Having worked in the industry, I've seen UltraHD with a proper setup. (with the 192 channel sound)
for documentaries and sports, yeah, its brilliant.
But for "film"? it sucks.
why?
Because it looks like a play, but with bad acting. Everything that we have learnt, subconsciously, about film, is based on 24 FPS. Any action of any narrative substance in a modern film is linked to a slowmo. This relies on 24FPS. Because things are smooth, we register it as different.
Now, I suspect where High framerate will be a thing is in VR. But thats a new medium, in the same way the talkies were.
