One major battle scene between Orcs, Elves and Dwarves had such intense flurry of motion that watching it in 3D did give me a bit of a headache. Sadly some of The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug's action scenes are dizzying in the bad way. Sometimes 3D can actually make the audience ill. With Jackson's preference for tight close ups, not every frame makes noteworthy use of 3D, but if you do this during a crowd scene of any of the many establishing shots of the world's labyrinth-like locations, you'll note many thoughtful uses of this device. Just take your glasses off, see how blurry things are onscreen without them, then put them back on to see how much things pop. This is an easy bang for your 3D buck test. This is definitely the area where the added dimension falters a bit. And though most of these are carefully lit to counter 3D glasses natural dimming effect, I still caught myself squinting at times in attempts to follow the action. Many sequences take place at night, in caves or in shadow. Plus, you get the enhanced sense of really being in the muddy villages, lofty mountains, and tangled forests full of danger. Everything feels bigger and thereby a greater threat to the wee Dwarves and Hobbit who are so far from home. Everything from the winding streets of Lake Town to the majestic halls of the Mirkwood Elves, and the glittery, gold-strewn cavern of Smaug is made more spectacular by the enhanced depth of field. Here The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug really shines.
Lovely little things like snowflakes, birds and bees, float out into the theater, as do less friendly things, like the snapping jowls of horrible beasts and fangs of hissing giant spiders! No joke: if you or your kid are freaked out by spiders, this sequence in 3D could prove traumatizing.Īs opposed to Before the Window, this is the aspect of 3D that stretches back into the screen/the world of the film. Often, this is used to punctuate moments of action or beauty, and in The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug it does both. This is the aspect of 3D where it essentially leaps out toward you, into your space and face.
