Are Higher Frame Rates Really a Better Moving Image in Cinema?

I really, really, really hate the way high frame rate video looks (assuming we’re talking about the same thing). I can’t begin to understand how people can enjoy watching movies that look like 1980s TV soap operas shot on videotape. I have some friends that just adore the ‘motion interpolation’ feature of their TV, which simulates the effect in movies shot at the standard 24fps. As far as I’m concerned, it doesn’t do anything to make the visuals look “real”, it just makes everything look cheap and shoddy.
