48 FPS THE HOBBIT

Director Peter Jackson used 48 frames per second to shoot The Hobbit in order to achieve greater depth and clarity. He hoped that younger audiences would be attracted to view the superlative spectacle on the big screen. Source: Cinema Blend

the effects look amazing; others say it makes the sets look cheap and the whole thing feel like a BBC series. Reactions are definitely mixed, and we will probably have to see a few more movies in the format before we know for sure if 48 fps is sticking around.
