Finally saw the 3D trailer on the big screen, the one where Gandalf introduces Bilbo to the Dwarves that will venture on with him in part I and II, part 2 showing the dragon Smaug and the great war.

I can say my fears about the Hobbit I's 3D not being good as some suggested, have been put to rest. The Hobbit I 3D looks excellent in 3D, with impressive distance between the 3D layers, which indicates they didn't have the cameras too close together, which would've resulted in a flatter look as in Tron Legacy 3D. When they filmed this in 3D, they knew what they were doing, which is a relief. I'm not saying it couldn't have been pushed a bit more, but what's here looks great.

The trailer was a little slow in pacing, showing mostly just character moments, with only a glimpse of the Trolls in the forest.

3D for the trailer? I'd give it an A, compared to most 3D movies out there.

The Hobbit I and II 3D take place before the Lord of the Rings, where the old guy hobbit who Gandalf takes the ring from in the beginning, is actually Bilbo, who is younger in the Hobbit movies. Gandalf and Gollum return. The book The Hobbit, explores the power of the ring in more depth, and there's plenty of adventure, action, monsters, exploration, etc.

Of course if one didn't like the trilogy Rings, then this probably won't convince them to see it.

I'm assuming that this is the 3D trailer that everyone is talking about?

Can't wait for this one. Don't know if I want to see it in 3D at my cinema though.. passive 3D and all 3D presentations have been shit there although I haven't seen any true 3Ds, only converted crap. The only real 3D I've seen at a cinema was Avatar which looked amazing, but that was so long ago that I can't even remember and I still don't have a copy.

Anyways, LOTR is my all time favourite movie so it will be a blast. Might watch this one in 2D at the cinema.. but not sure. They are using real 3D technique when shooting this and it's not some random amateur director/producer :P

I saw the trailer in Imax 3D once. Would like to see it again(maybe when I go see Wrath of the Titans? XD)

Yeah, I was impressed by the stronger filmed 3D in the trailer for the Hobbit. The 3D layers are clear and convincing. Hopefully the entire movie matches the quality of the trailer's 3D strength. Pop outs are nice, but I'm sure we'll get a few in the final movie.

No problem. The Hobbit (book) has just as much adventure as LOTRs, so this should deliver.

Based on the 3D trailer and being filmed in 3D, this one delivers stronger 3D. Definitely see it in 3D if you can.

Seeing it twice is a good way to prove to oneself what you saw the first time was accurate. I saw Avengers twice, and the 2nd time gave me a better impression of the 3D being strong. We'll see if the actual movie delivers on that caliber, but The Hobbit 3D should be consistent hopefully, since it was filmed in 3D and not converted like Avengers (where they can improve the 3D of only the trailer, while the rest of the film has average 3D, but I hope not).

Obviously there is a few people here that just didnt get it. For every masterpiece there is a whole slew of 1-sided minds that just cant get their heads around perfection. As for the people that do get it, well, you know!!!!

LOTR's is one of the best medieval/fantasy adventure movies around, agreed.

Really looking forward to The Hobbit 1 and 2 3D. The Rankin Bass cartoon "The Hobbit" was really good, along with the book, and reminds that there is plenty of adventure ahead, as Bilbo goes out on his dangerous quest. The 3D, if it lives up to the trailer, will not disappoint me.

[brian9229]

Ok this movie is being filmed in 5k res at 48 fps, is it just me, or is this movie going to have the best picture of any movie ever???!!!

they sure will. I recently read posts by very obvious 3D haters who said .
That Clash of the Titans 3D and The Last Airbender 3D had much much better 3D than either Avatar 3D or How to Train Your Dragon 3D had when they saw them,

hoooo boy!!!

[disrember]

I am really curious to know what's going to happen with the 48 Frame rate at cinemas. Traditional IMAX theatres have tried film at 48FP, but it was too bulky... so what will they do.


<<Dolby is being very mum on the subject on which theatres will be outfitted to playback in Atmos for 'Brave' - oh the anticipation!>>

I had a quick look at the IMAX BFI in london when I was there to see prometheus and looked to me to have the necessary speakers to do this.

ahhhhh didnt know that, o i cant wait

[AmrlKJaneway]

I assume that's because IMAX film is very bulky, and that this will be shot and projected digitally.

3 hours of movie + 2 filmstrips for 3D + twice as many frames = excessively bulky film...
