Interesting question... If it would be possible to do everything just like in the movies, of course it would be more adventurous to experience that in all 5 senses for real, instead of watching colorfull pixels , but on the other hand, you can only view your life through your own eyes,... of course, you interpret movies in your unique way too, but still, movies have a great capabillity of changing your point of view on certain things, that is what I really like about them.

As you explained things, I think you made a right decision with this 30 day trial experiment. Forget about displays of any kind, story is what it is all about really. Just like with good comics or playing a good game (good idea @Ronnock), reading a good book is a great thing. No action or camera moving there, just your own imagination, making up new worlds while reading (books are even better then movies in my opinion, because they really exercise your imagination, they just take longer to finish then a 2h movie).

I personally love this saying:
You will be the same person in five years as you are today except for the people you meet and the books you read. - Charles Jones
