Almost undoubtedly because you are used to the 24fps framerate for 
films. I bet if you watched at 48fps for a few years then went back to 
24fps it would look horrible. This is an interesting effect though, I 
wonder if you watched something at 100 or 200 fps how that would seem?

There are several possible explanations for that effect, apart from the 
framerate difference. You'd need to do a proper experiment to confirm that.
