Glad you liked Hobbit's 48 fps 3D. Did you feel the 3D was strong, really good, average or weak for the most part?

Yeah, it would be nice to see more filmmakers experiment with HFR, especially those with big budgets and those who want to use it creatively with scenes designed for fast motion. Most set and costume designers and CGI artists will have to amp up the level of detail in their work as 48fps seems pretty unforgiving at exposing little blemishes or omissions.

I liked The Hobbit's 3D very much. Depth strength seemed mostly strong. Around 85% of the shots looked appropriately round from my mid-backrow viewing distance (~40ft away maybe), and nothing was ever offensively flat. The 3D style was more natural and subtle, rather than aggressive and engaging. I'd compare it to Prometheus although Peter Jackson was little more creative with the 3D. My favorite 3D moments were

[Show spoiler]the rain in negative parallax, a few intimate close-ups of faces and small objects, the vertigo during the battle of the rock giants, the fly-in views of the underground orc bridges, and flying with the eagles at the end
