Is the current standard of 24fps ideal for non video games? Will everything be 60fps eventually? I always found 60 fps a bit unnatural looking when showing real life, as if it's on a different speed. Recording 60fps videos on my phone does that as well.
Will TV and movies become 60 frames per second eventually?

I'd highly doubt they'll change from the current conventions.

Doubt it and hope not. Off the top of my head, Billy Lynn's Halftime Show was shot at 120fps and released at 60fps on home video.
That said I remember when the UFC put 60fps videos on their YouTube channel a few times, that looked really good. I could see it being used for sports.

60 fps would be a horrible idea for the movie industry. It could work for some genres, but for most it would break immersion and suspension of disbelief so badly. They're just not the same concepts.

hope not. Although sports might look okay with 60fps.

Wasn't the Hobbit Trilogy shot at 120 fps?

for the idiot videophile why is it not viable for movies but is almost a standard in videogames already?

It’s really only good for sports. It’s jarring for movies. Hobbit at 48 FPS was all kinds of fucked up.

Like previously posted before, it's only beneficial for sports and porn.
Movies have been shot at 24 fps for a reason, for its cinematic effect.
You wouldn't want to see an action movie at 60fps, it would completely ruin it.

Hopefully not
The lower framerate movies operate at is what gives them a "cinematic" look compared to video games and home video
It's hard to put into words, but its almost like it "posterizes" the image when each frame spends a few more milliseconds on screen, it gives the overall image "weight"

I hope so. It would only look off until people got used to it. There's nothing special about movies running at 24 fps; we're just used to seeing them that way so they look awkward at any other speed.
My guess is it's similar to the same commitment a lot of directors have towards actual film versus digital recordings. Some film junkies get excited over things being shot in/for black and white. So I can see why 24 fps might matter to them, but I certainly don't need things to run at 24 fps.
It looks like most the thread disagrees though. *Shrugs*

True. Movies don't need to be 24p. Movies are 24p because that is what we're used to. That is the only reason movies are still shot in 24p. The tech has been there to do higher frame rates for decades. 24p doesn't look more cinematic for any reason other than it being what movies are shot at. If movies were shot at 60p, 60p would look cinematic.
The problem is, for the change to work the big companies would have to push out big name content constantly, risking billions, in order to change something that doesn't particularly need changing.
