Now imagine a 360 degree movie. Think of all the effort that goes into making something look decent from a single angle - how could you make it work in 360 degrees? Some cool experiences sure, but a whole movie with a story? And what are you going to see if you are looking away from the direction of the actors? Certainly not their facial expressions or the action or plot. I can see why James Cameron thinks VR movies are a dumb idea and I tend to agree with him. I don't think video games are the future of movies.

This is true. Did you watch Zero Point? It's a 15 minute VR documentary about VR. The buffalo scene is outright amazing (aside from the early tech stitching issues). In the future I can see National Geographic producing some pretty spectacular HD 360 documentaries.

I'm not saying this is where the future of all film is headed, but VR presents a new way of expression and storytelling that's never been done before. Imagine the day when CGI will be rendered in lifelike quality (in real time). Actors will voice their motion captured on-screen avatars.
