The Lord Of The Rings Extended - Page 161

I don't remember exactly what it looked like in theaters, but I HIGHLY doubt that it looked my blu ray looks. The look of the blu ray is very distinctive.

yeah i just watch LOTR extended blu-ray today. The first movie has a huge green push with my 60" ST30 calibrated with DNICE settings.. Looks gawd awful during the day. Maybe at night it will be a different story. I am highly considering going LED just because everything will pop more then the plasma. I saw real steal on blu-ray with a samsung D6000 and it looked quite amazing however there was serious motion issues. Everything looked fake when the actors moved. Guess im not used to it..
Are they going to be re releasing this blu-ray set with the correct original color? Because it makes me sick how they destroyed this movie.
Warner brothers really sucks also when it comes to blu-ray transfers . i tend to stay away from them completely when buying blu-rays..

Without having to read through 160 pages of this thread, has Jackson ever directly addressed this issue (the green tint with FOTR)? If it's what he wanted, he should simply say so, and that would pretty much be the end of it. If he has remained silent on the issue, one tends to infer that this an error or decision made without Jackson's approval...

You won't have to read through 160 pages because the last person to ask this very same question showed up only a couple of pages ago. Have fun doing your own research.

Wasn't asking someone to do research on my behalf. Just asking a simple question thinking that an AVS member that's kept up with this issue would be friendly enough to give a brief yet definitive reply...

AFAIK, no, he hasn't actually make a statement.

Like that matters. Trust me, it wasn't that green in the theaters.

My Fellowship EE looks fine on my calibrated Sony 46NX720. I got my set for Christmas so it was purchased at end of November/early December through Amazon.

You may think it looks fine, but in all likelihood it is not. If you can post screen captures, I think you'll end up disappointed. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news...

It looks "fine" to your eyes. Good for you. Unfortunately, that doesn`t help the rest of us. And it doesn`t help the fact that I`ll never purchase a film from Warner Brothers or Peter Jackson again.

Wait...I'm sorry...what? Given all the stellar WB releases, you will never purchase one again?

Really?

Actually he probably neglected to mention that his copy of Fellowship is on DVD, so it really is fine

I`m offended with the way that not one but TWO consecutive Bluray releases of my favourite film of all time have been treated, and don`t see why I should reward them.

Reward them? It's not a pet you present with a treat. Your decision though. I would much rather judge each release separately and decide if want to purchase or not. I can't really imagine a scenario where I would boycott a studio.

wb has a consistent history of releasing substandard br transfers of their films.

while i would not endorse a blanket boycott on purchasing any br they release, i will follow the motto, please proceed with caution and purchase at your own risk.

WB own HBO, and HBO has put out some excellent blu ray releases.

Of course it matters. If you have no memory of it other than to speculate what it should have been or what is was, why should I trust you about how it looked in theaters compared to the BD?

If I were to tell you that I saw them last year or 10 years ago, you wouldn't trust me. I'm super sensitive to visuals that are off. I recently saw the blu-ray at a friends house and didn't want to watch any more. The darkness and green instantly set off alarms. The theater versions looked great. Either way, the green has pretty much been proven to exist in this thread. FIX IT JACKSON.

All you have to do is pop in the theatrical blu ray and then the EE and you can clearly see the difference.

ok morph.

i can live with that

He made a claim about the original theatrical visuals in the theater not the differences in the two versions of the BD. No way I can buy his memory, 1 year or 10 year old or last months.

so besides obvious differences in picture quality, the colors are same as the ee dvd as blu-ray for me. thanks for telling me i can't see right.

Don't kill the messenger.

The following is a certifiable and proven fact:

Fellowship of the Ring is mostly consistent across the Theatrical DVD, Extended DVD, and Theatrical Blu-ray. The Extended Blu-ray has black crush and green tint - but is much sharper than the Theatrical Blu-ray thanks to the lack of DNR.

I would suggest (only a suggestion) that this thread be locked until there is real evidence of either A) Peter Jackson or the studio officially commenting on the change of color/contrast; B) a re-release that fixes said problems.

The past 100 pages are redundant with the same evidence, arguments, and personal attacks cycling over and over.

I stand by my claim. Let's say your right though, and my memory or evaluation is incorrect, what's your point other than to niggle me.

Let this topic never die.

I gotcha and you're right. I am only going off that nobody seemed to complain that The theatrical blu ray was off compared to The theater version so it's a good control subject.

How is it a "certifiable proven fact" if like you have acknowledged above Peter Jackson or the Studio hasn't commented?

LOL, this cracks me up every time I see it. Why someone feels the need to end a discussion (on a discussion forum for Christ's sake) simply because he or she finds it redundant or uninteresting is hilarious.

If you aren't interested in the subject don't click on the link (only a suggestion)

Let's say the black crush and green tint are intended. That doesn't change the fact that they exist in this version, and not on others. The studio and/or Jackson commenting on it has nothing to do with that fact.

So, who has has certified it?

If some say that can't see it I would hardly call that a "proven certifiable fact"
