1. I watched the minute clip of the movie and then felt immediately guilty – like sneaking peeks at your Christmas presents before you are supposed to open them. Ah well… 😛
2. Quoting Peter Jackson talking about Martin Freeman: ” …and we hadn’t settled on anyone else, and I was torturing myself by watching ‘Sherlock Holmes’ on an iPad at 4 o’clock in the morning,” I LOL’d!!
I almost watched the clip then stopped myself. I don’t want to spoil it. =D
I don’t know about framerate making anyone nauseous, but does anyone think the 3D effect could bring on a migraine if you have them chronically? I have a nintendo 3DS that I can’t use the full 3D effect on without taking my contacts out. If I try to play with them in I start getting a headache.
I would say yes star. 3D makes me uncomfortable, and sometimes headaches, and I am not prone to them. I would try and see it in 2D if you can – alot of theaters offer both.
