Is the 2010 the extended or is it just theatrical? I have the 2012 blu rays for extended, but the colors look awful. And Max only has the 4K for extended. Does 2010 come in extended?
@@elicortez446 2010 is j theatrical. The 2011 Extended blu rays were the ones to add the color grading. Also I believe its limited to extended because my 2012 theatrical blu ray does not have the blue/greenish tint. The newer remastered extended blu ray has a better color grading but im not too sure how good it rlly is
Sadly just the theatrical cut, though fans have tried to transfer the color grade onto the extended cut. You may want to watch a recent video called sth. like: Can The Lord of the Rings ever be remastered?
It's truly disappointing. The 4K is just recoloring over the 2012 green tint Blu-ray. It is not a new scan. It's not the same when you add another layer of red or blue tint to counter it.
so happy i got the original extended on dvd. wish they gave us a 2010 version of the extended on bluray though. not a fan of 2020 version, but at least they tried to fix it a little. the 2012 is awful and kind of mad at myself for buying it back in the day.
4K release looks so BLAND and non-vibrant with colors. I mean, these aren't the most light hearted whimsical of fantasy movies, but they're certainly not documentaries of New Zealand that need realistic colors. Those original colors were fine.
Great way of putting it. The original colour filters helped set the scene. The new natural ones may be better for HDR I guess, but it pulls you out of the fantasy.
If you've seen this movie in a theater recently (which used the 4K remaster) you'd be saying otherwise. I've never seen the movie look as good as it did there. That being said, after doing some research, I will be getting the 2010 Blu-ray, since it's so nostalgic, but also doesn't have the green tint.
Can someone explain why no one EVER mentions the Blu ray extended version REMASTERED ?? Is it even real ?? I keep seeing ads to buy this exact version but somehow can't get a review anywhere. It seems to be a recent release and it is definitely not the 4K UHD version. If someone out there has seen it, how does it compare to the classic blu-ray and the 4K UHD versions ?
Yes it does exist, it has the same changes of the 4k remaster, but wether it looks better than the 2012 blu ray is a matter of preference, i heard the audio balance was better on the remastered version, and contrast was better. I personally prefer the color correction of the remaster
I know this comment is 6 months old. For what it's worth, I just received this version and will be returning it. For some reason, the DVD's actually sound significantly better on my surround sound than this version. Based on the screen grabs in this video, I'll either keep what I have or look for the 2010 Blu-Ray. The infamous green tint in the 2012 is pretty noticeable here, and I don't think I prefer the 4K color grades vs the older versions.
2010 best It kept the charm of the original and improved it. The 2012 is worse, the 2022 is ok, but the calibration that gives the charm and the fantastic side is no longer the
2010 it's the best and i think sdr works better for this old movies than hdr, the 4k version tries to "modernize" them trying to make them look like they have a more digital touch like the hobbit, I don't really know how to explain it.
It seems like the DVD still remains the best version thats been released on home video. The 2010 Blu Ray was clearly a 1080p upscale of the DVD, and the 2012 Blu Ray and 4K releases look awful
The 2012 one is from the extended version of The Fellowship of the Ring. All the extended version of FOTR Blu-ray have this disastrous green tint. Only the first movie. The other two extended Blu-ray sequels have a bit of color tinkering but not as obvious. What they did for the 4K was instead of rescanning a new transfer, they recolored it back to the 2010 look probably by adding a red tint and this is as close as it can get. It's not the same. The DVD's fortunately can still be viewed in it's original colors.
The 2010 Blu-ray is just a Blu-ray made from the old, 2K-ish video master. The DVD is just a lower res copy of said master and is in no way better then the 2010 Blu-ray. I've seen this movie countless times and I must say, when the 4K version was shown in theaters in 2023, it looked amazing. Looking at comparisons on a non-HDR screen can be useful but it will only get you so far when it comes to knowing what the movie actually looks like when shown in HDR and on the big screen. That being said, I'm going to find the 2010 steelbook, for nostalgia reasons. :)
Yes it does.. in my opinion it takes a way a part of the fantasy. You remember that scene where Argorn is dead? In an old version it had a blueish tint.. in the new 4k version its to white.
2010 bluray may be the way i like the colors sentimentally, but when i play the 4k version with the cinema setting on my tv (as one always should with movies) and increase tv saturation by turning the color up from 40 to 50 percent the colors look good and warm. In many ways the 4k is superior because of Dolby Vision HDR and Atmos for sound.
1:52 Gandalf looks soooo dark on my hdr, almost no shadow under his hat. Just downloaded and this is the moment I understood I HATE HDR. Right now I downloaded both FullHD SDR and 4K HDR variant. SDR looks so much better. My monitor supports HDR10 but still it looks artificial. It's a shame I cant' watch LOTR in 4k with SDR
They COULD have simply up-scaled the crisp, detailed, filmic 2K master and NOT have applied DNR and sharpening and instead only make the color corrections to not have it be all geen, but no....
Slow and repetitive, made it tough to follow the plot. Also the subtitles confuses me... maybe they were in spanish by mistake, lol. Loved the soundtrack, very suspenseful. 7/10.

