"Blue ray dvd"?!? ... sarcasm, right?

Anyway, don't get Motionplus/Motionflow technologies confused with 120hz refresh rates. Motionplus/Motionflow has a big sticky around here somewhere, but since things got moved around I'm not sure where it is.

What it does is interpolate frames and attempt to smooth out the action. Some folks like it, some don't. I can tell you that at faster motion scenes, it causes artifacts/macroblocking to show up. What you're seeing is that feature cranked up.

If you like it, cool. Your choice. However, realize that's not the natural way these films were meant to be portrayed and that some purists/enthusiasts really don't like the feature. However, 120hz refresh rate can be a very good thing to reduce blurring and to resolve 24 fps sources, like many films.
