For me it is the next thursday, in 48fps i hope.
And yes, from what i have read they split up "The Hobbit" into 3 parts (and i´m not amused about that "just for the $!" strategy).
My gf wants to see it too, but she doesn't want to spend extra money on the 48fps. In a way she's right.
How on earth can you charge for 2x more frames being shown in the same time?
Cinemas and retailers who claim the software updates are costly are effing liars if you ask me. These 100's thousands dollars/euros costing projectors can do this natively.
On the other hand. From a tech side and because of this discussion I'm curious to see it in 48fps/3d.
Actually, for best comparison I'd need to see it in 2D as well. With my gf then probably.
Not sure whether I'll be able to go through 3 hours of extended/dragging story twice.
I agree the splitting of the story in 3 parts is a shame. To quote something I can't remember where I've seen it "The Hobbit, the only case where it takes more time to watch the movies than to read the book".
All for dollars, yuk.

Just for your info: The German dubbing actor of Gandalf died a short while ago. His voice was a rly great one and gave Gandalf lots of emotion and believable soul.
We Germans have to face the old Gandalf now with a different voice, so i´m curious till anxious about the outcome..
Well, without meaning to sound like a dick, this seems to be a perfect opportunity for Germany to stop dubbing movies
Use subtitles and enjoy the original sound of the voices
Dubbed voices miss the original depth created by the original location of shooting and audio mastering and although I admit that the voice actors aren't as crap as over a decade ago (they're actually quite good at transferring the characters emotion), it still isn't what it's supposed to be.
