    Well maybe dangerous is far-fetched, but as you've seen too (and which i mentioned as well) it mostly works in stuff that wasn't physical in the first place (i.e. games) or material that's usually shot in high frame rates, such as documentaries which gives them that "real" non-cinematic visual feeling we are all familiar with. Cinema is still 35mm film, 24p which has nothing to do with such techniques, aesthetically.

    Which is precisely why I turn it off for everything other than games and animated films. wink

    I can see why it's a great usage for games, esp. where frame rates drop down dangerously and creating that optical lagging feeling, but why leave it on for animated features? It's like if the director wanted you to watch more than 50-100 frames per second, he'd obviously do it himself in the first place wink Do you also listen to all your stereo sources (mp3s, cds) on matrix surround all the time too?

    Because it looks good. (Which is of course subjective, but *I* think it looks good and that's all that matters.)

    Who cares what the director wants. If I like it and I think it improves the film, why wouldn't I have it turned on!? confused dizzy

    Sound is different to images: turning on motion flow actually makes a noticeable difference (and, in certain circumstances, improvements). Although increasing the bit rate of compressed audio is technically the same in certain respects to motion flow, in reality the difference would not be noticeable, so the comparison is a bit moot.

    So there. tongue

    Okay, poor choice of words on my part. Yes I care what the director wants, but Demetris' point is not the same as yours. Putting on motion flow is not so much a directorial decision, it's simply a way to improve the film. In THAT sense I wouldn't care what the director wants (though I'm sure Pete Docter wouldn't exactly mind). Just like buying a big expensive TV with amazing clarity and vivid colours improves the way you watch movies. It's not the same as being able to control whether Casablanca is in colour with a happy ending. It just isn't.

    Though if I preferred Casablanca in colour with a happy ending, who's to say I shouldn't watch it like that? (I've never seen it by the way.)

    Different discussion: is art a personal choice?
    Can we paint a moustache on a poster of the Mona Lisa and call it art?
    Are we all part of the mash generation, where an artist's unique vision is relegated to being a canvas to create our own preferences?

    It's a good discussion, but -as you rightly say- a different one.
    Oh, and if you'd prefer Casablanca in colour and with a happy end I would happily lead the campaign to have the UK annexed as a US province and towed away to somewhere under Newfoundland.

    I have a similar reaction when people profess to liking the 20th anniversary editions of the original Star Wars trilogy over the original versions.

    Some opinions are just wrong.

    The good things are the improved sound and audio, but the extra scenes and the CGI additions -especially the CGI additions- is like drawing a moustache over the Mona Lisa (to use Martijn's example). Lucas shat all over those films with the CGI... and then persisted in shitting over it by changing the original Anakin with the new Anakin at the end of Return of the Jedi.

    I'd like the original theatrical films on Blu-Ray with the new improved audio and visuals. (Though I don't see why they'd settle for anything less.)

    It's not what i asked. I talked about matrix techniques that artificially turn 2 channel stereo into 5.1, real time.

    If you can convince me that I shouldn't use motion flow with games or animated films, then I'll happily admit I'm wrong.

    I didn't say you shouldn't use it. It's a matter of aesthetic choice. The same can be said about those who listen 2channel music through their dvd home theaters on real time surround matrix. There's nothing more to discuss here i think.
