The Hobbit (https://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=252015)

Nah I think that's a Ringwraith in noncorporeal form.

Well, that's interesting.

Ok, saw The Hobbit in 48fps 3D last night. No spoilers in this post, just reactions to the technology:

48 FPS has the "Soap Opera Effect" totally in play. Half of the scenes resemble a BBC docudrama or a day time soap opera. It looks cheap (on a grandly expensive scale) and it completely breaks your immersion every few minutes. On vistas and long shots, it looks breath taking. Whenever you're in close and the camera is moving OR a character is moving, it looks cheap and fake. It's even worse when the camera is moving and a character is.

The story is so amazing that I'm trying to warn you. I want you to experience the great story without it being marred by this. I mean, totally see it 48fps for your second viewing, if you want to see where the industry is going to force us to go. But for your virgin viewing, see it in 2D 24 Frames per second. Seriously, you will thank me. It's hard to describe just how bad it looks.

I'm still mulling a lot of it over, but I'll answer any questions you guys have.

Goosebumps from this. Thrice.

**** yeah, me too.

And reserved seating. Don't have to wait in line.

lol I have Fridays off work. I think I'm just gonna go next Friday when opening day shit has died down and watch it with like 10 other people in an empty IMAX theater.

That's terrible. I love going with nerd crowds and hearing reactions...feeling the murmur of the crowd...the soft weeping around me when the movie ends....

Good for you, seriously. I hate that shit. I just want everyone to be quiet and let me enjoy my own experience. I don't give a crap about anyone else's experience, and hearing their weeping, hearing some clap, laugh, gasp, whatever, just takes me out of my own and makes them part of it.

Yep. That is why I generally go to morning or early afternoon showings. To avoid the damn crowds.

I love going in the morning during the week. Sometimes I'm the only person in the theater. Course that's a summer thing.

Me too. The wife and I like the earliest show on Sunday mornings.

When i was younger i used to really enjoy the opening weekend Fri/Sat night crowds. Now its just an annoyance, but i tolerate it at times with my kids.

The worst is a film like this one because people will be getting up alot for bathroom breaks, etc...since its so long.

Saw it last night in plain jane 35mm film...as for the film content itself, I have two words:

Cinematic Masterpiece

Can't wait to see the HFR 3D tonight!
