My DH and I went to see the new Bourne movie last night. It was a great movie, from what I could tell anyway. I couldn't watch most of it. About 20 minutes into the movie I started to feel sick, cold sweat and dizzy. I kept having to look away, but each time I watched the moving there he goes running off again, the camera guy going after him on foot appearently. I recall felling ill on a few other movies, Armegedon being one, geesh they spin alot!
Does this happen to other? What do you do to help it? Do I really need a Dramamine to watch a movie?

I've never experienced this with a movie, but it happens when I play video games sometimes.
Not fun. Sometimes it takes upwards of an hour for the sick feeling to pass.
But someone recommended sucking on peppermint while playing games and it works like a charm!

I have the same problem! I get sick watching amusement park commercials. I haven't tried Dramamine yet I just look away or cover my eyes. Don't try to follow the action with your eyes. Keep them on one spot of the screen as the action goes by. Sometimes this helps me. It's kind of like how ice skaters are able to spin and not get dizzy.

I thought I was alone in this! I can't watch Barefoot Contessa (the cooking show) because her camera moves too much, with the shot going up her nose after a sea-sick ride. It has not happened at the movies, but I don't like action pictures.

YES!! I just watched Bourne the other night and really liked it, but I had to close my eyes and lean on my fiance's shoulder during some parts. He thought it was because we weren't high up enough in the theater, but seeing your question, I now know that it wasn't just me.
The last movie that made me really ill was Blair Witch. I ended up in the ladies' room halfway through. Hope you feel better :o)

Blair Witch affected a lot of people that way, and it has to do with the choppy cinematography used. Those who also adopted more of the choppy effect include Tony Scott, who made much use of it in "Man on Fire" with Denzel Washington. Try not to sit so close and avoid when things get very bright.

I frequently get anxiety attacks and I felt very nauseous during that Bourne movie! Now hearing you say you felt sick too, I am convinced it was the way the camera angles were and how fast and weird the fight sequences were showed.

This kind of happens to my mom. We were watching Survivorman last night and she started getting motion sickness whenever he was carrying the camera and walking. It happens to me very very mildly.. Maybe you'd feel better if you sat further away from the screen, but you might have to take medicine if it's that bad for you. Best of luck!

It tends to happen quite often in the IMAX movie theaters, in fact they give you a verbal warning about it.

This happened to my brother in law also. I'm not going to watch in for this reason. I know it will make me sick too.
I don't know what you could do to help with it.

yes it happens to me sometimes, just dont look for a minute and close your eyes for about 5 minutes and think about something else and then when you open your eyes again, ask somebody what just happened
