Sound + Vision magazine ranked the 2010 release in their top five Blu-rays of the Year noting that it was one of only two releases to earn five stars for sound and calling it “breathtaking.” Now see and hear the extended trilogy at home the way it was meant to be seen, on Blu-ray Hi-Def. Based on the length of each extended edition feature film and in order to present each film in the highest possible picture quality, each film is presented on two Blu-ray discs. Special Features: The set boasts more than 26 hours of additional content, highlighted by the rare behind-the-scenes documentaries created by Costa Botes, the filmmaker given unprecedented access to the set of each production by Peter Jackson. Costa Botes was able to capture raw and riveting behind-the-scenes film footage. His unique approach to storytelling--allowing the footage to speak for itself--results in an intimate and candid backstage pass to the challenges, preparations and camaraderie that went into shooting the timeless trilogy. The feature-length documentaries, with more than four and a half hours of footage, focus on a number of complexities and circumstances that tested the filmmakers, cast and crew during the shoot, as well as a look at some of the comical antics and personal moments on the set. The Costa Botes documentaries accompany acclaimed special features by Michael Pellerin from the original extended cut releases to make this the most comprehensive The Lord of the Rings compilation ever. The Lord of the Rings Trilogy - The Extended Edition includes a new transfer of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring , which was remastered from the original 2k digital files, and it all comes in multi-disc elite packaging inside a premium rigid slipcase. Review: A must have for every LOtR Fan - The Lord of the Rings: The Motion Picture Trilogy – Extended Edition on Blu-ray is an outstanding boxset that delivers the films exactly as they deserve to be experienced—longer, richer, and presented with excellent picture and sound quality. This set includes the extended versions of all three films, each spread across two Blu-ray discs to preserve high quality, plus multiple bonus discs packed with some of the most in-depth behind-the-scenes material you’ll find in any film collection. The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) – The extended cut adds warmth and depth to the early chapters, giving more space to Hobbiton, Bree, and the journey through the Mines of Moria. Character arcs feel more complete, and the pacing benefits from the added world-building. The Blu-ray transfer brings out the lush colours, the sweeping landscapes, and Howard Shore’s incredible score with clarity. The Two Towers (2002) – This film gains some of the most valuable additions in extended form. Rohan’s storyline, Faramir’s motivation, and Gollum’s inner conflict are all strengthened. The battle sequences—especially Helm’s Deep—look and sound fantastic in HD, and the extra scenes make the emotional stakes even stronger. The Return of the King (2003) – The extended edition here is essential, adding crucial character moments, expanded battles, and a more satisfying sense of closure. The Siege of Minas Tirith and the Battle of Pelennor Fields feel even more epic, and the sound design on Blu-ray adds weight and immersion to the film’s biggest moments. This is the most complete version of the story, and it shows. As a boxset, this collection is exceptional. The packaging is attractive and sturdy, and the organisation of discs is clear and easy to navigate. The inclusion of the extensive “Appendices” documentaries provides hours of behind-the-scenes insights, covering everything from special effects to costume design, cast interviews and production diaries. It’s easily one of the most comprehensive bonus-feature collections available for any franchise. Overall, this trilogy set offers the best way to experience Peter Jackson’s masterpiece. The extended cuts add real narrative value, the Blu-ray presentation is strong across all films, and the bonus content elevates the set from a simple movie collection to a full, immersive exploration of Middle-earth. A must-have for fans and an excellent upgrade for anyone looking to enjoy the trilogy in its most complete form. Review: THE ULTIMATE EPIC IN CINEMATIC HISTORY & FUTURE - Lord of the Rings are the three of the best movies ever made. The epic scale is incomparible and the sheer beauty of these films is so unique and awe inspiring that they should be considered as the highest standard, the ten out of ten, the top dog of epic films. Peter Jackson introduces the world of Middle Earth to us in breathtaking and magnificent style, his eye for scenery and set pieces is amazing and he captures Tolkeins world in a raw, realistic