours of movie content on this set, so not too bad for a budget release.
