We went to The Hobbit in 3D this afternoon,  a 3 hour marathon which meant smuggling in quantities of sweeties and drinks to avoid a bucket of popcorn for a fiver. We didn’t plan to see it in 3D, but it was the only show with reasonable seats available. I’m not convinced about 3D films – the scenes look like a 2D image in front of another 2D image, not quite the same, although on a couple of occasions a bird hovered above the people in front of us, and once a troll tooth shot past my right ear. The film is shot in the amazing scenery of New Zealand, and the scenic shots were definitely superb in 3D. Chantal was not impressed by the film, expecting it to be the same as Lord of the Rings – The Hobbit was, of course, written for a younger audience, which is probably why I thoroughly enjoyed it…  Any volunteers to see Part 2 with me next year?
