- colordrops 8y agoYou can with a VR headset though.
- cwyers 8y agoMost movie theaters don't give me headaches and make me feel like I'm getting carsick.
- Lewton 8y agoCarsick?? Why would 1 to 1 movement make you carsick? Are you talking about gearvr? Or other “not really vr” headsets?
- crooked-v 8y agoNone of them are hi-res enough to really do that job.
- no1youknowz 8y agoI think the StarVR will get there one day. Here's a review of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvFBUvfpQJ8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvFBUvfpQJ8 The only problem is right now they are targeting business, but I hope to see a consumer version one day and if they can get it lighter, comfortable for 3 hours of continuous wearing and can replace a theatre screen. I don't see why it can't replace a TV or movie experience.
- WillPostForFood 8y agoI would have agreed when I was a kid and a huge TV was a 27" 480i CRT. But now you can get a 85" 4k HDR screen at home, I'd say you can come close. Better than many theaters.
- wingerlang 8y agoIt's not only the A/V that goes into the experience. Not saying it is a perfect experience, but a large TV or even a projector isn't really the same.
- DJHenk 8y agoIndeed. It is the same as saying that one should never go out for a walk, because you can easily walk some rounds around the table in the comfort of your own house. It's the 'out' part that is important!
- WillPostForFood 8y agoExcept a theater isn't out, you are just trading one dark room for another.

- WillPostForFood 8y agoYou committed the fallacy of posting a fallacy without support. In a theater, you sit in the dark, if you are a good citizen, you don't talk. 90% of any social piece to going to a movies happens at dinner before or after, which you can still do and then go home to watch a movie.
- wingerlang 8y agoThe theater itself is not the experience. The 'out' thing is, though.
- WillPostForFood 8y agoYou can still have the "out", like Dinner and coffee at a restaurant. But the specific watching a movie part is "in" whether it is at a theater or your living room.
- behringer 8y agoMy 9 foot projection screen with dolby surround sound in my light controlled living room would say otherwise.
