together dwarves, orcs, elves, wizards, and even a special Hobbit – Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman). No fan of The Lord of the The Hobbit films are, for the most part, lighter than LOTR with more comedic moments (many involving Dwarves) and goofy characters like the Great Goblin and Alfred (assistant to the Master of Lake-town) who seems to pop up everywhere and probably lives longer than he should have. The character is almost a carbon copy of Grima Wormtongue (the evil advisor to King Théoden) from The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers who you wish would go away but critical to the plot. Another element of the presentation which impressed me was the manner in which the special effects were handled. I had lower expectations for

The Hobbit 4K Review: Finally the Trilogy Looks Like Real Movies

Comparing the DV and HDR10 presentations for each of film in this trilogy, I found the HDR renderings to be similar. Each title looked solid on both formats with respect to the reproduction of HDR. I felt that the each handled of the finest details in shadows, delineation in specular highlights and, gradations in variants of color equally. You can’t go wrong with either.

Bilbo’s first entry into the lair of Smaug in the Lonely Mountain showcases a wide dynamic range of frequencies and object placement in Atmos and surround effects. The sound of gold coins, Smaug’s voice, and the echoes of the dwarven kingdom engulfed in flames are great sources of multi-channel and object-based audio. Extras While some might argue it doesn't match the quality of craftsmanship displayed in the masterful The Lord of the Rings series, the prequel the experience even more rewarding. Though this stands as the shortest extended cut in the Middle Earth saga, the additional comedic moments alone The Hobbit: The Motion Picture Trilogy 4K Blu-ray delivers truly amazing video and audio in this exceptional Blu-ray release

Review of The Hobbit Trilogy on 4k Ultra HD Blu-ray

It was indeed shot that way, but at a framerate that UHD disc doesn't support (48fps) so that complicates matters. Creating a 60p version that properly replicates the 48p experience without adding additional judder and thus negating the whole point of HFR is going to be a biatch.

Whether it's Howard Shore's score or the many action sequences, acoustical details in the upper ranges display outstanding distinction and definition, allowing for each death yell of the Orcs and every clash of metal swords to be heard with amazing precision and directionality. The sizzle of Smaug's fiery breadth is discrete and accurate as it echoes throughout the room and into the top heights, creating an awesome half-dome soundstage. All the while, dialogue remains precise and very well-prioritized amid the loudest, chaotic segments. (Dolby Atmos Audio Rating: 96/100)" [Excerpt from our review for The Battle of Five Armies]

The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies brings to an epic conclusion the adventure of Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman), Thorin Oakenshield (Richard Armitage) and the Company of Dwarves. The Dwarves of Erebor have reclaimed the vast wealth of their homeland, but now must face the consequences of having unleashed the terrifying Dragon, Smaug, upon the defenseless men, women and children of Lake-town. The sequence with Beorn involves Gandalf breaking the news to him that he has uninvited houseguests, that just happen to be Dwarves, followed by each introducing themselves (much to his dismay). The extended Mirkwood sequence follows the group as they contend with the forests maze and in particular crossing a dangerous stream, forewarned to them by Gandalf prior to his departure. There is some minor connective tissue in each of these extended scenes but neither adds anything appreciable of note save for some entertaining levity during the Beorn exchange.
