And the non-actiony parts of the movie often again feel awkward and, ironically, more ‘staged’ than they do in 24 frames a second. The action scenes in this Will Smith vehicle sometimes do look pretty extraordinary in all their more fluid glory, but even these ‘made for HFR’ sequences can easily tip over into artifice. The same issues recurred, albeit to a slightly lesser extent, with Lee’s sophomore high frame rate effort, Gemini Man. First there was Billy Lynn’s Long Half-Time Walk, where a combination of a) the substantial shooting limitations created by the amount of light required to film in HFR 3D often led to stilted, awkward staging, b) the way HFR left all but the very best actors looking horribly wooden, and c) the ‘too perfect’ feel to the look of everything ended up making the film genuinely difficult to watch at times. ![]() ![]() The potential downsides to high frame rate movie making were even more harshly exposed by usually excellent director Ang Lee’s two ill-fated HFR efforts. and cons of HFR movie making in all their glory. Ang Lee's Gemini Man is available on 4K Blu-ray with a 60Hz refresh rate - so you can see the pros.
