But let's not stop there. I say, as the Cinerama screen of necessity reduces the movie's size, fill in all that new black space with (for example) ... the Vinterpalatset Cinerama (Stockholm) or some other opulent cinema of your choice, viewing from the seat of your choice:
You know, it wouldn't be very difficult to make an interactive program for the PC where you can actually walk/turn around in a 3D rendered theatre with the movie being "projected" in real-time. Could even make it support stereo glasses!
Heck, while you're at it, you can turn it into a real game, where you have to perform missions around town to save up enough money to go see it, and some super-awesome concession stand minigames, to get the best snacks and still have enough time to find a good seat. Throw in an arcade for while you wait (bonus points)...maybe even turn it into one of those social media debacles that everyone loves so much!
Imagine the multiplayer possibilities, as you and your friends debate the best plan of action against the "noobs" behind you, kicking your seat and throwing popcorn...
...maybe I've gone too far @_@
