"real"

not sure if that is due to the faster fps used (48 not 24) or what.

Responses:

the buzz that is bad, is *really* bad. If critics are bitching about the frame rates, the audience is going to loathe it. -- nm - Jovian Apr 25, 08:12 21
- Oh, it's 30fps? -- nm - Beryllium Apr 25, 08:15 5
  - 48 -- nm - tRuMaN, (not a knock off version) Apr 25, 08:15 4
    - I've always said that 30fps seemed to lack gravitas ... 48 must be like helium. But if any movie can bring gravitas in another way, it would be that -- nm - Beryllium Apr 25, 08:25 2
      - isn't 30 fps television and 24 is film? or am I misremembering? -- nm - zork Apr 25, 08:33
      - 8 fps is more than enough! -- nm - Hiroshi Sasagawa Apr 25, 08:27
    - there was a link yesterday about how this movie will change ... movies. -- nm - zork Apr 25, 08:16
- I think critics are like baseball writers and hate change. They want their movies to look like movies. -- nm - zork Apr 25, 08:14 14
  - So does your average movie goer. I know I certainly do -- nm - Jovian Apr 25, 08:15 12
    - High frame rates make stuff look like it was shot on security cameras -- nm - con_carne Apr 25, 08:35 6
      - But if you compensate for the effect with good lighting, familiar angles, and stellar cinematography - it might overcome that effect. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 25, 08:37
      - you can't recognise anyone in the picture? -- nm - zork Apr 25, 08:37
      - why is that? I thought high frame rates would look better. -- nm - loosilu Apr 25, 08:37 3
        
        Uncanny smoothness - con_carne Apr 25, 08:43
        
        The best DVD example I've seen in favour of 30fps+ is the opening credits to Nic Cage's gone in 60 seconds -- nm - Beryllium Apr 25, 08:40
        
        too smooth, no flicker apparently. -- nm - zork Apr 25, 08:38
    - I disagree. The Average movie goer has no idea what you are talking about -- nm - Beaker Apr 25, 08:26 3
      - The average moviegoer has a brain that tells them "omg what are my eyes seeing?". Whether that is good or bad remains to be seen. - Beryllium Apr 25, 08:29 1
        
        I have a feeling it will dowl people over in an Avatar way. If not, they can drop half the frames and show it at 24fps. -- nm - zork Apr 25, 08:35
      - "WTH? This looks like video, not film." -- nm - TWuG Apr 25, 08:28
    - for me, it would depend on the subject, genre, etc. I'm certainly not against 48 and if all going forward were that, I'm ok. -- nm - zork Apr 25, 08:18
  - agreed -- nm - Beaker Apr 25, 08:14
