I can see how this would be a very useful thing in an extreme situation like Deslok's.
But what I don't understand is why anyone in day-to-day life in the US would want to spend even more time staring at a screen. If you're in the pencil-pushing middle class, you already spend half your waking hours staring at a screen. Then you go home and the tube is a screen, your internet entertainment is on a screen, now even your cellphone has a screen and you do light computing. My car has a screen for the mileage and climate control and all that. We probably spend more time staring at screens that we do at other people's faces. It's inhuman.
A movie is not about what it's about; it's about how it's about it.
