Is this a gimmick? Will it make movies and porn look better?

no, they'll probably look worse because accurate color mapping will generally be less saturated and lower contrast than defaults. these pucks are for artists.

I can't say with any certainty myself for the ColorMunki Smile06.

I will say this though, for the love of all that is holy, do not buy anything that cannot be used with ArgyllCMS.

I used this video with a Spyder3 Pro like the user in the video.

It's not so much that it will make movies and porn look better, it's supposed to help you compensate for inaccurate colors and turn a monitor connected to your PC (which is running the .icc profile it creates) display accurate colors.

I don't regret my purchase of my Spyder3 Pro, personally, although I know many people don't give a fuck about spending $100 just to make their monitor "look right".

Also, if you'd rather hope that your monitor's variance isn't high, it's also possible that people have used professional color calibration tools to calibrate your model of monitor before.

If you find your monitor there, try using the ICC profile + OSD settings they have to see if your monitor looks any better. If it's good enough, don't buy a color calibrator. If your monitor isn't there (because you got a cheapo or non-name-brand panel), or you think you can do a better job with calibration, then it might be worth getting one, particularly if you have lots of displays.
