Please try watching the opening sequence of Aliens with motion smoothing enabled sometime.

Without motion smoothing, the model shots still look reasonably convincing 40 years later.

With motion smoothing, it looks like a low-budget B-movie.

I don't mind if a film is shot at a higher frame rate and then displayed that way, but interpolating additional frames looks terrible, and I don't know why any manufacturer turns it on by default anymore.
