| 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. |
