I remember watching The Fellowship of the Ring on HD and my eye was struggling to stay with the action because everything was so crystal clear. Spent most of the time watching the blades of grass behind them.

I found the cinematography in the LOTR trilogy incredibly ugly and digitised anyway. The visuals in LOTR get too much praise imho.
I'm also a fan of film grain and analogue photography, but sadly digital filming has largely replaced it due to being less costly. Suffice to say, analogue movies look even grainier on blu-ray.
