Weird, GSC lists the 3D as 3 minutes shorter than the 2D version.

How do I buy the tickets for HFR 48FPS online for TGV? Nothing is mentioned at all! And what is [cool.gif?

Ah much thanks for the help guys. Fail on TGV's part for not mentioning the slightest bit.

Pretty fun times at the theater. About a much fun as The Avengers, I'd say, maybe even slightly more so. I find it hard to believe people go gaga over that but not this. To me they are cut from the same cloth- same awe, similar problems.

Really liked the 48fps, made the 3D a lot better, though I do think it makes your eyes strain more, having to process fake 3D at twice the frequency.

So the atmos hall in GSC 1U shows it in HFR right?

Does TGV IMAX in 1U show it in HFR?

Certain showtimes for GSC 1U Hall 3 are for HFR I believe. Go look at the e-payment listing, sort by movie, choose HFR+Atmos.

Does TGV IMAX have HFR? No point watching if there isn't HFR.

I saw it in IMAX 3D but I don't quite know how to differentiate if it's HFR or not. The visuals are sharp but depth of the 3D was only as good as the films that are converted to 3D in post production.

It is very possible that GSC 1U's hall 3 could cater to HFR since the Atmos was just installed there. The hall seemed brand new, as though it's just renovated.

HFR was normal like tgv experience. Not even sure Atmos was in action.... like no difference. Not surprised they screw that up too. Some scenes have nice surround effects eg forest, rain... but I can't say if its due to atmos

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?

Hahaha, wow. This is darker and more serious than the first movie. It's also entirely empty and vapid.

This is possibly the most boring film I've seen at the cinema this year. It takes an excruciating 2 hours for Smaug to even appear, and when he does he doesn't seem to do much except go on a repetitious hide-and-seek with the dwarfs while spouting generic one-liners (voiced by try-hard Cumberbatch, who feels like a poor man's Hugo Weaving to me). Just when it appears to get exciting, it ends. A dreadful movie.

Top marks for the 48fps presentation again (I hope more films get this treatment soon), but it's from a strictly technical perspective. The movie itself has little or no merits.

1.5/5
