Are movies trying too hard to be like video games?

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.

True, The last star fighter (1984) looks like an early video game nowadays.

CGI has made it a lot easier to do over the top action sequences and they take it too far into video game mechanics imo.

I notice more and more of those physics defying moves by lead characters. The cgi quality is getting better, the believability of the physics is lagging behind.
