Technically those colours are more "real" I guess, but why do remasters frick with the colour grading so much? And usually it's not even like this, but they make it more orange or blue.
It's to do with the age of the person doing the remaster.
When you are younger the lenses on our eyes are quite a blueish tint, but as you she the tiny gets more orange rather than blue. You don't notice it going along in day to day life, because you are constantly looking though your eyes and the process is very gradual plus your brain is compensating for it all the time as it processes the information going to your eyes.
It's a bit of a mind duck that not everyone sees the same colour or shade you do when you both look at the same picture, but that is what is going on. One person will look at it and prevalence the colours so it looks like how they remember it and another will look a the results and say it looks too blue or red, because it was compensated for another person's eyes.
Film makers often use this effect in reverse though, that's why typically a flashback scene will have a sort of blue filter on it or a scene with an old man sat by a fire in their retirement will have an amber filter to it.
Because these older movies were filmed before true HDR equipment existed. So to do a remaster for UHD and HDR, digital post-processing occurs by kids who had nothing to do with the original production.
>why do remasters frick with the colour grading so much?
Normally it's an opportunity to finalize a film and make it what the director feels it should have and should always look like.
With Lord of the Rings in particular though, I think they intentionally frick with the look over and over again to get fans to rebuy every new release. It's too good of a racket to pass up.
I watched the theatrical cut first but the extended editions add so many good scenes I can't imagine the movies without them anymore. But I do understand that they might make it too long for a first time watcher.
This. Extended cuts are too long and stretch it out needlessly. Theatrical is best.
Eh, extended cut wastes your time. Theatrical cuts are perfect except for the third one being too long.

some of the cut scenes are bad/unnecessary, but about half of them need to be there for you to really understand the plot. stuff like characters' motivations, necessary lore, etc.
plus they're good enough movies that you're cheating yourself out of hours of kino if you watch the shortened versions your first time.

Theatrical, it's the intended watch for first timers. Meaning the extended scenes doesn't add to the plot, it's all fluff.
And all fluff is better for a rewatch someday, because you'll find new things on something old and good.
Give your future self something extra to look forward too, if you enjoyed the theatrical cut.
You can even watch them all together on youtube as extra lore.

Extended for fellowship
Theatrical for TT and ROTK
I was surprised how bad the extended editions of those were. 95% of what was cut was a good call.
extended fellowship is perfect, TTT and ROTK have always had some qustionable additions and feel much more bloated.
I don't remember which one or was it the first two that pretty much just repeated some information dump scene about Aragorn and Arwen twice in two variations. When the trees attack Saruman's army the CG's not finished. The extendeds are very rough, I wouldn't recommend them.
laserdisc (for its time) had the highest quality stereo sound you could get. I remember for a LONG time, the only definitive way to watch the og star wars trilogy was on ld
only the extended fellowship blue ray, TTT and ROTK are fine, there was a last minute production error that put certain filters across everything instead of whatever scene it was meant for and they didn't catch it before the discs were printed.
>there was a last minute production error that put certain filters across everything instead of whatever scene it was meant for and they didn't catch it before the discs were printed.

Yeah I fricking hate it, I saw it in theaters and own the DVD and it was so much more colorful than the version we have now.
I fricking hate this color grading meme.

sometimes technology really does save the day.
(don't even bother arguing unless you've seen all 3 versions)
I actually had to play bluray and the 4k udh so-called-remastered side by side when i noticed somethings wrong to confirm that im not moronic and the movie didnt look like this originally lol
They not only fricked up color grading but also brightness. They made everything dark as frick too for some reason
I don't even know what's the original look anymore. I checked out three or so different versions of Jurassic Park and they all looked different.
I kind of stopped caring after that, but I don't understand why is this even a thing. It looks different on streaming, different on bluray and different on my old DVD.
I have the trilogy on 4K blu-ray. It's easily a top-3 discs I have seen on the format yet. Truly excellent. People have to come to realize that a lot of DVD and 1080p blu-ray content was fricked up and NOT what the filmmakers intended. 8-bit really fricks up color.
>artist creates something >20, 30 etc years pass >some random moron, often with no connection at all to the original artist >'actually they would've wanted it done this way' >'look everyone it's REMASTERED now' >original version becomes less common than this moron's fan edit
The warm glow of Rivendale makes the scene. They are in a comfortable safe place discussing the most harrowing journey one can take and the contrast really highlights the sacrifice the fellowship is making. That second frame looks like they are trying to match it to the disgusting Hobbit films.
The biggest sin of the 4K releases isn't the terrible new color grading, it's the fact that they aren't scanned from the original film negatives, but are just AI upscaled from 1080p and the massive digital noise reduction has completely eliminated all the film grain and made everyone's face waxy
What? People have been complaining about the shitty color grading on the EE Blu-rays for so long and now that it's better some people want it back? Some even did restoration projects to bring back the original colors.
I hate how these 4k versions don't look like the originals, they look like someone trying to de-colour the coloured versions. Same with the Matrix. It doesn't look like the pre-greened version, it looks like someone tried to poorly de-green the greened version.
>poorly de-green
you don't even know what you're saying
reloaded and revolutions were more colorful when inside the matrix scenes
but even first movie is fricking blue or something
new uhd crap is soulless like lotr now
>original is not grade
You're a fricking moron.
Friendly reminder that the entirety of LOTR is heavily digitally color graded from the very start.
Jackson proudly digitally color graded the very first print, not only does the extended edition have digital color grading but even what you saw in theatres had heavy DIGITAL color grading, especially the second and third installment.

