    I spent a while testing many blurays on it using the TrueMotion setting, literally like 2 weeks, and I never got used to it. It just looked weird to me all the time. Every time the camera panned or there was some fast action on the screen, it almost looked like that weird pan and scan effect. It so clearly looks processed when the framerate gets too high.

    I have a feeling that Jackson had spent so long testing this and shooting the film that he's so used to it now, but I hope he is isn't surprised people are reacting negatively to it. You can't expect someone to just like this effect or force themselves to get used to something that doesn't look good to them.

    Even if more directors do this, there will always be those traditional guys like Chris Nolan or the Coen brothers who will never use this. Like I said with the album/cassette comparison, they still make vinyls because there are so many people that still love it. 24fps films are never going away, thank god.

    • Im starting to look at Jackson as a technology whore like Lucas and Cameron. Just shoehorn all the latest shit in.CygnusZero4
    • Sorry I said TrueMotion, on the Sony its called MotionFlow.CygnusZero4
