Well, there are many factors when considering this question. Some experts agree that by the time a 35mm motion picture reaches theatres, the generation loss due to copying results in a resolution lower than 1080p.

35mm film is very organic, and you can really scan it into any digital format; 480p, 720p, 1080p, 2K and 4K. You can pull as much information out of it as you need (minus the grain). If you shoot a digital motion picture at 1080p ... you can go down, but you can never go up (well, you can, but at a loss).

35mm is probably considered to be a superior acquisition method at this point, but digital is quickly becoming the better delivery format. Also take into account that cutting edge digital motion picture cameras such as the RED are now using 35mm sized sensors and take their images in at a full 4K resolution.

So, as a professional, one would probably prefer to shoot 35mm for the flexibility it offers (although, this is quickly changing, citing the camera mentioned in the previous paragraph). As a consumer and a viewer of motion pictures, I can't see any logical reason to go beyond 1080p in terms of resolution. I've heard people have a hard time telling the difference between 1080p, 2k and 4k.
