On a slightly different note, how the heck did they make a young Will Smith that looks so realistic?

So I wanted to test to see if Billy Lynn switches to 60 fps if you force 60Hz on the AppleTV 4K, and the answer is not really. Yes, it’ll display 60Hz, but it’s just like any other iTunes 24 fps film in 60 Hz mode using 3:2 pulldown. It’s not the 60 fps version available on the 4K UHD Blu-ray.

It would be cool if the file would switch or something, but nope, iTunes only has a 24 fps version just like everyone else.

That's what I thought, it's just playing an actual 24p version rather than doing some on the fly conversion from 60 to 24.

I'm curious how you test/confirm this?

Turn off Match content/Dynamic Range, leave the default as 4K/60Hz, then play the movie. It’s really easy to tell the difference between 24 fps film made to fit in a 60Hz video and a native HFR playback. It’s pretty obvious.

It's Jaden Smith wearing a Will Smith suit made by Tom Savini.

Just finished watching the movie. If it wasn't for PQ and HFR the movie would be quite mediocre. More on the lever of a tv show. A lot of plot holes to even count. Ang Lee usually strikes me as a deep director who likes to tackle deeply involved socio-political elements.

Here is what I didn't get about this movie:
[Show spoiler] If the villain already had a clone who felt no pain or remorse at his disposal, why wouldn't he use him to kill Will Smith rather than using Junior?

he wanted junior to surpass the original(mentally) by killing him as a rite of passage

On my JVC DLA-X500 (DLA-RS49U) + HDFury Integral, the Billy Lynn 4k forced the projector into a weird mode where it bypassed all the picture calibrations Im really hoping this 4k behaves diffrently.

is there a noticeable difference in 120 fps vs 60 fps in terms of Gemini Man?

hopefully Gemini Man is the death knell for HFR...audiences have spoken and they don't like it
