Well - there is are qualities that every movie, even SPR, is missing - and 
until the time where these come out, no Hollywood movie can be truly 
portrayed as realistic.

The first is smell-o-vision.

The second is fear/adrenaline.  Imagine watching SPR with some usher 
walking the movie theatre - occasionally just pulling out a gun and 
shooting someone.  And the usher won't stop until 15% of the audience is 
dead and another 20% is permanently crippled.
And he's approaching your row.
