VR is about to get a creative filmmaker's touch.
Ridley Scott's RSA Films production company is launching a new imprint "dedicated exclusively to the creative development and production of VR (virtual reality), AR (augmented reality) and mixed media." It's called RSA VR.
RSA VR's first project is a VR Experience for "Alien: Covenant," in partnership with Twentieth Century Fox and Technicolour.
"We have been heavily involved in VR for the past few years, and having a dedicated stand-alone division underscores our commitment to immersive media in both the brand and entertainment space," RSA Films' president Jules Daly said.

It's not reality that's important, but how you perceive things.

* not being able to make your own food (like dinner) or drinks, and only being limited to what the theater offers (at extremely high prices).
That is something I wonder. Why can't they offer some decent food options that taste decent with a nutrition value and that isn't stacked with sugar and chemical garbage.

Because that costs money and is hard to do. You have to have a kitchen, hire a competent chef and cooks, etc. A popcorn machine is mostly automatic and can easily be operated by idiot teenagers. Most theaters aren't going to get a decent return on this investment. Finally, where are people going to eat the food? There's not much space in a theater for food; there's no trays or anything, so only snacks and drinks are easy to handle without making a complete mess.
They do have "dinner theaters" that do exactly what you say. But ticket prices are higher, and the seats are much more spread out (so you can't pack as many people in the room) and there's tables. But again, the prices are significantly higher, so that keeps out a lot of people.

They could just have some bread with decent topping or sushi. No kitchen, chef or cook. Even plain supermarkets have it. And one can eat it with hands if need to be.

Spoiled sushi is a great way to get really, really sick.
I wouldn't trust the teenagers working at a theater to not serve spoiled sushi.
