The Hobbit at the IMAX last night. Not sure they showed it in the 48fps, and if they did I didn't notice it. I'm a 3D sceptic but it worked brilliantly here. Not suited to action scenes, but the landscapes and more static interior shots are stunning. As for the film, well I'm bias, as a massive LOTRs fanI was always going to buy into it totally. I get what Kermode said about the ponderous first half hour, but then Fellowship... did the same, it's par for the course when you're about to embark on a 9 hour epic (more like 20 if you include the LOTRs trilogy). Never felt silly or juvenile, and Gollum again steals the show. I get the cynicism about turning a slim volume into three epic films but remember they're including a lot of Tolkiens extended universe, the fans will LOVE it. Going to see it again in 2D thought, as impressive as it was you, ironically, lose any sense of scale.
