We aren't meant to view films at such high frame rates. Right now we see films projected to us at 48 frames per second, however we are only seeing 24 of those, as the other 24 are just black frames. So essentially we are spending half our time in the theater, in darkness. We dont notice this though, as we need those 'moments' of darkness to process the images in our mind. With this new 48 FPS system, all 48 frames are being used to project images at us.

That really leaves no time to process whats going on, it'll look all sped up even though its not. It just looks phony and unnatural.
