All the most enjoyable stuff I've done in VR has involved, at a minimum, lots of arm movement, and typically also leg movement as well. Think Beat Saber, or Half-Life: Alyx. I don't really see this working in a seated plane environment.
We're talking about watching movies, not playing rhythm games.
Is it going to be worth $3500 to have a better movie experience on an airplane? Absolutely not. Is it going to be awesome? Probably.
It depends on how often you fly. I can see a frequent flyer benefiting from this, or maybe airlines will just had them out to their biz class flyers.
VR headsets get pretty grody (I've seen how this goes at a VR cafe). I'm not sure widely shared headsets are really a business class experience.

I don't know if watching movies is a great use case for VR though? Unless it's gonna be a fully immersive 3D experience, I'd rather just watch it on a normal screen and give my eyes and head a rest.
