Watching the Lord of the Rings in 1080p blu-ray format is the best experience I have in my home theatre. The Lord of the Rings - Special Extended Edition is the best blu-ray movie released yet.
With over 20 hours of extra features on top of the movie itself.
Peter Jackson's interpretation of the book comes alive. In stunning 1080p, the picture is pristine. With 6.1 DTS-HD Master Audio, it makes me feel I am part of the movie itself. What makes the 6.1 DTS-HD Master Audio different is that the sound is focused on the dialogues. Sure It will work on a 5.1 Surround Channel, the movie is still the same. Indeed, a "Masterpiece" as IGN would state in their review.
It's not just the picture that makes it great, but also the sound.
One feature that falls short though is that the extra features on the disc is in standard definition DVDs. Pretty much the extras you'll find in the DVD extended edition already released.
The difference between the extended edition and the original motion picture release is that, the transfers in the extended edition was supervised by Peter Jackson himself, and the result is a whole new movie far different to the big screen.
If you're looking for a good blu-ray boxset, this Christmas and still have not bought this. It's a must not just for fanboys but also for home theater enthusiasts.
Overall, the Lord of the Rings - Special Extended Edition is a must have.
