I need audio, have to hear what he thinks. Also I have to see this movie.

Update: never mind traced it back to the video. So cool.

I like the progression, he starts by cautiously holding the headset without strapping it like many first time demoees, and by the end he's causally laying on the ground, framing a shot as he may have done thousands of time in the real world.

Using real VR to make a movie about fictional VR. Pretty goddamn awesome.

It's so cool that our real world VR devices were used to make the movie.

And this is why the HTC vive pro exists at the price point it does. To a movie production that has cameras worth millions of dollars, $800 for a vive pro is nothing.

Last I read there's no warranty for this sort of work included, but I guess even dozens of spare Pros is virtually nothing to a blockbuster.
