That was "Billy Lynne's Long Halftime Walk" shot in 120fps, 4K stereo. It introduced all sorts of unexpected challenges, like not being able to have makeup on the actors, and redesigning all of their props because the high frame rate and resolution combined with 3D presentation made details too obvious.
I saw part of it during the NAB demo; it was... different. It was a great demo of what the Christie laser projectors could do, but it also didn't feel at all like a movie. More like you were really there, like in a game.
