With the latest installment in the Hobbit trilogy due for release this week, I’ve been left with the decision of whether to see it in 2D or 3D, or even high frame rate 3D. I saw the first part in high frame rate and thought it was a definite improvement on standard 3D films, however my wife said she thought it made it look too real, like watching an episode of Eastenders. She felt it took the cinematic feel away from the film which being a fantasy film needed to be there.
I have to say I’ve never been overly impressed with 3D in the cinema, it feels like it is stuck on at the end of the editing as a way to make more money. There aren’t many 3D films which I’ve watched and thought that it has added anything to the experience. I have a 3D TV at home and I have to say the quality doesn’t even compare in the cinema, but even with the improved quality it still seems unnecessary in most films.
