Reviewing the look more so than the story

Rating: Null/10 (9 January 2015)

Seeing this film in IMAX 3D probably helped me enjoy it much more than I would have in standard format. I came away from the showing not focused so much on the story and characters, but what was accomplished through the visuals. Even the quieter scenes had something interesting to look at. With some of the other 3D films I've seen, the effect loses its impact after a certain amount of time. The Hobbit was incredible right to the end. As it happens, I enjoyed the action and performances as well. I thought all three of these movies were fun and full of the joy of both making movies and telling stories. Reading through the other comments people have made, I see that many viewers nitpicked on small details which then seemed to ruin their experience. I hope I don't allow myself to end up like that, because I could have missed out on one of the best movie going experiences I can remember.
