I don't get all the fuss around it but I'm reassured to read such a blog. I was really scared at first that directors would drop the >24fps because of the reception of The Hobbit.

In my mind The Hobbit was a persistant slap in the face, like everyone else I had to adapt, I felt like it was going fastforward the first minutes of the movie. But once I got used to it, it was like I was in the movie. I usually have a problem with action movies because of the lag that I can see. I've noticed I can see it really well due to me twitching my fps when playing FPS competitively. The Hobbit was different, I don't think I can go back to 24fps movies. Maybe for normal movies but not for CGI or action movies that requires a high FPS so it displays in a smooth way.

And now the bad thing I'm thinking about is that I'll have to buy a new TV so I can watch that kind of movie again. I thought that full HD and 3D were just some small evolutions, but HFR is a revolution.
