Why is a high frame rate better? I find motion blur in standard frame rates is what makes a movie immersive. Whenever I watch shows on a modern TV at HFR they just look like real life, as if you are standing next to the actor and seeing past all the theatre of it. Seems to me they slapped HFR on it just to make you think you are getting something different to the 2012 version and get you in seats.

It is questionable whether or not HFR is appropriate for film. I do agree that the motion blur you get in 24fps is excellent. I also like it even better when viewing on a 70mm film print. In my opinion, it would be great to see select scenes in HFR such as the famous docking scene from Interstellar. I don't feel there are any scenes that warranted HFR in Titanic and was curious to see what they would have chosen. Surprisingly very few scenes were added in HFR and the moments that were in HFR were very brief. The HDR is pretty nice but I think the main appeal of this release is to allow a new generation to see it in theaters and the 25th anniversary is just an excuse to allow this. Keep in mind that it is a limited release that I hear will end in a week or so. [1]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onVhbeY7nLM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onVhbeY7nLM

I'd be happy to see 24fps die. You said HFR shots "just look like real life" and to me that's precisely what any form of video SHOULD start with. You want to make an artistic choice, fine, but can we start with as crisp, clean, color rich, and highest frame rate possible please, and change those if the director or cinematographer think it'd be best to do so? Yeah: I'm one of those folks with Motion Smoothing On on my expensive TV. 24fps is a remnant. A slideshow. You're conditioned to like it from having seen it for years, but it's not in any way special. Let. It. Die.
