Does anyone feel when watching movies in 4K…

When watching movies in 4K with 120+ motion, does anyone feel that the movie looks like it was filmed with an iPhone?

The quality is so sharp, and pixels are undetected to the naked eye, and the characters facial expressions move so fast, in real time, that it looks like you're watching the characters through a window in the next room, rather than on a screen.

It no longer has that "film look", so to speak, but it looks like a documentary or a news broadcast. Like you're watching "Cops" footage.

At times, the acting can seem worse than it is, because 1) the motion movies so fast, that you see every time the character looks at the camera for a slit second, or has a brain fart remembering their next line, or when an actor is trying hard not to laugh - before, actors could hide this or integrate it in with their character, but now all those minor fluffs are captured in real time, and 2) with the actors appearing so close to you, it looks like they're giving an impression of people in front of you, rather than you buying them as these characters in this universe.

This doesn't apply to older films like The Godfather, Shawshank, Apocalypse Now, which were shot in film, and they have distinct aspects that make them look like a film, such as the tint and filters, but in this newer digital movies, even the coloring is the same as the room you're in, so there's nothing indistinguishable.

It could be something to do with the color scheme, too. There's Natural, Standard, Dynamic, and Movie mode. Dynamic makes the colors look more vibrant and lifelike, the blues are highlighted. "Movie" is a dimmer Godfather brownish tint.

One one hand, the quality is great, but on the other, could too good of quality ruin the artistic merit of a film?

You get the same result whether it's a 4k movie or an old low resolution rerun of Everyone Loves Raymond. It reminds me of old footage captured straight to video, such as from a Sony Handycam. I just change the settings on any 4k tv I buy right away and get rid of that annoying, fake looking shit immediately.

Just turn off that smooth motion garbage altogether and set the compression level to off or low, it's really just designed for playing videogames.

I feel like there's a difference between older movies that have were originally shot with 35mm film converted to 4K and current movies that are shot that way proper 4K DI. An old One Day at a Time rerun show may have the faster motion…but it won't have Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker UHD resolution. It's the combination of both the motion and how these current films capture color and light differently. It looks way too real. i have my sensor set to "automatic" - which lets the tv decide the best way to project the motion without giving it a blurry look.

I was watching an old horror DVD I found (Long Hair Of Death) and the scratches on the disc finally killed the film 10 minutes before the end. I found it on YouTube but it had been digitally processed so much that the original black and white atmospheric quality turned into cheap TV video late night rerun quality.

Good film though if you like 1960s Italian horror.
