Did they show the Atmos demo clips before the movie start ?

Owh crap. Now I have pressure on me.

I think the 6.45PM slot is about to begin. Then again, the 2D version is underway now. So lets hope there's someone here who can help us with an earlier Atmos review.

There is however, 1 thing that bothers me. It's a fantasy movie. what if certain sounds, are just meant to be downplayed? How would I know on that one?

But I'll let you know if I end up looking behind me if there's coming from there. That's what I'm looking forward to.

Nope they didn't, that's another reason why I think we were just hearing regular surround sound instead of Atmos.

During the 30 minutes before the movie started they were showing the opening of the movie, again and again, sometimes it's 3d, sometimes it's 2d, sometimes it's just a distorted version. Then they showed some movie trailer with Ben Stiller, but even that also got problem and they didn't finished showing the trailer

But I did saw those overheads speakers on the roof just like in that Atmos video. But not sure if it was used or not during my screening.

Hey! Secret Life of Walter Mitty is going to be fun! (I hope )

haha no need pressure la, just tell us your experience and if you have to wait for 30 minutes like us just now

and maybe you could look out for any Atmos intro or demo before the movie starts. Like last time got that THX intro.

They showed that trailer like 3 times just now, but each time it got distorted and didn't finish.
The final time they showed it there's a scene where was Ben Stiller at a door just "stuck" at the screen and it stayed there even when the Hobbit already started, before they just shutdown the projector.

definitely my worst experience ever at a cinema.

damn... I already booked the ticket for tonight 9.45, hope they will fix the problem by then

base on my last experience with Dolby Atmos, I watch Oblivion in Vietnam, the different with other normal theatre is not that obvious, but if u listen carefully, the surround effect much more seamless & sound positioning is more accurate & natural, so if anyone who expect extra Boom Boom Bang on LFE might find it disappointed, but for my personal preference I prefer Atmos then IMAX sound system, for me IMAX sound too loud & too harsh.

anyway, will see how it ends tonight

One thing I hate about HFR or in general 3D movie... is there is no english subtitles for elves and orcs

Trust me if there's HFR it would feel miles different from the usual halls. It's impossible to not notice it. So TGV IMAX does not have HFR, ok. But it sounds like even the HFR hall in GSC isn't working?

Haha guys let's focus on the content instead of how it will be presented. The content is a bit disappointing... No amount of Atmos or IMAX can improve it

i dont like the ending... also no post-credits scene..

To be continue, next year....

Can somebody explain me . why gandalf didnt follow the hobbit but instead go solo .. i still cannot brain this . cause he said follow to that house later gandalf dont know any shit where the hobbit go

its obvious that the human must use the panah hitam to use to the dragon ..

Great news!

3/5 for me. I watch 3d.
Story less draggy and more action than the first, but still draggy. Lack the epic feeling. No epic moments really if u wan to compared it to LOTR, but it has its moments (hint legolas)
3D nth special, abit of 3d effects infront( insect n particles) but nt worth the money n eye strain.
Still feel they milking the franchise , im a lotr fan

2.5/5 fer me.

its unfair to compare it wif LOTR coz it just supposed to be kids bedtime fantasy story.

kinda disappointed in this one.

like the other person mentioned, it lacks the epicness. I liked The Unexpected Journey, and at least it made me go "Wow." TDOS made me slouch and rest my head on my hand a few times, and they pretty much dropped out a few favourable scenes in the book that would've made the movie much better..



some scenes were fun, like



the battle scenes were mehhhh. maybe lotr had set too high an expectation for me but HOPEFULLY the war of the five armies in the third installation will put us on the edge of our seats.

Conclusion, TDOS was poorly written.

2.7/5 for me

I enjoyed the epic barrel river battle segment. normal 2d is 24fps. HFR is ... ?
