Viewers at early screenings of the Hobbit became nauseas while watching it in 3DHFR. 3DFR movies play a twice the FPS as regular movies to give a "more realistic feel" and "better quality". The people that watched it said it made them dizzy and looked really jumpy at times. It was even accused of strobing at certain points of the movie. Peter Jackson disagrees because it gives such a smooth 3D image.
This article is important because it doesn't sou d real. Peter Jackson and George Lucas have been pushing to get 3DHFR standard for all theaters because of its superior clarity. It leads me to believe the report is fake. 3DHFR is much smoother than any other 3D, therefore there would be no problems with the film being jumpy.
As a consumer, I don't want to get nauseas when I go to the movies. Although it is very unlikely I would ever go see a 3D movie, I don't want to get nauseas if I do. I don't know if there was something wrong with the projector playing the movie in New Zealand, but it sure doesn't sound likely to happen.
What happened that made people so nauseas? Why hasn't it been reported anywhere else but New Zealand?
