"You can see what showings are at 48 FPS at the Vancouver Cinetopia by going to the Fandango page. That's helping me pick me non-48 FPS show, that's for sure. In case you wanted to pass it along.<br>

It doesn't seem like the Beaverton Cinetopia lists them at this point."<br>

      <![CDATA[I think the new format looks amazing. Sure, the first half hour or so of the film looks terrible. The outside scenes at the beginning reminded me of a Teletubbies episode. Over bright and too saturated. <br>
If it continued like that then I would think the new 48fps was a mistake. But, after a while your eyes get use to what they're seeing and its amazing. Everything is so crisp and vivid and clear. I thought the set and costume designs hold up to the extra scrutiny that they receive. <br>
The first time I saw HDTV I thought it looked terrible and over sharp and just weird. but I got use to it. same as this new format.
