I don’t want 3-d and don’t want 48fps. Both mess up the viewing experience.

With 48fps you can see the makeup … totally ruins the fun.

While this new technology might look great, I wonder how this trend will affect smaller second-run theatres? Not all of them will be able to afford to upgrade.

There’ll be 2d also. PJ and probably every other movie maker today knows that lots of people won’t see a movie in 3d and that there will be a huge cut in the box office if a movie is shown only in 2d. I personally, plan to see it in both, as will many others. Yet another reason for the movie to be released in 2d and 3d: More $$$.

they always release 3d movies in 2d also. its still 48 fps so you’ll still get the full experience.

I can see 48fps being very impressive, especially in IMAX like environments where fast moving objects close to the edge of the screen move a bit more fluidly.

Strange.
Surely he knows that doubling the current standard cinema framerate wouldn’t improve the experience as much as it would be visually noticeable?
Switching between “3D-channels” for the left and right eye occurs (i believe) 144/sec.
That is only 6 cycles/sec.
Wait a minute… should doubling the framerate, and thus doubling the cycles, give people less chance for headaches? In that case, more people could see this and upcoming movies in 3D since this kind of tech would usually be applied to future movies.

Badass I’m super stoked. at 48fps and 3d people will feel like they’re in the movie!

*sigh* So I guess those of us who can’t watch 3D – of which there are millions – will be left out in the cold. How nice. Why directors are getting behind technology that shuts out so many viewers, I’ll never understand.

For those elder folk among us, where I count myself, I hope there will be a 2D version, too? Oh please? Cannot watch 3D.

Please don’t ruin movie experience. We don’t want to watch a spanish soap opera, but a movie. 24 FPS is perfect!
