By reading all your messages I have the feeling that you don't really understand what the Rift is and how it works.
The Rift is composed of one screen in front of two lenses. You hook it up to a computer and thanks to Rift compatible softwares or games the picture of what you are watching is divided in two on the Rift screen, one for each eye. This allows you to have a stereoscopic vision of the content (3d) and it covers most of your field of view.
When the software or game are well made the stereoscopy and huge field of view makes you feel like being in an other place. Sensors on the Rift detects your head movements and send them to your computer so that it changes the view in software/game.
The actual dev kit has a low resolution of 720p. It might sounds like a good resolution, since it's still HD, but you have to think that the screen covers most of your field of view thanks to the lenses, so you can see the pixels.
Your blu-ray player only sends one picture, not two half pictures like the Rift requires. If you plug your Rift each eye will see only half of the picture and it won't work.
If you want to watch a movie with the Rift, you have to use a dedicated software made for it, on your computer. For example VR cinema is a software that transports you in a virtual theater in wich you can watch any video you have on your computer. It feels like being in a theater and you can even change sits.

Since you've tried the movie theater, since you see seats around you and the screen is kind of far away, how's the picture?
