Why so many times? [In reply to] Can't Post
Quite simply, I love Tolkien's beautiful stories and I love Peter Jackson's rendition of them. Smile

Because of this, I gladly support them and enjoy each viewing as a special occasion. For me, it's one of the things in my life that makes me tick. I have seen The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey 7 times. There are so many details to behold within the design, sets, and VFX that go along with the core of it all... the characters and story. Like many others here, I enjoy being transported to Middle Earth and experiencing it on a massive screen with totally immersive picture and sound. I saw all 3 of the LOTR trilogy many times in theaters as well and hoped that I would be able to do so when The Hobbit finally came to fruition. For me, there wasn't ever any question of whether I would like them or not. I knew that Peter Jackson and his entire crew would put their very heart, soul, and spirit into making the best movies that they could... and for me... those are beautiful, soulful, thoughtful, and enchanting movies. I am overjoyed at the opportunity to not only see the movie many times in theatres, but the choice of formats that have provided me different experiences altogether.

I loved HFR 3D and can't wait to see the final 2 acts in this format... loved it!

On my 7th viewing, after I had taken my beloved wife multiple times, I saw it with my father. He has never read the Lord of the Rings or The Hobbit and has only seen glimpses of The Fellowship of the Ring. He does not read fantasy, nor has he ever shown in any interest in Tolkien or the genre. Also, he has never been to a 3D movie in his entire life. He accepted my invitation to go see TH:AUJ in HFR 3D. When it was over, I asked him to be brutally honest. He absolutely loved it. The story, characters, design, visuals... everything. He loved it and has promised to see parts 2 and 3 with me.

So ultimately, why multiple viewings? It's a chance to share something I love, with people who have a mutual love for it as well as introduce new people to this world.
Middle Earth is New Zealand!
