except for azog and the wargs, i think most of the cgi has been excellent.

but on that topic - one thing i heard is that the reason why PJ used more CGI instead of 'bigatures' is that in HFR 3d, you can't really use them as well? did anyone else hear that? I dont recall if the EE documentaries mention it.

if so, its a shame because HFR does not work. I have said it elsewhere: other than making 3d easier on the eyes, HFR is a step backwards and requires too many downstream compromises.

arrgh, why couldnt IMAX (real IMAX) catch on instead of 3d and HFR!?
