The film’s color was then completely re-graded from the ground up, a process that included new grading for High Dynamic Range (both HDR10 and Dolby Vision options are available on these discs). Tolkien thought that his trilogy could never be filmed, partly because timelines overlap in different books; stories in Two Towers have parallel action in King.So each Wednesday throughout the year, we'll go there and back again, examining how and why the films have endured as modern classics.

This is the One Ring, created by the dark lord Sauron many thousands of years ago to enslave the world. For one thing, the soundstage is absolutely huge, and not just across the front—this is a truly complete and hemispheric sonic environment.Also in this section is a still gallery for Abandoned Concepts, featuring the talked about Slime Balrog.
