Things look "fast" because we're programmed to anticipate things looking slow in movies due to all the blur in fast moving sequences by watching 24fps movies for a lifetime.

They look fast because we're clearly seeing what's happening instead of a blurry mess.

So people think it looks like other things in their experience that have a high framerate.. soap operas and video game cutscenes.

Video game makers do the exact opposite, they introduce artificial motion blur to make the games look closer to a 24fps movie rather than a 60fps game, so our brain will associate it with that.

I'm not convinced that it's actually an "uncanny valley" situation, but maybe.
i prefer the 48fps movies (or 240hz refresh rate TV's) for this reason, i've grown up playing videogames in 60+ FPS, and always disable motion blur. i notice a big divide among my friends who are PC gamers like me and those who stick to consoles. the PC gamers prefer the higher FPS, while the console gamers don't
