It's only "cinematic" in movies because of limited tech. I made the mistake of watching The Hobbit in HFR. It was only a mistake because I've seen what we could have, but again idiots said no because it's new and different.
What did you see it in HFR? I would like to experience that again
I saw it in theaters at release. I think AMC carried it? The first one only, I don't think the others had them, though not sure as I didn't see movies then (no money).
Personally I prefer the cinematic muddiness for movies, at least for now. I watched one of the Nolan Batman movies in 60fps hdr and you could see the wires and the winch and other set equipment when they did stunts.
There needs to be an awkward time. It was the exact same way when higher resolution first took off. I thought the Prestige looked bad because you could see the set work. The high resolution stayed though and they figured out the tricks to make things look good. High frame rate never got that chance
4:3 to 16:9 releases were fun because a lot of shows captured part of the set on the sides, which otherwise always got cut for TV. But then the DVD releases shows you everything lol
