High Frame Rate Fallout Can't Post
We can all agree that the High Frame Rate version of The Hobbit is receiving mixed reviews. I'm wondering if PJ has responded yet, or if any other news studios adjusting to the feedback has come out. Why might there be a response, you ask?

A lot of folks don't like it, and that creates a lot of negative energy surrounding the whole affair. Enough of a negative energy to make it land on some jerk's worst-of list and make a lot of ill-informed people think the movies are under-performing.

My feelings on the subject are best summed up by my favorite web comic: Weregeek link "If the best you can say is that you didn't hate it as much as you thought, it may not be worth it." Wisdom, that is.

I know the comic is talking about 3D, and that's a questionable inclusion as well, but I think the more egregious technology here is HFR. Not because its terrible, but because of the subject matter. The Hobbit is fantasy. When people complain about seeing fake costumes too clearly, it makes me sad. For the same reasons that a beautiful anime movie is beautiful, maybe a fantasy movie is more fantastical without crisp realism. At least, until the technology is more widely accepted.

Thoughts?
