Yeah, the Blumhouse Enchanced Cinema app is probably the closest approximation. But while The Matrix is 10/10 execution of the idea, then the enhanced cinema portions of The Black Phone is more like 2/10 and M3GAN is like 6.5/10. Cosm’s full 180°+ FOV and sound system also makes a huge difference.

I believe that this is probably the Fox News report in early September that Trump likely saw, and then mentioned Portland the next day. x.com/tiffanie_tx/...

Here is a link to one of the stories on Fox that week, but not the news segment clipped in the X post above.
