Thanks to my friends, I was able to see The Hobbit at midnight in IMAX HFR 3D 48FPS. While in the beginning I had to adjust my eyes and brain to realize that I was watching more frames than normal, which led to everything in the beginning feel fast paced for me, I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed my time watching the movie.
While the story may feel like it is dragging on, Peter Jackson is trying his best to stay true to the original source material and not cut anything out. This is truly a challenge as the book itself is long with overdrawn out side plots, all of which fall necessary when it reaches the end sequence of the entire book. This is what Peter Jackson is culminating up to.
Now, what I really like about the movie is the visuals. While I did see it running at 48FPS, the amount of detail that goes into this movie is amazing. From costumes to backgrounds, everything is cautiously picked out and placed according to the book. At times, the amount of CG on screen is not too overwhelming at times, however, when the chase sequence takes place near the end of the film, you can definitely see all the CG with the long camera swoops into the action.
I thoroughly enjoyed this new 48FPS viewing and expect to see more movies coming out that excel to this level of quality when using this production technique.
