I would probably overdose on vicodin if someone made me go this movie just so I could sleep thru it and not have to watch such a piece of shit movie

You're a mensch

No, it's not like that, at all.

UnderEJ can explain it far better than me but it's like going from 8 track to 16 bit CD for the first time: It looks better and sounds better but your senses don't have time to adjust and can't comprehend immediately what they're hearing/seeing.

48 is the future.

I'll wait til bluray for the 48 fps.

I'm pissed off enough I have to watch this shit in 3D to see 9 minutes of Star Trek.

I loathe, loathe, loathe 3D because it darkens the picture. It's almost like the original image is corrupted.

I have no idea what the difference could possibly be. Of course, living in Topeka, I'll probably never get to see anything in 48 to begin with.

It still pisses me off that I will miss out on the Star Trek preview because it just HAS to be on IMAX. Just run the damn preview for all theaters you jackasses.

This.

Heres a story from yesterdays LA Times talking a little about it. It mentions in there how a few previews of it months ago some audience members found the image a little "jarring". Like i said, its going to some time for alot of movie goers to get used to.

Proponents of the higher frame rate say it packs the screen with far more visual information and makes the moving image super-sharp and detailed. But patrons accustomed to the softer look of traditional film may have to adjust to the higher frame rate.

At a 10-minute preview that Jackson shared at the trade show CinemaCon in April, some attendees found the images jarringly hyper-realistic and too unlike a traditional film.

Warner executives said that was unfair because it was rough footage that had not been color corrected.

"It really wasn't representative of what it looks like today," Fellman said. "I think it will have a big impact on the industry."

Peter Jackson commented on that a bit, and in effect said, "What they saw was an unfinished take, the final product is outstanding."

Got my tickets for the 12:01am HDR 3D show at the Ind. Commons. Looking forward to it!

Pretty interesting videos on the production of the movie. Here is one from YouTube.

It's like 300 pages.

Oh ok cool. I'll buy it. When does it come out?
