The Hobbit

Tweet

It's the opening weekend for the new Hobbit movie, and I've really been looking forward to seeing this one. I loved the LOTR movies, and I remember reading the Hobbit back in school, plus, this time there is a new style to the cameras. The digital cameras they used for it work at 48 frames per second, against the usual 24 fps for many digital movies, and 29fps for TV. And it looked great. Using this new style of video, it looks very realistic, it takes away from the more flat, fictional look of a lot of movies. It's something you really do need to see, to understand. I'm a bit back and forth with it, because it makes everything look so real, but because of that, the extras in the background look more like extra actors then part of the background of the story... but it's just the beginning of this style, and I hope this pushes it into Hollywood. But the movie, is SO MUCH FUN! It's a great storyline, you really feel for the characters, the bad guys are so bad (the girl I was watching it with was just shrieking at the antagonists) and the good guys are so fun... you really feel like they're in danger, and you're really rooting for them. But the biggest part, was the action scenes... Whoa! So cool to watch! It's a part that this new 48fps really really makes a difference. When there's a lot of action going on, nothing is blurred, you see it so much better, and you feel like you're really there... plus they were also ultra cool. I really recommend seeing this one, and I don't think it'll make much of a difference if you see it in 2D or 3D, or if you see it on a normal screen or some ultra screen, it's hard for you to go wrong, with this great movie.
