"Sitting there watching The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, I was kinda dumbfounded at how fantastic this thing looked and how – most importantly – it looked like a movie. The gorgeous 4K remaster (overseen by Jackson) maintains the painterly details of the CG background work while seamlessly combining them with the practical sets and actors, a juggling act that was bungled in the previous releases of these movies. Something always felt “off,” but now they finally feel like they somewhat fit into the world Jackson first created with the Lord of the Rings trilogy."
This is from a review on Collider where just before this paragraph, he mentions HFR and how it made the films feel. I'm baffled considering the films on Blu Ray were in 24fps and look great, and here he keeps going on about how the 4K discs make the films look like "real movies".
Anyone owning the discs can tell me if there's some secret magic sauce to the 4K Hobbit discs or this is just silly hyperbole? Or did they refine the VFX?
