Watch netflix out of VR mode (on Galaxy S6)

I bought the Samsung Gear VR  to watch movies.

But I want to disable the whole VR thing. (In other words so there is no 3D environment, just the movie, and so the movie does not move with head movements.)

Not only is this a viewing preference, but it should cut battery usage down  to around that of the regular Netflix app. Which would stop the juddering you get when the phone heats and has to  throttle the processors, making unwatchable after minutes. I want to watch a whole movie. I'm old skool like that. And If I want a 3d environment within which to watch TV, I'll take the bloody headset off since I do have a TV!! Rant over. Oh, and if I sit up, back, or turn around, I want the movie to still be visible. If I wanted it to be hidden when I look around, you guessed it, I'd take the bloody things off. 

Possible? 
Cheers
