How to watch The Hobbit

Odd how passive 3d affects so many people when the flicker of active 3d is what usually sends peoples eyes bananas.
I'm fine with it and thoroughly looking forward to watching it in 3D HFR in the best place i can get to.
 
I think its more the whole implementation of current 3D tech (cant wait for holographic) rather than passive vs active systems. I always feel tired coming out of a 3D film and its all to do with lack of physical depth...

YEah but Avatar had that depth. I have to say i like 3d but Avatar is still the benchmark film to measure 3d against..........until now. The Hobbit will have been done properly i imagine. (well hopefully)

Not really, it was still pseudo-3d on a 2d plane which plays havoc on eyes accomodation vs actual convergence, which is why people have so many issues with it (tired eyes, eye strain, headaches etc).

You really need to look into holographic 3D as it will make what we have now look like black and white. I dont disagree that Avatar wasnt a good benchmark for the 3d tech we have now, but the 3d tech we have now isnt that good at all

Does that really happen at your cinema? I seriously can't remember the last time I even had to get up and let someone go past during a film, I've rarely if ever heard a mobile go off after the trailers and certainly never had my seat kicked for the duration!

Either you are going to cinema in the ghetto or Sheffield is some sort of up market chav free zone!

Yes. CineWorld in High Wycombe. Nightmare :(
 
I am seeing it in IMAX 3D HFR. Why? Mainly because this marks the first film ever to potentially make good use of 3D by updating the industry standard of 24fps to 48fps. Avatar 3D was OK, but my eyes got fatigued by the judder in the panning, and various sequences where there was a lot to focus on, with the limitation of 24fps. Furthermore, coupled with the fact that I thoroughly enjoyed the LOTR trilogy, and that I quite enjoyed the visuals of Avatar (despite a rather poor attempt of a story etc), I felt The Hobbit could potentially be the best movie in a long time to really change the way we experience films. Taking a stellar story such as the Hobbit and using the foundations laid by Avatar for 3D, and further improving it with 48fps, I just thought this could be an experience unlike any other.

Sure it could suck balls in 3D HFR, and if it does I will just view it again in normal 2D. I just felt it would be dumb for me to not take advantage of the opportunity to see it in this way, when 48fps could get dropped if it doesn't succeed. At least, I can say I've seen it.
 
I think avatar had depth, depth is easy to create if they spend the time to do it and shoot the location/scenes accordingly allowing for layers of detail which is often why 3D sucks because they just dont spend any time or thought in the process but I feel its the perception of mass/substance that current 3D can't project off the screen that holographic proberbly could.

Hope that makes sense, I know what im trying to convey I just dont think I've chosen my words well enough.

I know, cinema prices are crazy around here in London, especially when you factor in refreshments.

Unless the movie is massive and we are dying to see it, we usually wait for the Bluray/3D release and buy that, and watch in the comfort of the lounge.

Will be going to watch it in 2D, Honestly can't stand 3D and I wear glasses also, Glasses over glasses for 2-3hrs.. No thanks.

If you want the best experience go for 2D about 1-2 weeks after it comes out. You'll be in a nice almost empty room and you won't have to wear any stupid glasses and you can spread out and enjoy yourself.

This is how I'll be watching it. Haven't needed 3D for the last 42 years to enjoy a film, and I don't see that changing for me personally.
 
I've gone the whole hog and got myself a ticket for Thursday. IMAX at the Printworks, 3D HFR and sitting in the premier seats, I hope it's worth the extra cash. I don't really get out to the cinemas that much any more, but thought this would be worth the money.
