For those of you on the fence about The Hobbit and/or 48 FPS, I can sum it up in one word: stunning.
My one word: mediocre
The movie is better than the poor reviews, but, it takes 2 3/4 hours to tell a very slight story. Oh, and it has no ending. It just stops.
I would LOVE to have seen 48 FPS on
FILM. Douglas Trumbull (BRAINSTORM, CE3K, 2001, BLADE RUNNER) wanted to use high frame rates decades ago but the costs were too prohibitive for the studios to swallow. Unfortunately, 48 FPS with digital makes it look like a high def TV show with that awful "smoothing" affect cranked to 10.
