Here Are the Official Hobbit 3D Glasses

Following in the footsteps of movies like The Avengers, The Hobbit will be “giving away” special 3D glasses. You can have a look at them right here.

 

 

What do you think about the 3D fad? I’ve yet to see a movie use it as more than a gimmick. I know it gives great depth to the film and is supposed to pull you further into the magic of the cinema, but I don’t care for it much. After twenty minutes it just looks flat anyway.

Also, the surcharges for 3D are ridiculous. The studios and theatres should just offer it for free. I bet it would attract more people and make more money for the theatres and the studios.

So, I’ll be skipping this in 3D. What about you?

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, the first in the trilogy, hits theatres December 14th.

    Certified ReadlD? More like Certified Shit. Ill save my money and see it in 2D. Thats more REALD than 400000D.

    I’m really curious to see this in 3D and at 48fps, actually looking forward to it.

    I do agree that they should drop the 3D charge, I bet 3D attendance would spike. Sell the glasses so that way folk will just hold on to them.

    I think the more ridiculous surcharge is the one for the “Lie-Max” screens and it’s usually bigger than the 3D too. But most people don’t know what a real I-Max is

    I agree. Well, mostly. I saw Promethius in 2D, my first 2D film in about 2 years. It looked stunning on the screen I saw it on, as did TDKR. Very sharp, bright and hi-def looking. Then a week later I saw Promethius again in 3D (first time I’d tried the same film in both formats) the 3D was terrible in 3D. It didn’t need to be 3D at all.

    Don’t get me wrong, sometimes 3D can be great, if done right like Avatar, 3D slightly improved Phantom Menace too as the horrid cgi characters and compositing bluescreen stuff that used to look very cgi and out of place, actually All had the same depth and made real people and cgi characters match perfectly. The darkness added by the glasses also helped tone down the gawdy colors of the film. Thats the first post conversion of an old film that I thought 3D improved the film. Wasn’t perfect mind, but that was the last time I would watch that film and it was a better last memory to have of it.

    Mostly though, things like Avengers etc was good in 3D but I’d rather see that again in crisp bluray on a big tv next time. (However, I am very impressed with the 3D TVs and I reckon that looks better than on the cinema, so I wish i had a 3D tv.)

    A fad lasts no longer than a season, digital 3D has been around for eight years in the commercial cinema market.

    You liked the Avengers 3D? I thought it was mediocre.

    And I still can’t figure out how I have 4 disagrees.
