While not a fan of The Hobbit's use of HFR (I thought it worked well in mostly CGI action scenes and not at all everywhere else), I too am waiting for someone to use it in the right context. I don't think Barry Lyndon would work, period pieces for the most part I believe work better at 24. But The Matrix very well might. With The Matrix it might work best if it was a mix of HFR and 24. HFR when they are in the matrix and 24 when they are out (of course that brings another set of problems in projecting mixed frame rates in the same movie). HFR I believe would work really well in sci-fi that is meant to look and feel a bit sterile (think THX1138, The Island, etc.). Or in heavily CGI scenes. The big problem with The Hobbit, since it is the first, there is still a bit of working out the kinks and bugs (lighting to me was a big issue in the first HFR film). Give it time and it might prove an indispensable creative tool.
