Anyone get motion sickness from movie?

Ok, so I went to go see "District 9" today. I wasn't aware that it was going to be a "documentary" style movie. This reminded me so much of "Blair Witch" project, when I almost puked in the theater from the camera shaking violently through out the movie. But I basically had to leave because I can't handle the screen shaking and bouncing the ENTIRE movie......

So does anyone else get motion sickness from movies like these???

Just curious......

Wimp. My mom got motion sickness in Cloverfield, but was just fine in this.

But seriously, I can't say that I've ever gotten motion sickness in a movie. But I did get butterfiles in my stomach during the opening scene of the Dark Knight in Imax. It was when the goon slide down the zipline and you see how high up they are. In Imax that felt quite real.

I had the EXACT SAME FEELING!!! I had never seen any movie in Imax prior to The Dark Knight. I remember when the opening sequence started I gripped the chair a little bit tighter for fear I was going to fall. Yes, I know a little weird....but it was for the same reason you mentioned, the illusion of the heights!!! That scene was breathtaking!!!!

Nope. Don't get carsick either. Takes a lot to get me sick or puke.

No kidding! I saw how you drink @ ComicCon

You becha Kuzeh.

I do get vertigo when i'm on unsecured/no railing high places. Just don't get that feeling from a tv or movie screen.

I remember in Blair witch project people leaving the theatres cuz of motion sickness, including someone in my group. I thought it was just cuz they were scared.

Nope. I'm a specimen of faultless human fortitude.

The only movie I ever felt dizzy during was Lawnmower Man. I was drunk at the time. That may have had something to do with it.

I once threw up into the ocean parasailing in Mexico after a retarded breakfast, does that count?

Ok, maybe I should've renamed the Thread......

To "Who ACTUALLY has been diagnosed with Vertigo......"?

Check this out, a glass of milk and a piece of toast with peanut butter on it. Plus the ef'n crashing ride out to the boat on the seadoo didn't help either.
