just saw The Hobbit at the cinema...

[The Bounty Bar Kid]

Just saw this and saw it in HFR 3D. HFR stands for High Frame Rate. Basically normal films in the cinema run at 24frames per second. This ran at 48fps. Hated it. Ruined film partially.

 

My advice, don't watch it in this if given the chance!

[spursmaddave]

Sometimes something isn't changed because it is better that way....

 

How was the film, I would say don't include spoliers but if anybody hasn't read the book

[Will370z]

Ive heard its making some of the audience feel very sick too.

 

Must admit not a fan of 3d in films, its just gimicky and often makes the film look tacky. Loved avatar, everything else.....ummmmmm

[spursmaddave]

Never seen a film in 3D and don't want to, it made my head hurt watching football for 10 minutes in 3D

Yeah I REALLY wanna see The Hobbit but not with a load of smelly noisy annoying twunts sat round me.....

[Will370z]

Yeah thats the problem with cinemas, too many other people making too much noise.

 

I remember years ago getting two young kids thrown out of the cinema and cars 2 because they kept talking constantly. Bless em

I'm thinking of going on Christmas Eve while everyone else either shopping or getting drunk

And to be honest, the Cinema is a right rip off, would rather buy 4 Blu-rays

Thats must have looked funny to everyone. A Hobbit sitting in the cinema watching a film about Hobbits:)

Ignoring 3d was the film good?

I thought the higher frame rate would make it less jerky and better?

 

Agreed I watched Avatar in 3d and loved in. I watched another film the immortals I think? 3d wasnt great although I saw Freida Pinto's bum in 3d

[The Bounty Bar Kid]

It wasn't the 3D that made it bad, it was the hfr. Would give the film 3/5. Slow at first.

Always welcome round ours Jim - its why we have a HD projector and 75" screen

 

HFR like 3D will end up becoming defacto whether you like it or not. In principal it should make it better. What makes me laugh about gimmiks are these people that have 100+Hz screens when broadcasts are in 24Hz! With higher frame rates panning and action should be smoother and look nicer. The problem is for many years we've been used to 24 so doubling it is too much for most to take in a single jump.

Now that would be an expensive trip to the Cinema

[bronzee]

Really looking forward to seeing this. The book was fabulous and Peter Jackson is very clever and being a Kiwi, just support the film. Lol, no I didn't get to go to the global pre-release party over here.

Yes but the only copy of the film you are likely to have would be a wobby cam version filmed in 480p which would look like Lego Hobbitt

Not in this day and age, camcorder versions seem to be a thing of the past

Seen the film yesterday, sure it's a little slow in places,the time still flew by, very surprised how funny it was, much more light hearted than lord of the rings.

 

( don't kill me but i've never read any of the books )

 

can't wait for the next instalment now

[ioneabee]

I've never read them either (which is strange as I'm a sci-fi and fantasy fiction)

 

would it be preferable to have at least seen the lord of the rings trilogy films first - I don't know which order this is in ?
