I think many of us don't see those big CGI laden shlockfests. You won't find many here who went to see Trans4mers. You are again misinterpreting our issue with CGI. It's not that we hate it, or think that it should never be used, it's just that we are annoyed by its overabundance in mainstream films today.

As for 48fps, I think James Cameron was considering it for the Avatar sequel trilogy, not sure if he's going with it. I think it's an interesting idea and I hope to see the final Hobbit film in the format, as I've missed it with the other two. But I doubt it'll catch on, and that's because there's no reason for it to. The human eye can't process more than 200fps or something like, so any frame rate lower than that is to a degree unrealistic and arbitrary. 24fps has a reason for being because it has become the standard and everyone is so use to it, but 48fps is just random and kind of pointless. If a filmmaker really wants to experiment with "high frame rate," they'd shoot at 200fps (but of course that's rather impractical currently).
