Watched a few movies using BigScreen Revive with Index res 200%, (= solid 90 fps) and it's close to being in a theater. But one movie was mkv another mp4, although 1080p it's just not good enough. You need 4K.
But that's just me, I'm sure many persons with little knowledge about VR would be totally blown away. With 4K and virtual surround sound I think Index might be really close to IMAX at home 😉

All the 1080p (compressed) movies I tried in the Index looked horribly low-res and that's not caused by the HMD. Showing 1080p using Big Screen or other players feels much like sitting in a real theater watching a blu-ray movie - without any 4K upscaling, and it does not look very good. Much the same bad res I get when watching some 1080p content with my 4K 85" tv, but there the 4K upscaling often helps a lot. The movie image size in the Index is so big that I need to turn my head if I want to see everything - just like sitting in the center of an Imax theater - so the movie image size is much bigger than Index can display within it's native res and fov restrictions. That's why 1080p does not look very good when shown is such a large format (like zoomed in), it lacks detail - I guess that's why you don't get 1080p in your local Imax theater 😉 I think Reverb will need 4K content to shine the most too, unless we somehow can get awesome 2k to 4k upscaling working.
BigScreen is kinda horrible, I gave up using both Touch or Knuckles and just use a normal mouse for starting movies. But I like The Void and I can get a really big screen, lol.

You need 4K minimum in a real Cinema for a respectable experience because the folks sitting in the front row are close enough to the screen to resolve the pixels and SDE to an image quality destroying degree if the Cinema is still running a crappy 2K cinema projector. 4K in a real Cinema isn't ideal either but its a lot better than 2K.

Kinda bites, especially given that here in Canada the kit costs $1,477 after all is said and done.
Oh, and 28 cents too, if anyone is counting pennies 😛
