Did anyone try watching Gemini Man in 60fps?
That takes some getting used to. It's hard to describe, it's like watching someone's home video. It doesn't feel cinematic at all.
I think that's mostly just because you're not used to it.
Also 60 and 48 fps are a bit of an odd middle ground. I'd be interested to see a 240fps film. (also I bet it would make 3D look way better)
Oh look! A tech fetishist moron that looks at spec sheets when deciding on a movie to see. I hear Crap Furnace (2025) used a 64K camera that shoots 10,000 fps and has 40 stops of dynamic range. You should go see it. I hear it looks like absolute crap
Chill
You seem a little riled up.
For the record, I think framerate has nothing to do with the quality of a film. Art direction, script, and performance are what matters.
I stand by me previous comment though, not sure what gives you the wrong impression?
I really enjoyed the smoothness of Gemini Man especially with action scenes which are like half the movie. I think it's possible to make 60fps cinematic by using focus better to better imitate our eyes.
Films and tv series should always be in 24fps. Anything above is just odd and like you said makes them feel like home videos. Back in the day I remember when I was looking for a new tv and the salesman tried to sell me a 100hz tv because the movies will totally look better in it. I told him that he doesnt know what his selling and left the store.
I don't think anyone watched Gemini Man.
