Now Vue have added their screens that means two of my local cinemas will be screening the film in 48fps HFR. I’m over the moon.
And now Cineworld have, finally, published their list of 48fps HFR locations too.
The UK is going forward with 48fps in a way that many other countries aren’t. I hope the rewards are evident.
