Some games can be too cinematic.
On the other hand, a lot of modern movie action sequences look like they belong in games.

Many movies nowadays give me the feeling I'm watching a video game in the making, for example The hobbit.
The whole barrel sequence breaks my suspension of disbelief and I feel like I'm watchign someone play through a qte event.
Same with Legolas' bridge run, press x to jump to the next falling stone, nm all the boss fights and dynasty warriors like action.

I had the same thing with guardians of the galaxy. Great movie, but often felt like a video game to me.

What movies make you feel like you're watching a play-through at times?

I really don't get what you mean here. QTEs are a product of games trying to get a cinematic feel, so I think you've got it mixed around. Movies are inherently non-interactive, so I don't think a movie can be like a game in any real sense.

It reminded me a lot of ratchet and clank in the beginning with the silly weapons.

Yes :P

Seems reversed to me. VG's trying to be like movies. As someone said above me, QTE's are games trying to be like movies.

I mean the action sequences feel like they belong in a video game. Pushing physics and chance timing too far.
Maybe too cartoony is a better description.
It's stuff you normally accept in a game yet breaks immersion in a movie.

That is a much better way to put it, and with that I would certainly agree with the Legolas part. Everything about his implementation in The Hobbit was garbage @.@

What you refer to is the concept of Jumping the Shark. Which predates video games, I assure you :P

No, not really.

This is probably meant to be a joke or something, but for years my parents have been complaining that poorly-implemented CGI, especially during action sequences, "looks like a video game."

Like, since long before games had any business being compared to film-quality CGI.
