This is one of those movies that was "made for 3d" like Avatar, where in this case Peter Jackson made many deliberate cinematography choices to showcase the technology. For example, an early scene features a number of characters having a rowdy dinner together, and many shot choices are specifically set up to take advantage of 3d effects. I found when I watched this movie in "regular" 2d the scenes were kind of odd and felt a little out of place (like "why are we spending 10 seconds looking at the pantry?") until I remembered that PJ was trying to be creative with 3d tech.
It seems pretty difficult and/or expensive to get the mostly deprecated 3d home theater experience these days (3d TV, 3d glasses, 3d blu ray player, all hard to find), which is a little bit of a bummer just in terms of some creative energy that went into the tech a decade or so ago. But I would say that the "optimal" experience for this movie/this trilogy is going to be watching in 3d. My 2c, good deal for a 3d blu ray if you have the capabilities to play it in 3d.
Community Reviews
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey 3D is a strong pick for anyone who can actually play 3D Blu ray at home, since it was deliberately shot to use the format and the 3D presentation is described as the best way to watch it. The disc also draws interest because 3D playback can still work through older 3D TVs, projectors, VR headsets, or a PS VR setup. The main caution is compatibility, since this release appears to be a European version and may not play on US players. The listing also needs careful checking for format and digital copy details.
Common Questions (4)
A working 3D setup can require a 3D TV or projector, 3D glasses, and a 3D-capable Blu-ray player, which are harder to find now. Alternatives mentioned include a VR headset or a compatible Samsung 3D monitor, but they are not plug-and-play.
This listing appears to be a European release and may not play on US players. The region-coding concern is specific enough that checking the exact disc/region before buying is important.
Yes, PS VR 1 can be used for 3D movie playback, and it can work with just a regular DualShock 4 instead of motion controllers. A camera is still attached in the reported setup, so that part may still be needed.
The movie was deliberately shot for 3D, with framing and scene composition meant to use depth effects, so 3D is the intended viewing format. In 2D, some scenes can feel oddly framed or out of place.

Which Samsung 3d monitor?

For people who want to watch 3D without VR glasses, I assume people know that some projectors are the only currently sold products with 3D. Most theatrical 3D showings I attend are nearly empty with the exception of the Avatar movies where for some reason people are OK with that in 3D. Perhaps James Cameron 3D = good, all other 3D = bad. I always pick 3D over 2D when available.
