When The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring Extended Edition blu-ray came out, many noticed that in comparison to the theatrical release and previous DVD and blu-ray releases, a darkening green tint had been applied across the whole film, turning snow and clouds meant to look white green and making everything look underexposed. Even the title, end credits and fade to white in rivendell were affected by this blanket green tint, giving everything in the film a green tint, including fleshtones.

The underexposed nature of the new transfer also led to many darker scenes like the mines of moria being very difficult to make out on the screen and daylight scenes like those in Hobbiton seeming very overcast rather than sunny like they were in the theatrical release and every other home release.

As you can imagine, there was a lot of controversy, with many calling for the studio responsible and the director to admit with a statement that a mistake had been made with the transfer of the blu-ray and for new corrected replacement blu-rays to be provided to those that had bought the flawed original blu-ray release. As you can imagine, that did not happen and that´s how things have stayed to this day.

With that in mind, I have gone ahead and created a corrected version myself, removing the blanket green tint so the snow, clouds and the fade to white in rivendell are indeed white again like they were in all the previous releases, returning this beautifully shot film back to its former glory and correcting the brightness and contrast so the film no longer looks underexposed.

A lot of time and effort on my part went into working out the correct settings to regrade this film so it looks better throughout the whole film. This colour corrected release is clearly superior colourwise to popular BrRip encodes like YIFY that are just taken straight from the official blu-ray with no colour correction whatsoever.

The 2 channel audio of this release also has an excellent bitrate, 256kbs, compared to YIFY's very low 96kbs, so it sounds great and is also at the correct volume, unlike a lot of YIFY's BrRip encodes that have the volume far too low. Both in terms of audio and video, this release is clearly superior.

I am very happy to share all the work i've done colour correcting this film with you all. All I ask in return is that you help me out by uploading as much as you've downloaded, seeding to a share ratio of 1 after you've finished downloading, so everybody that wants to download this colour corrected release can do so and I have the spare bandwidth to upload more releases that I have fixed.

If you consider this colour corrected release a clear improvement on the official blu-ray in terms of colour like I do, voting with a thumbs up and posting positive comments would also be very much appreciated.


Most important of all, spread the word about the blanket green tint on the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings films! Also let people know that there are colour corrected releases like this one that fix the problem. I'm personally sick of finding the same ugly green/teal tint on blu-ray releases over the last few years. The dark green mess that was The Fellowship of the Ring Extended Edition blu-ray was the last straw for me. Enough is enough! Let's stand up to the studios, increase awareness of the problem and start an anti-green/teal revolution!
