Do You Feel Motion Sickness in Cinemas?

Yep! It's happened to me also. Megamind in 3D comes to mind. And like you, mk, my husband's driving makes me nauseous also, but only in city driving. Long distances aren't too bad.

When I get nauseated due to motion sickness--generally only on rough seas--there's only one thing that makes me feel better...relieving the pressure, if you get my drift.

I haven't gotten motion sickness in a theater (the things you describe give me a migraine instead, which is why I seldom go to movies). But I go get it in cars, etc., and once I got motion sickness while riding a fancy exercise bike with a video of the "road" you're riding. Had to get off.

Usually motion sickness goes away pretty fast (within 15-30 minutes after the motion ends. A migraine, on the other hand, can last for hours. Maybe you're more in the latter zone?

Ben, sip on some peppermint tea.

I've gotten nauseated a few times while watching a movie. I just close my eyes for a while. If I am a passenger in a car, I can't/won't read a map (or anything else, for that matter). I'll get sick every time.

I don't get seasick, love roller coasters, but the big dome imax theaters have scenes that make me really sick, only a lot of people react that way there, so before the movie they tell you, if you start to feel queasy, look at your feet or close your eyes. No real motion, so nothing to effect you if you can't see, then once it passes you can decide if the scene has changed enough to let you stay, or if you want to just listen, or leave.

I saw The Big Short and didn't feel sick, but did in Cloverfield, which was one of those handheld jittery camera jobs. I had to walk out halfway through and like you, felt sick for 3-4hrs afterwards. A pity since the movie had looked really good. District 9 (which I loved) was right at the cusp for me; some jittery camera shots, but thankfully not all the way through the movie.
