I think I have never seen a movie in a digital cinema, let alone MotionFlow. There are cinemas like that in Vienna, but they only show dubbed movies. In Frankfurt I am glad to see movies in the original language at all... Oh, interesting. I think I have never seen a movie in a digital cinema, let alone MotionFlow.

A big part of the cinematic experience is the 24fps feel. On things like Sony MotionFlow, cinematic movies suddenly look like cheap soap operas, and the best animated films turn into either video games (if they're CG) or cheap Flash animation (if they're 2D). When I saw Ratatouille on MotionFlow, it looked impressively silky-smooth, and as a result it also looked very "cheap." I'm sure it's fine for sporting events (which I don't care about one way or the other) but for cinema it just makes everything feel like it came from the uncanny valley.
