I think 60fps is more beneficial for stuff that's more fast action oriented, like sports, and not as much with movies.
p.s. but frame rate is much more important in video games as going from 30fps to 60fps is a rather big difference as 30fps is playable but 60fps is basically perfect as you can see movement really smooths out.
This is a good point. I am not a huge sports fan, but I like casually catching basketball, hockey, or the Olympics. The higher FPS (guessing 60) complements sports, big time. It looks so real it's ridiculous. That might be why I dislike it in movies...seems the fiction gets sucked out of it.
That said, I remember being overwhelmed by IMAX when it first came out. And my first surround-sound experience. Maybe I'll come around, but higher than normal FPS takes me out of the experience and reminds me of something like Max Headroom. Hard to explain, but if I had to offer a comparison, it would be that some movies got a bad digital transfer to DVD (and now to Blu-Ray). The warmth is replaced by detail I didn't really want to see.
I'm around 40, eyes are starting to get weird. Maybe it's just me, but the motion being that smooth confuses my brain in a movie.
