[Avid-L2] Hobbit 3D HFR

 

Just came home from seeing the Hobbit/Smaug in 3D HFR. I wasn't too sure I was going to enjoy it - I'd heard reports of headaches, fakeness, etc.

To provide me a comparison in the same theater, they ran the 3D promo for the upcoming SpiderMan movie. Depth of field looked great and all, but the fast motion blurs and judder made me feel like I was missing half the action.

Then they ran the Hobbit. Wow - It was like magic - everything was super clear. No judder, pans looked smooth. There was still some stuff that looked "too video" and some of the effects (especially liquids) didn't look quite right, but over all I was very impressed.

Maybe I'm just too used to playing video games, but I really think that Jackson and company are onto something good.

But I do seem to have a slight headache...
