The Hobbit: The Motion Picture Trilogy 4K Blu-ray Movie Review
The Middle Earth prequel saga receives a stunning 4K UHD upgrade.
Reviewed by Neil Lumbard December 2, 2020Let's go there and back again. The Hobbit Trilogy returns with a brand-new 4K restoration supervised by director Peter Jackson. The mammoth cinematic undertaking was no small feat. Originating as a standalone adaptation of the novel by J.R.R. Tolkien before being expanded to two-films (and then ultimately three), Jackson's prequel trilogy sets the stage for the events to come in his epic masterwork, The Lord of the Rings trilogy. The Middle Earth saga has now become one of the most beloved fantasy series in the history of the motion-picture.
Starting with the fun adventure of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, continuing in the much-darker The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, and concluding with the epic send-off that is The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, Jackson brings together dwarves, orcs, elves, wizards, and even a special Hobbit – Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman). No fan of The Lord of the Rings should go without experiencing the high-adventure of the prequel saga and the 4K UHD presentations are the best available to date. Essential.
There and back again... the entire adventure in stunning 4K UHD.

The Hobbit: The Motion Picture Trilogy 4K Blu-ray Movie, Special Features and Extras
There are no extras included in The Hobbit: The Motion Picture Trilogy 4K collection. Warner Bros has decided to not include any previous supplemental features. The assumption is that most fans already own previous editions of the trilogy and therefore don't need re-packaged discs with the supplements.
Note: Warner Bros will release an ultimate Middle Earth six-film collectors edition in the summer of 2021. The complete set with contain brand new supplemental features (which are currently still in production).
The Hobbit: The Motion Picture Trilogy 4K Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation
The Hobbit: The Motion-Picture Trilogy is one of the most exciting, action-packed, and adventurous sagas in the history of cinema. While some might argue it doesn't match the quality of craftsmanship displayed in the masterful The Lord of the Rings series, the prequel Hobbit films trounce nearly every-other big-budget fantasy spectacle out there. While I was a bit skeptical about how much I would enjoy the 4K UHD presentations (as the 3D presentations are spectacular), it turns out the 4K encodes are truly magnificent. Each presentation has greater detail and wider color than any other previous presentation. The HDR grading significantly enhances each feature-film in the trilogy.
Fans should note that Warner Bros plans to release a mega set in the summer of 2021 featuring all six Middle Earth feature-films on 4K, alongside remastered Blu-ray discs, and brand new bonus features. Despite the potential double (triple?) dip, these 4K presentations are spectacular and the best that the films have ever looked. Each Hobbit feature-film has received a reference-grade 4K presentation.
