I think this depends upon the system you use and what you're viewing. I was underwhelmed by a couple of VR headsets (Samsung Gear plus something I forget) but changed my mind after using a Rift, as that was so much better. The media/game matters too. Anything trying to look real does indeed still look cartoonish, but it's a different story for games where looking like the real world isn't the goal. Then you can enjoy the immersion without comparing to reality.
