Lord of the Rings Trilogy (Theatrical Versions) - April 6, 2010

Good points raised by mjbethancourt,Dnr like most digital tools can have positive effects,and like he said most consumers prefer a small ammount of Dnr,this is because a lot of consumers see film grain as a bad picture.

And lets be honest here Dnr is used in post production as well,so it's not always a Blu-ray transfers fault.

If its one blu ray that could have used a little DNR its Ghosbusters

"nearly 100 hours cleaning and doing color corrections"???

that's nothing....2 guys doing a week's work..at most.

i worked more hours digitally cleaning low budget Canadian films (like "Ginger Snaps" for example) at Technicolor in Toronto.

100 hours on LOTR is disgraceful...this is clearly a half-assed product and a greedy move.

[jonmoz]

I quite like the Ghosbusters Blu-ray,but a little Dnr would have helped on the Library scenes in particular.

[jonmoz]

TrenchRun,regarding the 100 hours cleaning and restoring,it seems your main gripe with this is it took them a week,what if they took a little longer,you know say they spread the 100 hours over say like three weeks !!!

FOTR + a "little DNR" =

Maddame Taussad's Presents Bag End!

It's nowhere near that bad, to be honest, all 4 of the Hobbits' faces look a bit waxy in all 4 films but that's probably the makeup department's fault.

[jonmoz]

I must admit to not seeing this waxwork type effect people keep bringing up,you can however make out the layers of Max factor.

[dborgill]

I didn't notice hardly any "wax" or horrible scenes in TTT like I did in FOTR. Sorry Stormcrow

My take = Marketing ploy after reading FOTR reviews online

[jonmoz]

Only Joking TrenchRun,but with the three movies having heavy postproduction done on them to achive their fairytale look, it's a miracle they could find a 100 hours work to do,i think someone has been making up their own timesheets at Warner.

And to be fair if Warner were making this up to counter poor reviews and forum unease,you would think they would come up with a longer time than a 100 hours.

I've seen many people in real life who look like they've had DNR applied to their faces. Seriously.

If I do rent them sooner than I am planning, it wont be this weekend......My hearing is all messed up (I have that muffled type thing going) from some sort of bug I caught and I want my ears 100% when I sink into these 3 I think I am working anyway, atleast Saturday and Sunday is out.

Considering the HDTV vs blu ray shots, I would say definitely not, but that is up for debate as well.
