'The Hobbit' is one hotly anticipated film. Not only is it another opportunity to see Peter Jackson tackle some Tolkien, but it's also a film that's pushing the boundaries of technology. Over 450 theaters will be showing the hobbit with HFR – that's 48fps high frame rate – and a decent chunk of those will be adding Dolby Atmos surround sound to the mix.
