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.

On that note, it's interesting that "looks/feels like a video game" is used as an insult in regards to movies, while "this is (almost) like a movie" and the buzzword "cinematic" are used as positives in regards to video games.

I'm not sure this is one of your standard ironical/sarcastic posts, and my sarcasm meter just broke, or if your serious. So I'll just point out; no.
