Fans of Peter Jackson's adaptations of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit can save big on the massive 30-disc box set collecting both trilogies on 4K Blu-ray, Blu-ray, and Digital. The Middle-earth 6-Film Collection launched in March for $210, but it's on sale for only $100 during Amazon's Cyber Monday sale. Amazon also has The Lord of the Rings Trilogy on 4K Blu-ray for $49.49 (was $90).
Both box sets include theatrical and extended cuts on 4K Blu-ray, but the Middle-earth Collection also comes with Digital and 1080p Blu-ray, which means you'll get special features not found in The LOTR Trilogy set.
The Lord of the Rings Trilogy (4K Blu-ray) $49.49 (was $90) The Lord of the Rings Trilogy's move to 4K UHD resolution is fittingly marvelous. Middle Earth's sprawling fields, rolling hills, and scenic vistas come alive with the help of HDR and modern surround sound tech. All three films support Dolby Vision and HDR10 along with Dolby Atmos and Dolby TrueHD 7.1 surround sound. If you haven't watched the extended cuts, you're in for a treat. The extended trilogy is a full two hours longer than the theatrical versions, which is impressive considering the trilogy already eclipsed nine hours in theaters. The Fellowship of the Ring's extended cut is 30 minutes longer, The Two Towers is 44 minutes longer, and The Return of the King is 51 minutes longer. Return of the King's extended version is one of the rare movies that eclipses four hours. This is a 9-disc box set, because each film's extended cut is spread across two discs, while the theatrical cuts get one disc each. Here's the total runtime of the theatrical and extended versions of The Lord of the Rings Trilogy (excluding the credits): The Lord of the Rings Theatrical Cuts The Fellowship of the Ring - 2 hours 58 minutes
The Two Towers - 2 hours 59 minutes
The Return of the King - 3 hours 21 minutes Total runtime: 9 hours and 18 minutes The Lord of the Rings Extended Cuts The Fellowship of the Ring - 3 hours 28 minutes
The Two Towers - 3 hours 43 minutes
The Return of the King - 4 hours 12 minutes Total runtime: 11 hours and 23 minutes See at Amazon Middle-earth 6-Film Collection (4K Blu-ray, Blu-ray, Digital) $100 (was $210) At $100, the Middle-earth 6-Film Collection currently costs the same as the combined price of the 4K Blu-ray editions of The Lord of the Rings Trilogy ($49.49) and The Hobbit Trilogy ($50). If you're interested in both trilogies, you'll want to opt for the Middle-earth 6-Film Collection, since it has everything from those sets as well as 1080p Blu-ray and Movies Anywhere digital editions. Audio commentaries with Peter Jackson for all six extended cuts are exclusive to standard Blu-ray and digital editions of LOTR and The Hobbit, so you miss out on those with the 4K-only trilogy sets. All told, the Middle-earth 6-Film Collection features 15 4K Blu-ray discs, 15 1080p Blu-ray discs, and codes to download/stream both trilogies. All three formats include theatrical and extended cuts. The Hobbit Trilogy in 4K supports the same visual and audio enhancements as The Lord of the Rings: Dolby Vision / HDR10 and Dolby Atmos / Dolby TrueHD 7.1 surround sound. The extended cuts add roughly an hour to the total runtime. The Hobbit Theatrical Editions An Unexpected Journey - 2 hours 49 minutes
A Desolation of Smaug - 2 hours 41 minutes
The Battle of the Five Armies - 2 hours 24 minutes Total runtime: 7 hours and 54 minutes The Hobbit Extended Editions An Unexpected Journey - 3 hours 2 minutes
A Desolation of Smaug - 3 hours 6 minutes
The Battle of the Five Armies - 2 hours 44 minutes Total runtime: 8 hours and 52 minutes See at Amazon
