Your next TV could have a new mode that automatically eradicates the “soap opera effect”

While Filmmaker Mode is designed to fight the visual scourge of motion smoothing, Zink says it’s not intended to force every movie into the familiar 24 frames per second (FPS) playback we typically associate with movies. “Film’s like Gemini Man or Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk use 60 FPS and that’s a very purposeful decision. If a signal is received in a higher frame rate, it should maintain the frame rate.” So, if the moviemaker wanted that smooth look from the start, you’ll still get it, whether you agree with it as a creative decision or not. You’ll have to take that up with the filmmakers themselves.
