Avatar got it right, where you should be actually able to feel you ARE there, rather than feel you are watching a recording of something.

Indeed, I remember the first time I saw Avatar in IMAX (my first viewing was 2-D, I wasnt sure if I would like the movie or not [remember, I did absolutely no research on the movie, never saw a commercial... oh dear god here come those emotions... I'm crying right now... didnt seen that coming, need to give myself a second, sorry, I really did just have a breakdown right now])
Anyways I remember the first time Jake in his Avatar form got off the chopper onto the Pandora jungle, and when the bugs were flying around, its like I could feel the bugs around me, and no flare and whatever... done perfectly
