The Lord of the Rings Trilogy has officially launched a spectacular 4K Blu-ray collection, now available for just $55. This eye-catching deal matches last year’s Black Friday price, allowing fans to experience Peter Jackson’s acclaimed adaptations of The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King in stunning UHD resolution.
This collection features both theatrical and extended cuts, with the extended versions providing an additional two hours of content. For those who miss the extended cuts, this is a remarkable opportunity to delve deeper into the epic tales of Middle-earth.
Additionally, fans can enhance their collection by pairing The Lord of the Rings Trilogy with Jackson’s adaptation of The Hobbit for a total price of $59.
Notably, the 4K UHD upgrade brings Middle-earth to life with breathtaking visual and audio improvements, featuring Dolby Vision HDR10 and Dolby Atmos 5.1 surround sound. However, the new collection does not include vouchers for digital versions of the films.
The extended editions significantly extend the runtime of each film:
- The Fellowship of the Ring: 208 minutes (3 hours and 28 minutes)
- The Two Towers: 223 minutes (3 hours and 43 minutes)
- The Return of the King: 251 minutes (4 hours and 11 minutes)
When combined, the total runtime of the extended versions extends to a staggering 11 hours and 22 minutes, complementing the theatrical cuts.
For fans of the franchise, a Walmart-exclusive 4K Limited Edition Steelbook of The Fellowship of the Ring is now available for $35. It includes the same 4K remaster as the box set but also provides a digital edition voucher.
If you do not own a 4K media player, several standard Blu-ray collections of The Lord of the Rings are available, including a remastered trilogy set for only $18.19. The remastered versions offer enhanced quality, officially released to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Fellowship of the Ring.
Additionally, The Hobbit Trilogy is accessible for just $16.36 for the theatrical collection or $30 for the extended collection at Walmart.
In exciting news for Tolkien enthusiasts, The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim, the first anime film set in Middle-earth, is set to release on 4K Blu-ray and standard Blu-ray on February 18. Multiple editions, including a 4K Limited Edition Steelbook, are currently available for preorder.
This upcoming release is adapted from the appendices of The Lord of the Rings, further enriching the cinematic legacy of Tolkien’s works. Fans interested in exploring Tolkien’s universe can also find great deals on the newly released hardcover Collector’s Editions of the original novels.
