As The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey unfolded, there were many sequences which highlighted the manner in which the 4K not utilize a high-frame-rate (as was seen in select screenings during the original theatrical release). I doubt most fans will find fault with this role to recover lost treasure). What dangers await Bilbo Baggins as he treks forth outside of his quaint home in The Shire?

That leads to what might be the biggest criticism of The Hobbit Trilogy. The movies (as translated from J.R.R. Tolkien’s novels) follow so many of the same formulas as The Lord of the Rings Trilogy that it often does not seem original. At the crux of both tales we find an unlikely Hobbit leading an impossible adventure to complete an impossible task. Although, it’s worth mentioning Tolkien wrote “The Hobbit” years before “The Lord of the Rings.” The Hobbit films reach some of the highest levels of sharpness, clarity and luminance I’ve ever seen rendered on a 4k TV. If you’ve seen the imagery of the Dwarven mines that introduce ‘An Unexpected Journey’ you’ll know what I mean. Their beards glisten, their eyes sparkle, and mining work lights glow like gold on the walls behind them (see the film still). matter: there is no soap opera effect as a result. The movement of the cinematography looks outstanding. The Dol Gudur sequence is one that I was surprised to see cut from the theatrical version. It includes a character that would seemingly carry some weight within the storyline (especially in light of the newly added sequence in the film’s opening), and in watching it I am amazed how the editor was able to cut around it without leaving the sequence in tatters. Part of the reason for this decision seems to be the expectation that most fans purchasing the 4K discs will already own previous releases. AnotherMy experience with the new Dolby Atmos mixes for The Hobbit: The Motion Picture Trilogy was similar to that of those found on the Lord of the Rings: The Motion Picture Trilogy. Hence, I have included my comments from that review here.
The Hobbit 4K Review: Finally the Trilogy Looks Like Real Movies
The box looks great, goes with the LOTR 4K box, and it is priced well compared to other similar sets.
The Hobbit: The Motion Picture Trilogy 4K Blu-ray delivers truly amazing video and audio in this exceptional Blu-ray release Calibrated with Calman color calibration software and Portrait Displays C6 HDR2000 colorimeter from Portrait.com) Arriving on 4K UHD Blu-ray from Warner Bros., The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is presented in a 2160p HEVC / H.265 encode alongside remastered Blu-ray discs, and brand new bonus features. Despite the potential double (triple?) dip, these 4K presentations are factor to consider: Warner Bros has announced a mega Middle Earth collection will be released in the summer of 2021 (which will include

photography made a major difference to the presentation. From the opening scenes at The Shire, the beautiful landscapes are razor-sharp, the green The Hobbit: The motion Picture Trilogy comes to Ultra HD Blu-ray from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment featuring 2160pHEVC encoded video and lossless Dolby Atmos/TrueHD 7.1 channel sound. Bilbo performed by Martin Freeman is so good that the future trilogy may well become on a par with the existing one. A real treasure. Warner Bros has opted to not include any of the supplemental features found on the previous home-media release of The Hobbit: AnThe surround mixes effectively place effects/sounds within the soundstage which place you within the scene, in turn, adding an enriching element that heightens the intended feeling like something is passing overhead, traveling through the room, or emanating from a specific location. The series active moments, such as the encounter with the Goblins in the cave during the third act of An Unexpected Journey, or Bilbo’s interaction with Smaug in The Desolation of Smaug, swallow you up as the revolving, rotating and all-encompassing surround sound comes at you from all sides. The Hobbit, The: The Desolation of Smaug EXT- English SDH, Complex Chinese, Czech, Danish, Finnish, Italian SDH, Korean, Norwegian, Swedish, Polish, Thai, Castilian Spanish Audio on the 4K disc is included in English Dolby Atmos, essentially the same mix heard in theaters. And like the Atmos for An Unexpected Journey, this is a reference quality surround sound experience, with a fully hemispheric sonic environment. The soundstage is grand, with wonderful activity in the height channels throughout the film—and especially as Smaug stalks the halls of Erebor during the film’s climax. The dialogue is clean, clear, and full sounding, while music and effects offer lovely fidelity. Channel to channel movement is natural and lively, particularly appreciated in moments like the barrel chase from Thranduil’s Silvan Elves in Mirkwood. And the dynamics are tremendous, with muscular bass. This mix dazzles in moments of bluster and calm alike; just listen as Bilbo and Smaug scamper over the piles of gold and jewels in Erebor, with the metallic slush of treasure sliding and shifting all around. The only additional audio option on the 4K EXTENDED EDITION disc is French 7.1 DTS-HD Master Audio, while the optional subtitles include English for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, French, Dutch, and Spanish. (Note that these options are different than those for An Unexpected Journey above.) Additional audio options on the 4K THEATRICAL CUT disc include French 7.1 DTS-HD Master Audio and Spanish 5.1 Dolby Digital, with optional subtitles in English for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, French, Dutch, and Spanish. Warner’s new 4K Ultra HD release includes both the Theatrical Cuts and Extended Editions of each film, each version included on a single UHD disc. That’s different than The Lord of the Rings Trilogy: Extended Editions, which are split over two discs on UHD, as they were on Blu-ray. Presumably, that’s because the films were digitally captured, so can be more easily compressed without compromising quality. Let’s take a look at the A/V quality of each remastered film one by one…
