Right now, I prefer movies on GearVR to a home-theater system with full HD on a fairly close and large TV. For 2D content, the resolution isn't great (a little over 720p effective), and there is a very apparent "screen door" effect.
In terms of 3D, I watch people's minds get blown by simple apps, when much better stuff is in development. When my Mom asks, did I bring that funny headset so that she can see Paris again? this is something different.
This will be really great with 4K displays and improved content.
