24FPS is gonna stick around for a while. I've not seen any high framerate movies that didn't make the movie set look like a...movie set. This is great for sports and documentaries where a better visualization of the subject is always better, but in movies it just makes everything look like it was manufactured as quickly and as cheaply as humanly possible--because it was. I feel like high framerate, even more than 4k, lets you "see" the set and the makeup and the props as a hastily crafted illusion. Everything looks fake. Even the body language looks like acting in high framerate.
Meanwhile, in sports and documentaries everything looks more real, because it is real; there's no set, no props, no act--well less acting. More acting in soccer.
I'm sure at some point in the future set designers and the props departments and all that will figure out how to make 48FPS and above look good, but we don't live in that future yet.
