I have been to a few 4DX cinemas, most of them were run down and the screens were terrifying due to discolouration. I honestly prefer VR as the future of cinema. What do you think?

Agreed... probably home VR too. Cinemas are also silly in continuing to make it so expensive. This is not gonna stop people from either pirating movies or streaming them from home. Also projectors and flat screens are just gonna become cheaper and cheaper and incentivise people to just watch from home instead.
The thing about Cinemas is that they are still barely breaking even as is. If they only sold tickets, they would always be at a loss! Hence why their concessions are at 1000% markups (Yes, popcorn isn't expensive at all).
I think that projectors are slowly phasing out from common use as most people would have TV screens that would fit the size they want at a cheaper price haha.
I think the cinema will still have to survive as should everyone only watch from home, it would become too easy to pirate movies. Switching movie releases to only straight to netflix etc might kill of a significant market share of customers to piracy.
I have actually met a guy at a documentary writing course who is planning on doing animal documentaries with VR. So, you could one day be sitting in the middle of the savannah among a pride of lions without worrying about the lions biting your loins off!
Amazing tech!
This appeals more @tadstrange
VR? Or Home Cinema?
