Its change in the wrong direction like the 3D gimick in movies. Thankfully everyone hates 48fps.

It's no different than the switch from SD to HD.

Its completely diferent, this is not video games we are talking about but films the switch from SD to HD was an upgrade in picture quality and yes some props had to be adapted and such but 24fps is an artistic choice for making movies, 24fps is what gives movies its dreamy illusion feeling.

48fps on the other hand is a gimmick like 3D movies, now 3D is "fine" here and there on some movies made from the ground up to take advantage of it but again is just a gimmick not all movies have to be filmed on 3D, comedies or dramas will not be enhanced by the third dimension for example.

48fps will be used here and there but the majority of movies will be staying at 24fps.
