Then we’ll see who’s complaining about a “TV look.”

I just hope that doesn’t look like shit. I wonder how they’ll put it out on Blu-ray? Likely the same way.

I don’t know why they want to double the frame rate (obviously for a smoother image) but I don’t wanna spend 3 hours watching a crispy colored “documentary” :-) That is why I turn of all the smooth-filter on modern HDTVs – it’s just too natural! All thought it might be a funny experience in 3D :-)

I am quite sure it was in 48fps because they announced to us before the film that they just replaced the screen with “a brand new technology”..

He shows 48fps, people hate it. He says he’ll tidy it up, but they do and it still doesn’t get screened either. We keep hearing that it takes at least 10 minutes for your mind to “accept it”. Then the 2 films are turned into 3 just months before the 1st release. Now the 48fps may only be shown in a handful of places…
Hope I’m wrong about all this but it doesn’t bode well….

I like it!

It would educate movie goers on the advantages about the higher fps. They could show a short clip of a scene running at 24 fps, then the same clip at the higher 48 fps. Then jeans would be creamed, pop corn choked on and soft drinks dropped in blissful amazement. Bow down to the will of Jackson and Cameron.

Now every time I see one of HDTV’s with the frame smoothing turned on I imagine the hobbit.

I was interested to see what this would look like. I’m usually a fan of technological advances, especially if it’s for more than just a cash grab. It sounded like Jackson really believed in this choice, so I hope I get a chance to see it.
