Within the movie’s choices, the hues were full and well-developed, and the colors showed good pop when necessary. This one tended toward a more desaturated look, largely to fit the somber circumstances in which the characters find themselves. Like all of Peter Jackson’s other Tolkien films, Desolation opted for heavily stylized colors, with an emphasis on teal and orange. Print flaws never appeared in this clean image. I saw no signs of shimmering or jagged edges, and edge haloes failed to mar the presentation. The movie always appeared concise and accurate, without any hints of softness on display. Expect terrific visuals from this Dolby Vision presentation. The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug appears in an aspect ratio of approximately 2.40:1 on this 4K UHD Disc. The Disc Grades: Picture A+/ Audio A/ Bonus F Like the first chapter, this one comes with flaws, and I can’t disagree with those who feel The Hobbit might’ve been better served by a shorter telling, but I like the movie even with some padding involved. To recap: I think Desolation continues the series in a reasonably winning manner. It clocks in at three hours, six minutes, 34 seconds and enjoys a full discussion at this link. The Theatrical Cut runs two hours, 41 minutes, 16 seconds, and my thoughts about it can be found right here. This 2020 4K package includes two versions of the film. As this represents my fifth discussion of the film, I’ll skip my standard movie review. The second chapter in Peter Jackson’s second Tolkien trilogy, The Desolation of Smaug continues his version of The Hobbit.
