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.

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.
