| Comment: | I also plan to advertise this site, as it's just what I've been looking for. I feel like the general public isn't even aware this is a thing. I'm embarrassed when I have to leave a party or tell friends I have to sit in the back or leave a movie to vomit.
I wish movie review aggregators would at least list "hand-held" or "documentary-style" in a movie's general info, so I'd know what to expect. But this site is really great! |

| Comment: | I went to see 'Conviction' this morning, and had to go outside
while the trailers were on as the volume was so loud. I noticed that almost as soon as the film started, I felt sick, even though it was steadycam. I've also noticed that just the memory of feeling sick before at the cinema can start to make me nauseous. |

| Comment: | Keith, I am apalled that this site does not have more movies. We (not you) are probably at fault.
Guys, c'mon, let's promote this via facebook or whatever to all your friends whose head spin with certain movies! I am a software developer and yesterday a movie called "Tren Paraguay" (which is great BTW) almost killed me. Ended up vomiting, and going to the doctor for some medication. I was ready to do somethig like this myself just out of rage but I'm glad I found your site. Now my job is to promote it. |

| Comment: | God bless you for creating this site. As I have gotten older, my motion sickness
has become worse. It's positively awful when I get movie-sickness. I couldn't agree with you more on all you have said and applaud you for taking on all those stupid directors who think hand-held camera footage is edgy. I was trying to watch "Babel" this morning and after 25 minutes I was toast. I spent the entire rest of my Sunday with a headache and nauseea. I was ticked-off, needless to day. You rock! |

| Comment: | Alison is right, reducing the field of view helps mitigate this problem. For the same reason, sitting as far back in the theater as possible also helps since this also reduces the overall field of view of the movie. The reason this works, with respect to the explanation on the introduction page, is that more of the overall image hitting your eye is perfectly still (the room you are sitting in), only a small amount of that image is moving around (the movie). Thus, your brain can more successfully correlate your vision and your inner ear, and as stated in the introduction, it is this miscorrelation that causes the problem in the first place. Cheers! |

| Comment: | If its a jumpy-camera movie, just watch it on a tiny, tiny screen. Motion sickness for me is a field-of-view effect. Even silly IMAX movies make me hurl, since they're on a huge screen. |
