The Hobbit: 2D or 3D?

[Gallus]

Will you see The Hobbit in 2D or 3D? I actually can't decide. One of the things I loved about LotR movies was the cinematography. It was beautiful. But with 3D the picture often looks dark not clear enough. Then again, it was filmed in 3D so it's "meant to be" seen in 3D...

[Arond]

2D. 3D technology still doesn't have the quality and my eyes hurt after watching it for too long.

[Dwarven Berserker]

2D. Because money, that's why

I just don't like to pay more for something that I feel doesn't add a lot.

[Raiven]

3D I don't have choice! But I believe it will good as 3D. Getting tickets for me and girlfriend tomorrow!

[IHV]

In cineam 3d for sure, anything less for a movie filmed in 3d and 48 frames are a shame.
Later in my tv 2d for many more hours

I might actually watch it in 2d later in cinemas aswell if 3d will seem out of place which i doubt.

[jinjo]

i think 3D will be better
but at home 2D of course

[StealthFox]

Both! I will try to see it in 2D first though, as I'm still skeptical of 3D.

[chriskourou]

3D for sure

[Altimis]

hmmm I'm 2D because I'm glasses.

[Captain Adverse]

hmmm I'm 2D because I'm glasses.

Exactly. I wear glasses also and 3D doesn't work well for me. But I also don't feel the need to be "in" a movie picture when the purpose is to "watch" what is going on.

Maybe when they develop real holographic rooms for first person adventure opportunities I'll buy into it. But 3D is a lame, unnecessary advance not worth the extra money to see.

[FountainGuard]

2D. Just because it's cheaper and I don't really care when it comes to the 3D effects, so why pay more?

[Galain_Ironhide]

I voted both. i'll get to the cinema and watch it 3D and eventually at home, when released, 2D.

aside from a few things really sticking out it seems to make no real difference. I found that when I watched Michael Bay's Blam Blam Boom Boom Transformers 3 at the cinema and then at home.

[Khay]

I'm curious to see if 3D is more comfortable when at 48fps, there is one cinema equipped, not too far from where i live, so that's will be 3D 48fps for me.

[Mhaedros]

Unless my dad or someone gives me cinema tickets for christmas I won't have the funds or interest to see it in 3d. Just have to wait for a DVD I guess

[divad]

2D of course.
3D is about entertainment, not about cinema. It doesn't make a bad movie into a good one. And it adds absolutely nothing to an already good one.
The best comparison I can find with 3D is fireworks. They can be pretty to look at, and... nothing else.

[Lothar135]

2D at first to fully enjoy the story without beeing distracted by 3D. 3D after that to fully enjoy the special effects

[Kahvipannu]

2D, I don't wanna wear glasses just to get some crappy 3D effects with double the price (really?). I just hope they haven't intentially made this "a 3D-movie", by that I mean f.ex. everything jumps towards you when it doesn't need. It just looks retarded and pulls you out of the movie when you watch movie at 2d and it's so obvious certain scenes only exist to show the 3D effect...

It's not the technology that is at fault, then, it's just retarded directors who can't make a movie properly and using the new tools they have at disposal without overusing the whole thing.

I don't mind with 3D technology in itself, of course being able to sense depth while watching a visual media adds to the experience! Saying that 3D is useless is pretty much as fusty as if someone said, in 1925, that sound films were because the overwhelming sound prevented from paying attention to the video.
Hopefully 48fps 3D while fix most purely technical problems people have with it, for the rest, it is a matter for the audience to learn to appreciate it when done with subtlety, and for lousy directors to quit imagining that SUPER MEGA AWESOME 3D EFFECTS EVERYWHERE UP IN YO FACE DUDES!!!! make for good movies.

Might be, but if you ask me 3d really doesn't add much to the experience, and I very much dislike wearing the glasses while watching the movie. To be honest, after 3D came out (again) the quality of many titles went down becouse the "industry" tryed to push this feature to the consumers with every single movie using this just for the sake of it. Now when the hollywood "blockbusters" hit the theatres they can just take double the money with "3D" tag in it with minimum effort, or "re-release" movies with same method.

It's an option, which is good, some might like it, and I bet some do. I just think the 3D would have to serve the movie, not other way around, by building the movie/scenes around the 3D effect, as I stated above.

We are at that ackward "transition phase" of old and new, the tech is there, but it's far far from perfect, and as you stated directors and such are pushed to use it for extra revenue, but pretty much no-one knows how to use it subtle/properly enough yet.

I find that the movies that are MADE for 3D (like Avatar) are great in 3D. And the ones that are made regular and they just put in 3D are crap. So I'm going for 3D on this one.
