I agree, this system isn't going to be good for watching movies. IMO 3D displays like this would lack the quality of providing the immersive experience that 2d display technologys already provide.
For example, when Im watching a movie, Im not conscious of looking at shifting patterns of 2D colored shapes, Im immersed in a world of characters and places. Theres a lot to be said for that and it shouldn't be taken for granted.
Now when theres a 3d display that can project full environments around the viewer - that'll be something else!
Right now, impressive and interesting as it is, this systems practical uses look pretty limited to me. Sure it'd make a great addition to a stand at an exhibition but beyond that I'm not so sure.
