Spielberg: Filmmakers are learning things from videogames
This is also taken from the interview that is posted below, but I wanted to pull this out. I thought it was interesting and worth discussion.
Do you feel that filmmakers can learn anything from videogames? And if so, what?
I think filmmakers are learning things from videogames. Movies are starting to look more and more like videogames, like the digital introductory teasers videogames give you before they turn control over to the player. A lot of movies, like this movie with Angelina Jolie and James McAvoy called Wanted. It had a lot of videogame savvy. The Bourne Ultimatum had a lot of videogame savvy in the quick cuts and the audacity of camera angle.
This is coming from the master himself. I have seen both of these movies that Spielberg has talked about, and I never thought about it until now, but he is right. The question to you; It this influence hearting or helping the movie industry?

i think it helps, if you look at it, any cutscene in a video game is essentially a short film, so it makes you think of diferent ways to be creative and stuff!