Please do the rest of the trilogy
Yes please do
I’ll be your sub if you do. I LOVE these vids. Better than most others by far
Just finished watching the entire 2020 version, and I have to say, it is my absolute favorite.
2010 blu ray is thee best for color

Those 2010 Blu-Ray versions must be like gold dust. As for the 2012 ones... good lord they screwed up

You are watching this on a HDR monitor, aren't you? TH-cam should say "HDR" in the bottom corner instead of "HD"
Great way of putting it. The original colour filters helped set the scene. The new natural ones may be better for HDR I guess, but it pulls you out of the fantasy.
@@DanHall64 I'm watching with HDR on, and it does look bland. Needs the original filters back.

Because the film grain cleaning is poor and has many artefacts and looks weird in movement of faces etc.

I think it's the 20th anniversary edition Blu ray. It has the enhanced Dolby Atmos track included similar to the 4k release
And is it worth it. Are you talking about the lotr and hobbit extend 30 discs bluray set? @@datubeda
La version HDR 2020 para mi es la mejor. Miremos el minuto 3:23. Alli apreciamos el cielo de un color excelente.
I prefer the old version, it seems to take place before sunset, I find it better

2010 is the best version
How does the 4K at 3:00 look so bad compared to the others?
It looks a lot darker, and almost washed out. One of the reason I hate 4K UHD discs over Blu-rays is that they are so much darker. It drives me nuts.
@@MegaIkedog With a hint of Noise Reduction to boot.
its because it's designed for much brighter tvs! it doesnt look blad then displayed on a 1000 nit oled screen
I think you're confusing "bad" with accurate. The other three versions are over saturated.
It's likely because the youtube video isn't in HDR but the 4k disc is.
Problem of 4k is , it just makes the image too bright
Yes it does.. in my opinion it takes a way a part of the fantasy.
You remember that scene where Argorn is dead? In an old version it had a blueish tint.. in the new 4k version its to white.
Does the 2011 Blu ray extended edition box setversion have the ugly colors or the original colors?
Ugly
I don't know about you but I find the 2002 DVD holding things down quite well......
Why would any of the blu-ray be in SDR?
SDR stands for standard dynamic range. That's usually what all non UHD blu-rays come in.
you're confusing SDR/HDR with SD and HD. The former refers to dynamic range, the latter refers to resolution. All the Blu-rays are HD or above.
2010 bluray may be the way i like the colors sentimentally, but when i play the 4k version with the cinema setting on my tv (as one always should with movies) and increase tv saturation by turning the color up from 40 to 50 percent the colors look good and warm. In many ways the 4k is superior because of Dolby Vision HDR and Atmos for sound.
I have to go with the DVD.
why ? Blu ray and 4k are better quality
the 2010 version is identical
@@bleack8701 to what? 2010 blu ray verison is not the same as dvd ....
Should've gone to Specsavers.

HDR is amazing, blame your screen not the technology. It looks stunning on a good hdr panel

Witch version is on Prime Vidéo ?
looks like the DVD version theatrical cut
Just stick with the 2010 Theatrical version
Was there a blue Ray version in 2010 and 2012?
2010 => theatrical version; 2012 => extended edition
None of them are good, honestly :D but I like the video hahaha
I prefer vhs.
2002 DVD SDR was the best
Game of throuns please next
4k > 2010 blu ray > dvd > 2012 blu ray
