Guest, it's time once again for the massively important and exciting FoH Asshat Tournament!
Go here and give us your nominations!Who's been the biggest Asshat in the last year? Give us your worst ones!
Can't wait to see this, really looking forward to it. I'm hoping the 48 FPS thing is kinda overblown and looks fine. On another note, hope Ian Mckellen stays healthy, dude is awesome. Do they have to reshoot more scenes now that they extended the movies to 3 instead of 2?
Wait, so the verdict is that the movie itself is very good, but the framerate makes it less enjoyable? Or are both the movie and the framerate bad?

Anyone see it in HFR3d and Dolby ATMOS? We have a theater here with both, not even super interested in the Hobbit, just got roped into going with friends for the spectacle of the midnight release + spiffy theater tech. Read good and bad about HFR3D, looking forward to seeing it myself.

I'm definitely seeing it on Friday in 3D. I can not wait much longer, I'm too excited. I need more goblins and dwarves in my life. I've watched all 3 LOTR movies in the last few days getting ready, and now the trailer has been on repeat. I'm a huge Tolkien fanboy and am more excited than I should be.
The difference is those scenes weren't in sound stages with backdrops or CGI. That's where you notice the contrast.
If that was the case it would be impossible to tell to difference between 24 FPS and 60 FPS in a video game and those 60-120hz televisions would look no different. 24 FPS is just an old standard that requires motion blurring or interlacing to convey smooth animated movement, but even still fast moving objects can look choppy on screen.

I think that qualifies as a spoiler... if you want I'll go into more detail through pm.

It ends right after they get rescued by the eagles and they see lonely mountain on the horizon

You are correct, and if someone is doing a projection of 48fps 2D, it's not what the director or even the studio intended, that would be the theater trying to rip you off

Ok, question. Will EVERY 3d version of this be 48fps, or will there be:
- 48 fps 3d
- 24 fps 3d
and
- 24 fps 2d
?
As much as I am wearing of this 48fps, I'd like to at least watch it in that mode. I imagine it will be impossible to use 48fps on my bluray, etc.

There is a list of theaters that are equipped forboth48 fps and 3D (http://www.48fpsmovies.com/48-fps-theater-list/). So I assume that means that some only have 24 fps 3D.

Ahh, got it. Thank you!
edit: Damn, two hours away... Can't justify two hour drive each way for The Hobbit.
