But there was a problem: for some reason, the color timing on the extended editions was altered and many scenes had a distracting green tint to them. This set contains both the theatrical and extended cuts of the film, and both of those cuts have been available on Blu-ray before. This is cause for celebration! On top of that, the 4K remastering process was overseen by Peter Jackson – and it shows. 'My captain.My king.' How can you not give in and embrace a series with scenes like that? It's a trilogy with one unifying message: no matter how dark things may get, there's some good in this world, and it's worth fighting for.Īt long last, the Lord of the Rings trilogy is on 4K. 'I would have followed you, my brother,' the dying man says. I'm forever in awe of the raw, unchecked emotion on display when the doubtful, suspicious, but ultimately heroic Boromir ( Sean Bean) dies in the arms of Aragorn ( Viggo Mortensen).

When these films kill off characters, it's often heartbreaking. Yes, in the end, the good guys win (that's not a spoiler at this point, don't even try to pretend it is), but there's monumental loss along the way. And sometimes we won't always get what we want. We want to see its heroes triumph, and we want the forces of evil to fall. But by following multiple characters across a long, arduous journey, the Lord of the Rings trilogy pulls us along with it. Sounds cut and dry, right? It is, in many ways. The story: when an ancient evil awakens, an unlikely group of heroes must try to stop it.
