New Years and LOTR on 4 K
« on: January 02, 2022, 04:42:39 PM »
I will be watching LOTR extended on 4 K this new years for the first time. My oldest son is coming home and staying the weekend and me, the wife, and our four kids will be eating pizza, chips, soda, candy, and other delicious type food while watching FOTR on our new 4 k tv tonight. Tomorrow, it will be more of the same. i think hotdogs baked beans chips etc while watching the two towers. My kids are not nearly as excited as i am but i have already told them they have no choice in the matter, same goes for my wife.

If i really push my luck on Sunday we will watch ROTK.

So we just finished  TT and I have to say I can never watch LOTR on anything but 4 k from here on out. It just won't be the same. I love it and recommend it to anyone

What is 4K, exactly? Is it a better resolution than 3K? 

I'm a LOTR fan too. Watch the series at least once a year.

Glad you enjoyed it.  Unfortunately, my experience has been just the opposite.  I read the books in the early 90's.  Upon watching FOTR, though, I found it too fast-paced and so much was cut (gutted?) from the books, that I did not at all enjoy the movie. Mind you, I don't consider Jackson's attempt to be a complete failure, it's just that there's too much in each of the books to pack into a 2 - 3 hour feature.  Each book could easily (and should) be a 10-12 episode series. Think three (or four if you want to include "The Hobbit") seasons.  Short of that, I'm just going to stick with the books.

Yes, it is basically just ultra high definition but it makes a big difference with LOTR as they went though and updated it.
