I too would have preferred HFR for the whole film, and I'd still like to see mixed framerate in the same scene for HFR. Though I'm still not sure too many people noticed the framerate shifts. I don't doubt that people on this forum did, however my experience has been that the only time Joe Public notices even the smoothest of Soap Opera Effect is when there is a close up of a speaker's mouth, as subconsciously we all can tell that the lips don't quite match the audio. But without the audio...
Since I've only noticed 3D motion strobing in 2 films, and one of them was a film with Cameron's name on it, I am leery of him not using HFR in Avatar since he said HFR was there to stop the strobing.
