Fitprod, you're probably right about there not being two versions, unless there will be an extended version offered later on with the HFR 3D.

I haven't experienced that effect yet having seen Hobbit twice in 48 fps, but I can imagine how 48 FPS has changed your standards from now on for film.

I'm still a fan of 24 fps, but if given a choice in a theater, I'd probably go for 48 fps each time. I agree that it does draw the viewer into the world as if you're watching live action, not cinema.

I agree that it does look more life like for motion like a soap opera does, but this adventure movie is anything but a soap opera, and that's what separates it.

See this is where it is an experience issue. My primary job has been QA of films and video for nearly 15 years...

Remember when Jackson was claiming the issue everyone had with the demo presentation was because the film wasn't finished? He was full of it, and this turned out as I expected.

I am curious it see the film in 24fps for comparison, and my gut instinct is that since this was natively shot 48fps, there will be a ton of motion blur, and it will not look very good. - The only problem is that I would have to sit through this bore-fest in a theater for a second time.

Honestly, the home video release of The Hobbit has the potential to be a complete disaster.
