Because it’s “faking” a high frame rate. Movies are shot at 27(? Might be 23) frames per second, but modern TVs will fill in the frames between to make it 60 frames. It can lead to some weird looking artifacts and motion. TVs have a higher frame rate for sports broadcasts and video games. You can turn this off actually, on Samsung it’s called “clearvision” or something like that. I’m not well-versed enough on current televisions to really elaborate more. But we’re in eli5 so I guess that simple overview might serve this purpose 🤷

This also depends on the cheapness of the screen itself, if the black levels aren’t dark enough or the color is a little off/not saturated enough it can make any cinematic experience extremely subpar.
