Is it true? If so this will be a visual feast!
From article...
...Ang Lee embraced 3D with "Life Of Pi," won a Best Director Oscar for his efforts, and hasn't looked back. His upcoming film, "Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk," was shot in 120fps 3D, so three dimensions clearly isn't just a passing fancy....share
Yeah, wonder if they'll bring the trailer in 120FPS, probably not lol.
War, what is it good for?
Friggin ridiculous, 120fps is completely unfilmic. It will look like a YouTube video.

In the novel, at least, the soldier's camera footage on lasts three-minutes; that makes me wonder what the other eight minutes of 120fps footage will be, or if they'll extend the soldier camera footage.
shareAlso in life of Pi, Ang liked to play around with the aspect ratio's, but only when the scene was called for. Like the flying fish scene where it went from 16:9 to 2:35.1
The fish flew over the black bars :D
I think in this movie the 120 fps footage will be insanely immersive and even though it will have that real life 'youtube' feel that someone called it, the result will make it more immediate, insane and scary!
and if will be a great contrast to the parts that are not 120 fps
Ang Lee rules
But there are only five theaters capable of presenting the film in 120 fps. Two in USA and three in Asian. For everyone wants to see the film in the perfect format, you have to drive to NYC or Los Angeles or fly to Peking, Shanghai or Taipei.
shareHow do you know this? Only the Christie 4KLH projectors can present the film in its native format, and I sure as hell haven't seen any list so far.
I sure hope more will be equipped by the time this shows, it's one hell of an investment though, but only five theaters would be a mindblowingly low number. However, most theaters are capable of showing it in 2D at 2K 120 fps which is very good news, we won't get the clarity of 4K and the same impression of being there without the 3D, but we'll still get the benefits of the HFR.
3D 60 fps could be good too. I was thinking they might be equipped somewhere in Amsterdam as they presented some of the footage over there for the IBC, who knows.
What's cool is that every version will be a different experience and even the 24 fps version will benefit from the 360 degree shutter, kind of a super 24 fps in some aspects, they can basically do whatever they want, add motion blur, remove it, slow down scenes, it's going to be insane.
Complete gimmick that will look like *beep* It won't look like film. Digital video never looks like film unless they apply some computer processing to give it that look.
Stop making movies on video. It's time for a backlash against digital photography, motion pictures, music, sfx
Got it, waste of time.
shareNo, no, no. That signature is all wrong. Pictures should be all hand drawn or painted, plays should all be enjoyed in a live theater setting, music should be played with classic instruments (strings, wind, percussion) and only performed live, and special effects are just nonsense for people who lack imagination.
