Default Blu-ray doubts

Okay, so i am a film student but i am not too crash hot on all the technical aspects involved with Blu-ray.
Anyway.
So i was considering blu-ray up until recently when i went to a family members house and watched a number of different titles.

The definition is great and sound is awesome too, but i have an issue with any movement within the frame.
I am not sure quite how to describe it, but when either the camera or frame subject moves it give it the look of being too clean,
to use filmspeak, it is like it was shot at 100 fps and played back at the same rate.
When characters move it makes it look less cinematic and more like a student film.

The blu-ray works fine enough for Big action scenes and a movie like Speed racer, and i can only suppose it works for films shot on digital (2012, traffic etc) but it makes all others look... off... so to speak.

The only time when this look did not occur was when i had the opportunity to view Blade Runner, projected rather than on a television (for one of my subjects)

I have seen

Transformers 2
Speed Racer
Welcome to the Jungle
Independence day
Dirty Dancing
Blade Runner*
and Wanted

and with the exception of Blade runner as Projected this 'off' look occurred on all of them.

The set up on the tv was HDMI, proper sound set-up and was played at 1080p

Could someone please explain this away with a simple set up issue or something......
