High frame rate is a film technique that more and more filmmakers have been experimenting with in recent years, including Peter Jackson. The Hobbit trilogy and with Ang Lee Gemini man, and Billy Lynn’s Long Walk. Movies are typically shot and projected at 24 frames per second, which is the rate that best mimics the way the human eye receives information, with higher frame rates using more frames per second, up to 48 inches.

While this new format is exciting for filmmakers who want to take their craft to new levels, it has been divisive among audiences. Some viewers experience headaches, dizziness or disorientation when viewing the format.

Avatar: The Waterway received less criticism overall for its selective frame rate. While this doesn’t mean it’s ushering in a new era of high frame rates, Cameron’s approach of only applying the technique to certain sequences could indicate that it could become the industry standard for certain films in the future.
