Jumping around a room exhausting yourself is kind of the antithesis to that.

A coworker said he watches movies and stuff more than playing games, partly because of this. He was clear that he has VR games, but the required physical movement is sometimes not what he wants, and there's the issue of lag-induced motion sickness besides.

Yep

There are people that want to interact with the movie, like those rocky horror special showings.

but the vast majority of people just want to sit back, relax, and enjoy.

Which is half the reason why VR will be a minority of gaming, and not mainstream. the other half, of course, being the insane costs.
