Enraged, Smaug rains his fiery wrath down upon the defenseless men, women and children of Lake-town. Obsessed above all else with his reclaimed treasure, Thorin sacrifices friendship and honor to hoard it as Bilbo (Freeman) frantically attempts to make him see reason, which eventually drives the Hobbit towards a desperate and dangerous choice. But there are even greater dangers ahead. Unseen by any but the Wizard Gandalf (McKellan), the great enemy Sauron has sent forth legions of Orcs in a stealth attack upon the Lonely Mountain.

Re: The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies - March 24
I wonder when they'll re-release these with Atmos tracks.

Re: The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies - March 24
If they do - but if they didn't now, I'm not sure try will. Maybe when the trilogy is released in a set.

Re: The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies - March 24
not that I'm jumping up and down to own or resee the theatrical cut of the film, but not having the Dolby Atmos mix which was the definite highlight, is a total WTF? guess Warner's is holding out for the Atmos on the extended cut in the Fall (fingers crossed).

Re: The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies - March 24
Won't buy any of these til they put them out in the right frame rate. (They could at least do 720p 30fps, would still be better than 24fps!)
|
Re: The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies - March 24
will wait for the 3D extended...
|
Re: The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies - March 24
I've got both versions of all the other LOTR films. I'll get whatever version of this comes with a Lego set, but I'm still waiting for a boxset of the extended cuts.

It's not like the 24 FPS version is some sort of compromise either, Jackson did release it that way theatrically. I know, because I saw it. I looked fine.

I wish ;). I'm still holding out for the inevitable big boxed set of all six, maybe they'll finally keep ALL of the damned extras. I'm guessing the BOTFA EE will be in December, so maybe the boxed set will be next year? Hopefully early. I can't imagine they'll pass up the opportunity to bundle everything together, but I doubt they'll do more than include the EE discs, so the hope that they'll include the TC extras or fix the green on FOTR is probably a pipe dream, but hey, I can hope. I can't imagine there's been any official line, but like I said, I'd be foolish not to do one.

Re: The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies - March 24
I hope there's a box set EXACTLY like the Blu-ray EE Trilogy, with the gold accents, etc., so they will match. Haven't purchased any of these movies yet, and I'm getting anxious. Very anxious.

Re: The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies - March 24
Extended for me.
|
Re: The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies - March 24
The earliest we would see a box set for the EE's is next year. But, yeah, I've waited this long, so it's not going to hurt to wait a little longer.
|
I know there'll be a boxed set of the EEs, what I'm wondering about is a boxed set of all six films with UV EEs. And God willing, all of the extras, though I'm still sure they'll manage to omit the theatrical ones somehow.
|
Re: The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies - March 24
If y'all are gonna wait, may as well wait for a mega box set with all six movies. Jackson has expressed interest in converting the LOTR films to 3D so I wouldn't be surprised if he also remixes them in Atmos and also re-issues the Hobbit films in Dolby Atmos as well.
Unless, WB decides to re-release the Hobbit films under their Diamond Luxe line and add Dolby Atmos while excluding the 3D presentations. |
Re: The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies - March 24
I'm not holding my breath we'll get any more of these movies with Atmos. It would be nice, but at this point, I don't see WB doing much more with these two sagas. Bundled in a pretty box set yes, but the content will remain the same.
|
Re: The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies - March 24
Given WB claiming to be fully on board with Atmos (enough for them to re-issue Gravity) and doubtlessly not passing up an opportunity to milk even more money from this franchise, it just might happen. What they would never do is remaster a movie whose previous BD had mediocre picture quality (I'm looking at you The Dark Knight).
|
Re: The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies - March 24
It's WB - they'll pass on plenty of opportunity. Their history has proven that, despite their upgrade to Atmos on Gravity. I haven't heard anymore titles announced for upgrades. But I would love The Dark Knight upgraded, as well as a remastered picture, but we haven't even gotten the picture upgrade. Okay, now I'm pissed at WB. Again.

Re: The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies - March 24
Fuck, since I already whored myself out to the theatrical and extended cuts of the 1st 2 movies, might as well do the same for this.
I can probably sell the UV code for the theatrical release for around $4-5 bucks to off set the cost. Same with the Extended release when that's released. :lol: When all is said and done, I can't believe I will own the following by the end of 2015. The Lord of the Rings trilogy theatrical cuts (DVD) and extended cuts (DVD) The Lord of the Rings trilogy blu-ray extended cuts The Hobbit trilogy theatrical and extended cuts on blu-ray. |

Re: The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies - March 24
I don't own any TC cuts of any of the Middle Earth films. EE or GTFO.
|
Re: The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies - March 24
Nah, I like having the theatrical as well.
