I can't see VR being a better home video experience for most people. For one thing, watching is often a group experience with friends, spouse, kids, etc regardless of content. But even alone I don't think most people want to feel so completely disconnected from their environment just for regular casual viewing. I think most people just won't see the appeal beyond the initial novelty. It's already only a subset of people who care much at all about video quality. There could be niche for enthusiasts of course.

On a personal level I also dislike the idea of being home in the evening and myself or my spouse decide to watch something and put on some goggles and completely shut off to the outside world and the other person. Or going in the living room and seeing 3 kids with goggles locked away in different worlds. If we actually did start using VR as the main way to consume media I think it would do us a lot more harm than good. Just my opinion.
