Wait a sec, it wasn't actually shot on Imax though, right? It's just being upscaled to the imax screen?

That's right, yes. Normally I have a thing about not shelling out for IMAX unless it was shot in the format (or specially formatted as with Skyfall), but hey. Star Trek.

There'll probably be completists out there that have to see it in every combination possible.
It'll be interesting to see if HFR takes off, or just feels like cheap video.

I'm definitely going to give HFR a shot so I can at least make an educated opinion on it, but I suspect I will hate it.

HFR here too.
Re: How will you be seeing 'The Hobbit'? In 3D? IMAX? 48fps? Digital? 4K?
I think if I can find it in regular old 2D, 24p, I'm going to go with that first. That way I can just sit down and appreciate the movie for what it is, without being distracted by the new technology. Then, if it's playing in HFR 3D somewhere relatively nearby, I'll check that one out to see what it's like.

If I make a trip out to WEM I'll probably see it in IMAX, otherwise 2D.

I'm still extremely curious about the 3D 48. I will definitely be seeing that. Previously my intention was to see it like that first.
However, recently Dorkman made the point that you run a high risk of being miserable due to the circumstantial details of watching a new media form for three hours, and completely tainting your first experience with the movie. So now I'm not so sure.

No 3D, no 48 fps for me even if I could (and I probably couldn't around here; sometimes you even have to struggle to find an undubbed version viewing). Teague just said it, there's the risk of ruining your experience with the movie, and I won't have that.
But I'd definitely be up to experiencing the 48 fps afterwards. 3D? Never cared for it, and I don't think it's going to change with higher fps.

Thing is I'm not very excited to see the movie in the first place, so the new technology is actually more of a draw for me personally

I thought, why not, so snagged a ticket to the 3d 48, at my local theatre, which is a nice big one. Whether I get the opportunity to use the ticket due to work is another issue, but we'll see.

My first experience with THE HOBBIT will be in 2D at 24fps, because it's a movie.
If I enjoy the movie enough to see it again, I'll check a 3D 48fps screening for the novelty.

Like most, I'll definitely be doing the 2D 24fps for the first viewing. Even though 48fps is just going to look like that motion smoothing crap you get on new TV's these days, I'm still curious to check it out anyway.
It's exactly for that reason that I think HFR is going to become the next "new technology craze". People that love LOTR and are curious about the new tech are going to buy a ticket, and the film will make a ton of money. But from a Hollywood exec's point of view, I can see them going "well it made a lot of money because of HFR, let's make every movie like that from now-on!"
It happened with Avatar and 3D, and I can definitely see it happening again!

no, I don't think the Hobbit will be the thing that does it, but you can bet your ass when Cameron uses it on Avatar 2 and 3, everyone will start doing it (...shudder...)

I think my first viewing is going to be of the old animated version. Came out when I was in 4th or 5th grade, and is still damned fun

2D, 24p. I don't have the option to view it in HFR here, but 3D is an option, which I'll be opting out of. I don't like 3D unless it's animated films.
Granted, the only live action films I've watched in 3D are Pirates 4 and HP7-2, which weren't shot in 3D, but still. I enjoyed it in How to train your dragon and Tintin, though the latter kind of lost the whole "WHOA IT'S 3D!" effect rather quickly. It was just there and not in-your-face at all.

Based on these reviews, my first experience with the hobbit may very well be via the AppleTV.

I'm in for the 2D 24p version presuming the local theaters are actually gonna show it in 2D. Mostly because 3D has a tendency to give me a killer headache and I want to watch the Hobbit and not have to walk out because of it. Though I'm interested to hear what people have to say about 48p I'm wondering if it would resolve the headache issue.

By all accounts it's making them worse
