Summary: Any list of the best trilogies of all time includes The Lord of The Rings. These hugely successful films are a tough act to follow, but filmmaker Peter Jackson decided to try with The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. The film is the first of three prequels set in Middle Earth 60 years before The Lord of the Rings. But the technology used is far more futuristic. The images are very high definition, and the film even shows twice as many frames per second as a normal movie. Some say this technology makes classic characters like Gollum more real. Others think all the detail actually reveals flaws in the film and makes it seem fake. Jason loves The Hobbit, but Vanessa isn’t so sure about it.
