Synopsis
Based on J.R.R. Tolkien's masterpiece, the saga centers around an unassuming Hobbit named Frodo Baggins who inherits a Ring that would give a dark and powerful lord the power to enslave the world. With a loyal fellowship of elves, dwarves, men and a wizard, Frodo embarks on a heroic quest to destroy the One Ring and pave the way for the emergence of mankind.
Review
It's been more than a decade since Peter Jackson brought the beloved Tolkien epic to the big screen. Shot as the first of the classic trilogy, the first chapter is a total visual treat that is more than capable when it comes to painting a vivid picture of the mystical Middle Earth. Filmmakers have flawlessly weaved and assimilated the humble beginning of the epic journey into lively images by applying simple yet chronologically linear storytelling behind grandeur backdrop of breathtaking mountains, perilous terrains, creepy caves and majestic forest, thus boosting New Zealand's tourism scene. Great story, great cinematography and great landscape.