and very believable way. All three of the films included in this extended edition boxset are amazing, and they get even better as they go along. Jackson who also wrote the script with fran walsh and philippa boyens has made Middle Earth accesible to millions of people, the books are considered classi and deservedly so but are hard for some people to get into and enjoy, here though the films allow us to be a part of Tolkeins legendary world and be thoroughly entertained. WETA workshop delivers truly stunning and very realistic special effects, the creatures and architecture are so detailed that looking at them you would not be able to pick them out from the real sets. As well as having awesome special effects the sets and scenery are breathtaking, filmed entirely in New Zealand allows for a majestic and sweeping view of Middle Earth that makes it all the more believable and epic. From Helm's Deep, the shire and Minas Tirith it's obvious that a lot of attention has been paid to making these films as epic and amazing as is possible. The cast is just as brilliant as everything else, Elijah Wood and Sean Astin as Frodo and Sam, Viggo Mortensen as Aragon, Ian Mckellen as Gandalf, Liv Tyler as Arwin, Cristopher Lee as Saruman, Orlando Bloom as Legolas, John Rhys Davis as Gimly and all the rest of the cast are perfectly suited for their roles. Its impossible not to be entertained by these films, each one of them delivers us into an astoundingly realistic and beautiful world where it is very easy to get lost in. Fellowship of the ring, Two towers and return of the king each are deserved of the countless awards they have won. This extended edition boxset of every movie is must have for any fan, the fact that over fourty minutes have been added to every film makes it a completely new experience - the additional footage is amazing and if you are considering buying this product i would strongly advise you to do so - it is also available at a very reasonable price as you get hours upon hours upon hours of extras. Jackson should be very proud of what he has achieved here, in creating these films he has changed the course of cinematic history, the present of cinematic history and the future of cinematic history. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | Andy Serkis, Billy Boyd, Dominic Monaghan, Elijah Wood, Fran Walsh, Ian McKellen, J.R.R.

They seem to be mostly for a different edition, so pay attention carefully before you order, as the editions reviewed here are a mixed lot, and this edition unjustifiably suffers from the resulting average rating. It seems that if a rating for this edition only was calculated, it would be much closer to 5-stars than the current 3.5. ****** 14/2/2012 UPDATE - Beginning *********************************************************** I can now see that Amazon has wisely split the reviews and instead of the more than 1200 reviews for all versions - the reviews are now solely for the extended edition, so the opening paragraph is no more relevant. Well done Amazon! The previous mix-up really gave a distorted picture. ***** 14/2/2012 UPDATE - END ****************************************************************** The set contains 12 DVD's divided to three high quality boxes, designed to give it a look of a leather bound cover, all protected by an outer firm cardboard cover. Each of the movies is more than 3 hours long, and considering the very high quality of picture and audio, they had to divide it to two DVD's, with the other two DVD's dedicated to appendices containing many superb extras. It's obvious that Peter Jackson and all those involved with the production of this extended version box set made their utmost efforts to produce a polished, rich and gratifying product. Each of the 3 boxes has an inner sleeve that contains a nice booklet, that gives all the details you need about the special extended edition and the appendices, followed by two detailed stylish foldout diagrams that map the entire extras' menus. A list of all the scenes is given along with a notation which is extended and which is new, thus I could easily sum it up: Fellowship of the Ring: 200 minutes in 48 scenes, with 30 min. of 20 extended and 7 new scenes (6 + Fan Club Credits) The Two Towers: 214 min. in 68 scenes, with 42 min. of 19 extended and 16 new scenes (15 + FCC) The Return of the King: 240 min. in 78 scenes, with 48 min. of 24 extended and 15 new scenes (14 + FCC) 4(!) different feature length prolific non-stop commentary tracks on each of the 3 films by: Director & Writers Design Team Production/Post Production Team The Cast While the commentaries are not subtitled, they are crystal clear ,easy to follow and highly interesting. This is a massively loaded set that will keep you busy for a long period of time...
