Games are more like mini series, and compared to those they are about equal. Movies have the benefit of packing everything in a couple hours of delivery which gives them a lot more impact then games can.
Games are better at keeping your attention and are easier to follow, I find they require a lot less mental effort then watching a movie. Playing a game while tired is a lot easier then trying to watch a movie. However a movie feels much more satisfying once the credits roll, then quitting a game after a couple of hours playing.
Comparing like for like, movies come out on top.
Moon vs To the moon, movie wins
Children of men vs Half-Life 2, movie wins
Spirited away vs Ni No Kuni, movie wins
Tron Legacy vs Halo, movie wins
