Hobbit to be Released in Dolby Atmos
Forget 3D, this year, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey will be released with the new Dolby Atmos surround technology. Dolby Atmos is a new immersive sound system that uses two extra arrays of overhead speakers. The idea is that directors and sound designers can send audio specifically to any speaker within a sound system they want. They can sort of do that now, however Atmos amps up the possibilities to even greater proportions. For example, with full range surround speakers and overhead arrays, immersive sound in theaters will have a greater chance of immersing the viewer in the environment. You can get some serious environmental effects in a live room, but with theaters direct sound is really essential due to the amount of absorption that is present. Atmos seeks to put the sound where it's needed.

Yeah, saw that yesterday. Really depends on if you have a theater near you to take advantage of it though. I will have to check my area, but I think there is only one that has it and it isn't close.
**OK, just checked and there are two theaters with it. One in SF (1hr) and one actually not so far away (20min), so I may have to check it out.
Brave and Taken 2 were also released in Atmos.

For the life of me I don't know why film buffs would be against 48 fps. Because it is not the original frame rate? Then they should be upset with sound and color.

I don't get it either and I consider myself to be a film buff. IMO, the more FPS, the better the image quality. I can still like my small, minimally produced, unknown actor indy flicks, but if someone wants to blow the doors off with sound and image, I will buy a ticket.Originally Posted by mtrycrafts
