Yes that is the EE.

That would be the one! And, yes, it is an absolutely necessary purchase for anyone with an HT. The video, audio, and extras are perfect.

Tommy,
It's a must-have demo if you like the movie, which I most emphatically do. Picture and sound quality are topnotch and it will really show off a 6.1 system to great advantage.

If you don't like the movie, there are a few other dvds that will also show off your HT about as well. Gladiator, Blade II, Starwars II, all have great pic and sound quality.

A couple or three years ago everyone around here was raving about the demo-quality of "Lost in Space"--a movie I saw in the theaters and really didn't like so I didn't buy it.

I refuse to buy a "demo quality" disc of a movie I don't like. Fortunately LOTR/FOTR EE doesn't fall into that category for me, but ymmv.

I prefer not to push the subwoofers until they\'re properly run in.

It is certainly my favorite of the year for picture and sound-quite stunning.

741 people here certainly thought so

IMO, a film is only a must have if you enjoy the movie. Regardless of the quality of the video/audio/extras, if you don't like the movie it won't be worth the money.

Besides, there are other great films out there with incredible video, sound, and features.

I completely and totally despised the movie... and I still have it! My wife likes it.

I couldn't agree more. That said my personal collection wouldn't be complete without both versions of FOTR.

Same here. And I'll be buying both versions of TTT, ROTK, and any other super-dooper special editions they may release in the future. I'm such a LOTR nut.

That said, the special edition for Attack of the Clones looks very nice. I still haven't bought it, but might because I'm a Star Wars fan. The last film just didn't excite me much.

And no way in hell am I going to be buying the Pearl Harbor: Big Ass Set or the Armageddon: Criterion, no matter how good the extras are.
