The Bounty Bar Kid Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Just saw this and saw it in HFR 3D. HFR stands for High Frame Rate. Basically normal films in the cinema run at 24frames per second. This ran at 48fps. Hated it. Ruined film partially. My advice, don't watch it in this if given the chance!

spursmaddave Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Sometimes something isn't changed because it is better that way.... How was the film, I would say don't include spoliers but if anybody hasn't read the book Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will370z Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Ive heard its making some of the audience feel very sick too. Must admit not a fan of 3d in films, its just gimicky and often makes the film look tacky. Loved avatar, everything else.....ummmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will370z Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 (edited) Yeah thats the problem with cinemas, too many other people making too much noise. I remember years ago getting two young kids thrown out of the cinema and cars 2 because they kept talking constantly.

Dblock Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Just saw this and saw it in HFR 3D. HFR stands for High Frame Rate. Basically normal films in the cinema run at 24frames per second. This ran at 48fps. Hated it. Ruined film partially. My advice, don't watch it in this if given the chance! I thought the higher frame rate would make it less jerky and better? Agreed I watched Avatar in 3d and loved in. I watched another film the immortals I think? 3d wasnt great although I saw Freida Pinto's bum in 3d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bounty Bar Kid Posted December 15, 2012 Author Share Posted December 15, 2012 It wasn't the 3D that made it bad, it was the hfr. Would give the film 3/5. Slow at first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Anyway, I hate the cinema, full of other people Always welcome round ours Jim - its why we have a HD projector and 75" screen HFR like 3D will end up becoming defacto whether you like it or not. In principal it should make it better. What makes me laugh about gimmiks are these people that have 100+Hz screens when broadcasts are in 24Hz! With higher frame rates panning and action should be smoother and look nicer. The problem is for many years we've been used to 24 so doubling it is too much for most to take in a single jump.

DoogyRev Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Anyway, I hate the cinema, full of other people Always welcome round ours Jim - its why we have a HD projector and 75" screen Now that would be an expensive trip to the Cinema Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronzee Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Really looking forward to seeing this. The book was fabulous and Peter Jackson is very clever and being a Kiwi, just support the film. Lol, no I didn't get to go to the global pre-release party over here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Always welcome round ours Jim - its why we have a HD projector and 75" screen Yes but the only copy of the film you are likely to have would be a wobby cam version filmed in 480p which would look like Lego Hobbitt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neo Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Seen the film yesterday, sure it's a little slow in places,the time still flew by, very surprised how funny it was, much more light hearted than lord of the rings. ( don't kill me but i've never read any of the books ) can't wait for the next instalment now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ioneabee Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 I've never read them either (which is strange as I'm a sci-fi and fantasy fiction) would it be preferable to have at least seen the lord of the rings trilogy films first - I don't know which order this is in ?
