The Hobbit An Unexpected Journey 3D/2D Blu Ray SteelBook Extended Edition

'Think Furnace With Wings,Flash Of Light, Searing Pain Then Poof, Your Nothing More Than A Pile Of Ash'

 Fig 1. The Artwork On The Front Is Beautiful
Fig 2. As Is The Back.. Very Nice To See.. 
 
'Oh My God' was the first thing I thought when I saw this movie, its not just another Hobbit adventure. Its THE Bilbo adventure. Every movie has to start somewhere and for me this was the perfect beginning. (To be honest I really didn't have very high expectations for this movie, don't get me wrong I loved the 1st instalment of LOTR but when it came round to the 3rd I was a little confused and numb, because I wanted to know how it ALL started.. But didn't want to wait)
 
But Now we have a great story line, a Hobbit that is up for any adventure, until he realises he's in a little to deep for his own good. What with a journey to a Mountain with a Crazy and outlandish gang of Dwarves to reclaim treasures stolen for years from them by the dragon Smaug. The amount of detail put in to visual effects and amazing landscapes took my breath away. With swooshing swords, Bricks and boulders flying everywhere and collapsing bridges and towers, goblins and chase scenes.. I for one was very, very impressed.
  Storytelling and Visual expression is bursting at the seams with cutting-edge effects, incredible motion captured creatures and, of course, Gollum.

Fig 3. The Inside Holds 5 Nicely Artworked Discs.. 
 
 
VIDEO*****
Presented at 2.40:1 in brilliant 1080p
When I first watched this I don't think I had seen a picture so sharp and clean in all my Home Cinema
viewing. I've seen beautiful colour and fine detail but this has been taken to another level, Now I presume its down to the fantastic 4K cameras used. It's just like The Amazing Spiderman, but cleaner as there is a lot of daylight shots. The 2D Extended Disc/Movie set includes three BD50 discs, one used for the 183-minute feature film itself.
Contrast is amazing and spot on as are the black levels. The caves are dark but every amount of detail just pops off the screen. I dare anyone to find a flaw in this. Edge definition is crisp and clean, without any significant ringing or the dreaded Halo Effect.
I can say the 3D version is a little dark but that's not the film it is the Active glasses, but as I watched it in 3D to still notice the amount of detail I did is a triumph to the transfer and the cinematography.
All in its got to be 5/5 from me.. Hobbit as a Hobbit Does..

Fig 4. The Inside Holds 5 Nicely Artworked Discs..
 
 
 
 
 
 
AUDIO*****
DTS-HD MASTER AUDIO 7.1 English, French Dolby Digital 5.1, Italian Dolby Digital 5.1, Japanese Dolby Digital 5.1 And Portuguese Dolby Digital 5.1.
The Bass kicks in all the major scenes and that for a Home Cinema enthusiast is not the only top priority but there's also a superb amount of Treble and Midrange to make sure swords clang and voices sound crisp and clean. The chaos of an underground Goblin Town and the middle of a cave where a certain magic ring sits sounds totally immersive and that for me puts a massive smile on my face knowing the complete system WILL get a work out.. Not only that but Howard Shore's score is sweeping and full.
For ME I have to give it a full 5/5 just because sound is just as important as picture quality.
 
 
 
EXTRAS*****
As this is a 5 Disc set and you have two, Yes two discs dedicated to extras there are far far to many for me to list. But for the price you pay its worth it just for the extras..
but here are just a few..
 
AUDIO COMMENTARY

Silent Sony On PS4 Playback Of CD, MP3, Youtube and Out Of The Box Blu Ray

       **SILENT SONY**
Naughty Sony Have Been A Little To Quiet On There 'Next Gen' Console.. So What Are They NOT Telling Us...???

Fig 1. The ALL Bells and Whistles PS4..
 
 
So not long to go now then guys eh?. You've had your money taken from your account and the pre-order date looms ever closer, your hearts pounding and you just can't wait for the courier to 'Tap, Tap' on your door and hand you that magic box of tricks that Sony have been promising us..
Now You've taken it all out of the box, thrown the packaging and the leaflet crap away with it and now all you have to do is plug it all in and sit back and play a great high end graphics game of shall we say 'FIFA 14'.
Well that's what most of you will be doing, but what about those that have been wanting to intergrate it into the Home Cinema?. What do we do first.. ?
Fig 2, The Blu Ray.
 
Well I for one would love to pop in a Blu Ray and see how quick this beauty boots up and how well it spins our discs also wanting to see the way the 'NEW' graphics card handles things like motion and blur, picture judder, chroma and so on.
Now I think I will wait before I plug in the network cable I will just pop in the Disc and give it a go.
WOOOO!!!! here we go..
But hold on a minute.. What's that that's just appeared on the screen. A message saying the Console needs a firmware update before I can watch a Blu Ray..?
Wait a minute, what the hell, 'In The Name Of Satan's Bathroom' is going on..
I have to *UPDATE* the bloody thing before I can even watch a Movie..?
Yep that's right you DO.. and to me as a Movie/Film Lover is plain WRONG in this day and age..
Why the hell doesn't anything just work out of the box these days?.
Not only do we have to wait 2 weeks longer than the U.S for our release date but when it finally does get released it needs a 300MB update.
'Ok, Ok I will just listen to some music then and maybe rip my MP3's to the Hard Drive as I Know That Takes up A Bit Of Time'
Fig 3. CD And MP3 Playback Can't Wait...
 
