As far as the content of the movie itself, I've no doubt that I'll be wowed.
I am not trying to offend you, mind.

I just don't understand. The complaint is that TV technology has surpassed movies, and that's why mentally some people associate inferior frame rate as movies and higher frame rates as tv shows.

But as someone who stares at a monitor for fun, I don't see the argument. What's the point of the HD Blu Ray and the crazy prices we pay for them, if we intentionally nerf the video quality?

This is purely psychological.

Guess I get easily excited when something that seemed illegal pop up at me. Sorry for the outburst.
