TheOneRing.net directed me to
this blog by Pulitzer-prize-winning still photographer Vincent Laforet. He saw
The Hobbit three times. Once in HFR 3D, once in normal 3D, and once in 2D. His thoughts on the different projections types and the effect they have are fascinating and well worth the read. I had a chance to catch
The Hobbit in 2D on Monday, and it is a
better movie in that format. Many of my original complaints seemed less significant. The opening was easier to follow and the story was more immersive, even though it was the second time I'd seen the movie, while Azog's CGI was less noticeable. Official recommendation: See
The Hobbit at 24fps. 2D or 3D is up to you. Afterwords, if you're still interested, check out the HFR, but don't see that version first. Regardless of what Peter Jackson and
James Cameron think, this isn't going to be the future of cinema any time soon.
