Peter Jackson's "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" premiered in New Zealand last week to a huge crowd and got great reviews.
But the conversation about how good the movie shot in new 3D technology has now turned into how the technology made movie goers sick.
According to a Daily Mail report, "avid Middle Earth fan," said his/her eyes could not take everything in. The viewer said the movie was dizzying and resulted in a migraine.
"Check with your cinema if it is going to show The Hobbit at 48fps or the traditional format," one person tweeted. "Think twice if its 48fps. Take a sick bag!"
But while some viewers who have seen the movie complained of the fast speed that results in sickness, others who haven't seen the movie say they are excited to see it.
"I don't think I'll be able to sleep the night before I go to see The Hobbit," one person tweeted.
Another Twitter user said "anyone wanna dress up for the hobbit movie? Gonna be epic. When else could a 6 footer dress up as a hobbit without getting any comments."
"I had the Hobbit countdown app when it was at 250 days now only 11 days remain," one Twitter user said.
The New York Daily News gave one of the few reviews out and said "'The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey' remains faithful to the fantasy world last seen in the 2003 Academy Award-winning 'The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.'"
"The movie offers technological wizardry, thanks to a 48 frames-per-second format, twice the industry standard," the reviewer wrote. "Critics who saw a trailer earlier this year were unimpressed, but after a minute or two of adjusting, the higher resolution is eye-popping, similar to discovering HD television for the first time."
"He's brilliant. He's the heart of the movie. It's beautiful." -@WoodElijah said about Martin Freeman's performance in #TheHobbit
The Hobbit opens on Dec. 14.