ROTK: don't watch

I havent watched the movie in more than a decade but some scenes look better in different versions than the other and it's not consistent, based on the screenshots
Zoomers have no right to an opinion about LOTR since they are soulless zealots who have grown up with no kino in their generation and leech off our shit.

Bravo to everyone involved.
I don't even understand what you're trying to say. Did I adjust my tv color settings? Yes. What am I supposed to do? Get some color swatches for movies and color match it with my settings?
So you attempted to lord over other people over tv settings but then got confused when even trying to talk about them OK. Try selecting the frickwit setting in your post before submitting it.
>using a preset TV mode
As opposed to what? When I said I don't understand what they're saying, because what OTHER mode on TV is there other than the preset TV modes? I'll select the "shit reading comprehension" mode on your fricking brain, moron. My point still stands, people that b***h and complain about colors of their movies are the same people that keep 'vivid' on all the time and think the 'theater/movie' is too brown or adds a sepia filter on their tv. morons. Just like (you).
Youtube has really shitty quality for music videos but I'm not sure where to get better. One place had ridiculous workprint versions of a handful but those were insane 9gb.
>badly color graded version
the original you mean
which had its style and graded that way for reasons
that's what happens when you change things disregarding context
I'm not aware the old blurays having DNR, just make sure you get the ones not labeled Remastered. >The.Lord.of.the.Rings.The.Fellowship.of.the.Ring.2001.EXTENDED.1080p.BluRay.x265-RARBG >The.Lord.of.the.Rings.The.Two.Towers.2002.EXTENDED.1080p.BluRay.x265-RARBG >The.Lord.of.the.Rings.The.Return.of.the.King.2003.EXTENDED.1080p.BluRay.x265-RARBG

Touch grass
It's to do with the age of the person doing the remaster.
When you are younger the lenses on our eyes are quite a blueish tint, but as you she the tiny gets more orange rather than blue.

Because it is a scam. There's nothing more to it.
If you make a new release that looks the same as the last copy people will say you did nothing at all and it's not worth buying.
They really ran this through a shitty upscaler, and are charging for it. Not surprising I guess.
And why fricking change the lighting? Jesus frick its ANNOYING.
So I need a hard copy of LoTR. What do I buy? Whats been dicked with the least? Dont care about resolution.

Horse shit. It's entirely due to following shitty color grading trends at the time of the rerelease.

Go, go watch. Take them off your shelve and play them. It might teach you about resolution if nothing else.

Agreed. It’s even worse in music.
True, but in this case Peter Jackson oversaw the 4K remaster process.
Hackson is directly behind every color grading change these films have had throughout the years.
totally sucked the soul out of it
I might accept a filter in Rivendell because it's supposed to be a bit of a hazy magical place.
The warm glow of Rivendale makes the scene. They are in a comfortable safe place discussing the most harrowing journey one can take and the contrast really highlights the sacrifice the fellowship is making. That second frame looks like they are trying to match it to the disgusting Hobbit films.

It's hard to trust people with their color grade opinions when most people don't use the "theater/movie" mode in their TV settings.
>using a preset TV mode
ngmi
I don't even understand what you're trying to say. Did I adjust my tv color settings? Yes. What am I supposed to do? Get some color swatches for movies and color match it with my settings?
>Get some color swatches for movies and color match it with my settings?
literally yes
Oh snap I've been messing up :^)
So you attempted to lord over other people over tv settings but then got confused when even trying to talk about them OK. Try selecting the frickwit setting in your post before submitting it.
>using a preset TV mode
As opposed to what? When I said I don't understand what they're saying, because what OTHER mode on TV is there other than the preset TV modes? I'll select the "shit reading comprehension" mode on your fricking brain, moron. My point still stands, people that b***h and complain about colors of their movies are the same people that keep 'vivid' on all the time and think the 'theater/movie' is too brown or adds a sepia filter on their tv. morons. Just like (you).
you're not supposed to use any of those modes.
You customize the individual settings to get the perfect picture.
I'd rather watch the badly color graded version than the denoised version, thank you very much.
the DNR is terrible in the 4k versions
jesus christ how horrifying
Every remastered music video on youtube looks like this and people think it's an improvement.
Youtube has really shitty quality for music videos but I'm not sure where to get better. One place had ridiculous workprint versions of a handful but those were insane 9gb.
For American music videos, the best we have is DVD. Korean and Japanese put their music videos on bluray.
>badly color graded version
the original you mean
which had its style and graded that way for reasons
that's what happens when you change things disregarding context
1080p is so much better, looks a lot more magical
The colors in the netflix version are crazy
kek
need to hear the dialogs
So which torrents should I get for ideal extended, non-color graded to hideous dark blue versions?
search lord of the rings regrade
Is there any version that retains the film grain?
Well, the non remastered blurays.
I thought all the blurays had DNR
I'm not aware the old blurays having DNR, just make sure you get the ones not labeled Remastered.

What were they thinking?
Anyone know where I can find a dl of 44rh1n’s or Dwalin's restorations?
me on the right
I got the 2021 remastered blu rays & they look great. I also have the original dvds from back in the day so I'm content.
