yeah, that makes total sense. You have to relax your eyes, or the movie makers need to lay off the depth of field.

Especially in Avatar.... elements around the edges of the screen are purposely out of the depth of field, along with foreground/background objects, and if you tried to look at them, it could hurt because you're trying to focus on something that is out of focus.

So you take people who want to look around the screen rather than just what the director wanted you to see, and yes, they're going to feel the strain of trying to focus on those intangible visuals.
