The new "Hobbit" movie is producing more than just rave reviews. Some viewers have complained of motion sickness and nausea when seeing "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey".

Warner Brothers explained if in fact those experiences happened, it was probably because of the speed at which the movie was filmed.

"The Hobbit" was shot using 48-frames-per-second technology, which is double the standard rate. It was also shot in 3-D.

It makes images sharper and motion appear faster.
