The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Ar instal the new version for android

Despite the epic battles, amazing visuals, and stunning sound, Five Armies has a lot less plot to work with than previous movies. Here’s where the movie fan in me is required to add a small… however. The foley artists must have worked overtime on this one, because every battle sounds absolutely fantastic. There is so much going on in every pan of the camera, that it would take multiple viewings to truly take in every detail. With all this mass-mythical-creature-clashing, the Atmos sound positioning actually assists in directing your eye to the key action in all of the din. For those who haven’t read the book, (don’t worry, this spoils nothing) the five armies are: Orcs, men, dwarves, elves, and eagles. Speaking of battle scenes, hope you like them, because 85% of the movie is comprised of fighting of some sort. Trolls have weight and heft to them like never before, battle goats hop on rocky ledges with a realistic stride, and despite enormous and lengthy war scenes, there is never a moment where the CG pulls you away from buying into the action. Smaug the dragon is back this episode, and his scenes don’t disappoint in fact, the detailing and physics of all the CG is absolutely brilliant. In fact, some of the most successful 3D elements are ones that show depth: gazing down into a deep mine, or up through a broken roof into the sky. That said, Jackson never verges into tawdry 3D tricks to justify the use of the format. Somehow, my brain never quite believes that there’s a sword swinging out over the audience in front of me. I find the glasses never fit right, and always glare, and the 3D visuals themselves rarely add to the experience for me.

Generally speaking, I’m not a huge fan of 3D. Closing out Bilbo’s story as well as setting up Frodo’s Lord of the Rings is no easy task, and Peter Jackson manages to capture every moment of the battles described in Tolkien’s tome, and then some.First, let me tell you that the premiere of the Hobbit I was treated to was the Dolby Real D 3D and Dolby Atmos version, which, as expected, completely immerses you in detailed sound and visuals.

Tolkien fans, fantasy nerds, and Jackson completists will be out in droves December 17th to witness the final chapter of the Hobbit series: The Battle of the Five Armies.
