It's not an issue of looking "too crisp." It's an issue of looking tacky. 35mm film at 24 fps has a potential resolution in the 4k to 8k range (no one knows for sure because it doesn't have an actual resolution). The level of detail and crispness available is not just "fine," it's stellar.

The crispness comment was directed towards fluidity in motion. Resolution isn't really fit for a topic on frame rate.

We are looking at the word crisp from two different perspectives I guess. When I think of the word crisp in regards to a Blu-ray transfer, for instance, resolution and detail both play a part in my assessment of the transfer's crispness.

You mean like that movie, Strange Days? Yeah, until some guy goes around raping everyone uploading it under the name "Happy Rainbows" or something.

No I don't mean like "Strange Days". More like pulses that produce and stimulate sensations like vision, sounds, smells, tastes, and feelings.

POV engulfed 3D projection, where the film occurs around you, rather than you looking at something. Essentially you, the individual, being placed within the film, or at least the deception of feeling like it.

This was kinda' what I thought Avatar was going to be like a couple of years back when everyone was saying it would be a game changer and change movies. It did change movie (more movies being made with stereoscopic fusions cameras). but a little underwhelmed. Still loved every second of Avatar though.

I think it ceases to be film altogether, if ever a 360 implementation is invented. Sure it takes immersion to whole new levels, but the very fundamentals of cinema relies on direction. If the viewer is free to look wherever they wanted, a story can't possibly be told according to the creator's vision. In fact I'd go as far as to say it's a detriment, as the entire artistry behind camera work is eliminated.

then it'll become like a game. that's where I think games will be like 100 years from now. I don't know if we'll see anything like that in our life time. Scratch that, we might but it'll be crude.

I'm sorry, but Avatar was not 100% photo realistic. Also 3D still has some bugs, like when things move too fast they become blurry. I think the next thing they should work on should be something like the iWear mixed with face-tracking in a large amphitheater to replace cinemas. Then the whole "3D" experience actually allows you to gain different perspectives. Not to mention you can continue watching on your way to the washroom or the concession stand (comes with included headphones) (and for people dumb enough to say "but you can't see where you're walking!!!" you can... you just turn down the screen opacity.
