The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey – Extended Edition 3D review by Hag and Con
Out Now on Blu-Ray and 3D Blu-Ray (12) Hag 5 Stars/ Con “Infinity and beyond” out of 5
Parent View:
I understand the 12a rating (BBFC 12 rating on Home Entertainment for the same film) at the cinema but I was very happy for Hag and Con to see the movie. Would have been a PG in the 80’s and 90’s.
This is a much lighter and funnier film than the originals. It’s Lord of the Rings meets Time Bandits. There’s something a bit ‘Python’ about the feel of the movie.
The Extended Edition is only and extra 15 minutes longer – but the little bits added are very exciting when you see them. Our favourite was seeing a very young Frodo in the opening of the movie. Why this new package stands out as a must own for fans is the 9 hours of Extras. If you’re a fan and want the full ‘Honest’ story – you must buy this disc.
Dependant on the child – I couldn’t recommend The Hobbit more. Genius family entertainment!!
3D Blu-Ray Review:
This is a good quality 3D Disc with no obvious ghosting throughout. The Hobbits not really reliant on gimmicky 3D moments and uses 3D in the most subtle of ways, emphasising the depth and scale of back drops during the action. Stand out 3D moments: New Zeland backdrop shots, Dwarfs and Gandolf chased in Troll Kings lair, Tree Top fight, Eagles. A must for the collection.
