Rivendell Continuity Can't Post
Hello,

This is my first post having browsed this forum for some time now. I very much look forward to taking part in the discussions on here!

I have seen AUJ three times and enjoyed it more with each viewing. One issue that bothered me slightly was the fact that Rivendell appears to be completely different than when we first saw it in FOTR. I'm not referring to differences in the technology used to represent Rivendell (i.e. CGI instead of models), or the overall architectural style (which is consistent across the films). However, the physical layout of the buildings in Rivendell appear to be quite different.

I've included two pictures for comparison. Did anybody else notice this? I wonder why the filmmakers chose to depart from the established geography of Rivendell.




Perhaps I'm over-analysing the issue, but given the effort that went into maintaining continuity elsewhere in the film, I found this to be a little odd!
