The interesting question is whether the dislike for HFR cinema is:
- Purely due to habit, with people having learned to associate LFR with high quality content (film) and HFR with low quality content (video). In this case, the problem will go away as soon as people get used to HFR (or die off).
- Due to the increased realism exposing sets, costumes etc. as fake. LFR may help filmmakers by providing a distraction that masks all the little flaws. In this case, the problem will go away (but only for new movies) as soon as filmmakers learn how to make things look good enough for HFR.
- Due to some intrinsic quality of LFR that is key to the magic of cinema. In this case, the problem will never go away.
Of course, people are immediately going to seize on one of these answers based on their personal preferences, but in reality we have no concrete evidence for any of them.
- hammock 11y agoI remember reading about how actors hated the switch to video and then the switch to HD, because it was far more likely to reveal their acne, other flaws etc. In audio engineering, the Yamaha NS10 studio monitors (now discontinued) are famous for their faithful, naked reproduction of sound. As a result, more mixes sound terrible on NS10's than on other speakers. They expose the flaws. Which is why an engineer tests his mix on them. "If it sounds good on NS10's it'll sound good on anything."
