An Unexpected Choice – IMAX, AVX, HFR, 3D And ATMOS…Where To Experience The Hobbit?
So, you plan on seeing The Hobbit over the coming holidays, eh?
Eager? Excited? Enthusiastic? All of these things and more? Well, the long awaited release date is finally here, so get your ticket and get in line like the rest of us!

Find out what it is and where you can experience it after the jump!