Right CD time.. I just love being able to listen to my music sometimes without having to take the CD off of my dusty shelf and popping it in to any kind of player. And as dedicated Music servers are a lot of money these days, I found that my PS3 was great at having the ability to Rip my CD's at a great bitrate and then just browse by artist and press play, while I was playing a game of 'COD'
So here we go..
'WHAT' another message, 'Format Not Permitted On This Device' or something like that.
What the hell is going on..
So now it wont even play CD's.. OK, Ok you got me I WILL do the bloody *UPDATE*
10 Minutes later and we are all done. Finally
Now I can pop in my CD.. Hang on same bloody warning on the screen..
'This cant be right, Let me check the Manual'
5 Minutes later and it seems my worst fears have come true..
NO MP3 or CD Playback..
Oh and to top it off If I did want to listen to music I now have to join Sony's own Music Service called 'Sony Music Unlimited', but my MUSIC was Unlimited as I own 300 Discs that I have already bought, now I have to BUY them all again.. And just for a bargain price of £30.00 a year..
Fig 4. Sonys 'Music Unlimited Online Service'
 
These decisions, apart from the loss of a music visualizer, which is a tragedy, can be traced back to Sony’s pushing of its cloud-based music service, Music Unlimited.. Utter Bullying is what it is and I for one WILL NOT be emptying my wallet for bully's. No way.
Oh and one more happy note..NO UPLOADS to Youtube.. Which I can understand as the whole Youtube channel will be inundated with 5 minute snippets of head shots and the same old 'Look At My Over Head Kick' wonder goal.. and I for one do not want to watch that..
Remote Play WILL NOT WORK over 3G. To stream PS4 gameplay to your Vita, you’ll need a WiFi connection. Sony "strongly recommends that Remote Play be used within the same WiFi network where PS4 is connected."
 
So That's it my little rant over and done with..
I'm still very undecided on which console to buy next, but I know one thing this has made my quest that little bit more easier and might just make me keep my XBOX 360 a little while longer to..

So What Is My Next AV Purchase...?????

The Time Of Year Has Come For Me To Put My Order In With A Certain Mr Clause..But What Will It Be
 
 
Oh so many things and so little bloody money, but I think if there was or is one thing for me to upgrade this year its got to be my Home Cinema Receiver... But What one?
So many to choose from when it comes to manufactures, we have Denon, Onkyo, Yamaha and my personal favourite Pioneer. then there's the price factor. I can't afford to spend £1500,00 on any AV product except a 'New' Plasma or LCD display.
But this year my dreams and wishes have come true, our favourite companies have released what us erm Pros?.. call midrange products at very affordable prices, anything from £350-£450.. and that is what's great about our hobby.. even in these crazy money tight times we can treat ourselves to a product that would have been well over £800 a year or so ago..
So enough of my rambling, what will I be buying?, have a read and look below and see.

 Pioneer VSX-923 Front..mmmm Sweet and sexy

I decided to go for the Pioneer VSX-923.. And there are many, many reasons why I chose this model and make over other brands and that comes down to specifications and price, have a look below to see what you get, but before you do let me tell you this.
I look for what's around the back, what power it spits out in watts and its performance. Now I have owned many brands over my 'Home Cinema' addiction and at a crazy price brand right down to the Mid-Range bracket.. and I have used a drug all the time over the last 10 years and that drug is Pioneer.
The bang for your buck and the sheer performance of these beasts out performs any I have heard and it does what I like it to do, it doesn't run so hot you could cook a egg on the chassis, it doesn't eat electricity like some power hungry Godzilla and It delivers tight bass and authentic treble with a nice midrange.. that along with inputs and outputs just about makes me the happiest man in the UK.

VSX-923 rear.. Plenty Of Inputs and Outputs.. Future Proof... 'Yep'

When it comes to specs for the 923 at a price that's affordable you cant go wrong.. here is a brief run down of what you get for wait for it..£450.00..yep just that little.
There are no fewer than 8 yes 8 HDMI inputs including 1 one the front panel and 2 HDMI outputs, so you can plug in everthing from you XBOX 360, Sky HD or Virgin Media Box, Your Blu Ray Player, PS3 and Laptop and still have room for your APPLE TV and have a spare.. superb.
Now I own 2 Panasonic Blu Ray Players, one of which is Blu Ray Multi-Region and the other DVD Multi-Region, then I have a XBOX 360 and SKY HD and a APPLE TV 3 for streaming via Airplay.
Now that's 5 out of 8 used so I'm future proofed and that also includes 4K passthrough.. Also if you happen to own a HD projector then you can feed that as well as your TV as it has the 2 HDMI outputs just the simple press of a button and your picture is duplicated on your other display..
It also includes 1000+ of internet radio stations and from a firmware update now includes Spotify.
USB is included on the front for your iPhone/iPad music playing and if you have a Android device then that's covered also.. it plays all kinds of Audio formats like, FLAC,WAV,AIFF and MP3.
She will also upscale your standard def signals if you still have some that is all the way up to 1080p.
Like I said all for £450.00,
The only small problem I have it that the remote is a little cluttered but apart from that I'm biased and giving it 5 stars all the way..

SPECS

150 watts into 6 ohms
8 HDMI Inputs
2 HDMI outputs
4 Composite inputs
1 Optical input
1 Coaxial input
Apple OS and Android Control Apps
Windows 8 compatible
vTuner Internet Radio
Upscaling to 4K
MACACC microphone (Just Plug It In And It Sets Up Your Receiver For You and Calibrates Your Room..All Very Easy)
