The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey 2D

[12a]

New Zealand, United States 2012, 169 mins
Director: Peter Jackson
Starring: Ian Mckellen, Cate Blanchett, Elijah Wood, Martin Freeman

Synopsis

In this prequel to THE LORD OF THE RINGS, director Jackson brings back several Tolkien regulars for the fantastical tale of Frodo’s uncle, Bilbo Baggins (Freeman), and his quest to reclaim the lost treasure of the Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor.

Once again McKellen’s Gandalf the Grey is the instigator of an epic that involves incalculable danger and wry humour.

Benedict Cumberbatch enters Middle Earth for the first time as The Necromancer, while old hands Cate Blanchett, Christopher Lee, Elijah Wood, and especially Andy Serkis’ monstrous Gollum all add to the adventure.

Drenched in the most vivid colour, and with Jackson’s signature breathtaking special effects, THE HOBBIT will delight newcomers as well as die-hard fans of the series.
