10 Reviews: Best VR for Movies (Apr 2024)

Google Cardboard is probably the least expensive way to watch VR movies. It is controlled by a smartphone and a hardcore cardboard foldable pattern. You can watch VR movies on this device, and the only limitation is the size of your smartphone screen. Get it, crease it, and enter the world of virtual reality movie watching. The image quality of the VR headset will be determined by the resolution of your smartphone’s screen.

Bought these for my buddies children and they were mesmerized. It was fun watching them. They were in awe and I'm glad I only bought 2 of them so they can fight over them. What?!! Children need to learn to share...

Do you already have a Samsung phone? The Samsung Gear VR is the cheapest option for watching movies, apart from Google Cardboard. Simply insert your smartphone into the device to access over 600 games and a plethora of 360-videos. You can control and interact with the virtual reality worlds using the motion controller, touchpad, and trigger button. Even better, a controller is also included in the box.

Watching vr videos from the BBC has been the most impressive. Mostly I've used it for watching regular movies. Amazon video has a nice app for moving the video around so I can watch them while flat on my back. That helps with the back pain I've been having recently. [...]

PlayStation VR is unquestionably the best option for watching VR-based movies and videos on a PlayStation 4 console. The PSVR is an excellent choice for all of your Hulu clients who want to dive into the VR world. Its OLED display will provide mind-blowingly accurate to-life visuals. If you have a PlayStation 4, then this VR headset should be at the top of your shopping list.

This was renewed and this was a well put together package it had the original box plus it had two sets of earphones it was worth the money and it was exactly what I needed

Every other headset on the market was designed for gaming, but the Go was created specifically for movies, and it serves the purpose admirably. The Oculus Go sports a not-too-shabby Snapdragon 821 processor and a not-too-bad 1280 x 1440 display resolution. When it comes to content, including games, there is a massive amount of movies and videos to watch from high-quality studios.

It works so good! Every time, and the movies and apps and games are awesome with the oculus platform

The PlayStation VR has a 5.7-inch OLED display that effectively extends 1080p movies and displays them as intended with true blacks and vibrant colors The display resolution is 960 x 1080 per eye, which isn’t the best, but it will suffice for your needs. You will not be perplexed when watching VR and 3D movies, which may earn your trust. The incredibly high frame rate, which is higher than most headsets on the market, will keep any potential motion sickness at bay.

My kids love this, well so do I! We have family night and it’s really fun! Packaged perfect!

What happens when you combine Valve and Microsoft’s expertise into a single VR headset? It’s pure magic. Aside from a lot of immersion, comfort, and compatibility in one jacked-up VR headset, this device also has one of the best resolutions available for movies and YouTube. That is what the HP Reverb G2 provides. With this VR console, you can watch movies as if you were sitting in a movie theater.

Works great on my flight simulator good picture and great quality work material

One of the best features of the VIVE is the ability to use your own headphones, which is something that not many other VR systems offer. This one has 2160 by 1200 OLED screen with a 90Hz refresh rate, as well as a fast touchpad and rear trigger as controllers. With realistic graphics, true-to-life movement, HD haptic feedback, and directional audio, this headset truly immerses you in the gaming experience.

A whole new way to experience reality. This is the future of gaming, of spectating, of training, of watching movies, heck even of adult movies. Can't wait for the next gen headset.

Immerse yourself in the stunningly crisp detail of a dual-AMOLED display, which is perfectly complemented by rich and dynamic AKG 360-degree Spatial Sound. You’ll forget you’re wearing it because it’s so light and comfortable, allowing you to binge-watching as long as you want. To see the room without leaving the game, you can use the Windows button to activate the flashlight on the shortcut menu.

[...] The VR experience is very smooth. All you have to do is don the VR headset and within seconds you are in the "virtual home" where you navigate through your VR apps. I have HDHomeRun TV, Netflix, and Plex viewing rooms which is like having your own personal movie theater. [...]

The Goovis is a newer headset on the market that bills itself as a “4k Blu Ray Player.” In that sense, it is specifically aimed at providing the best VR movie experience. The internal theater screen of the headset is large and 3D compatible, so you can watch your favorite 3D movies in a whole new way. The video quality is clear and well-lit, and Goovis has clearly identified and reduced the screen door effect.

The graphics on this VR device are rich with high-definition colors and purposeful details, with a resolution of 2880 by 1660 and a PPI of 615. This VR system allows for seamless movement, and the controller detects your movements with pinpoint accuracy. This one does not have any leaks. When you wear the headset, its high-resolution sound and high-impedance headphones with noise cancellation will thoroughly immerse you.
