cinematic

Adj: Console gamers' way of describing a video game as being an experience similar to a movie, when in reality it's their explanation for having to put up with games running at low frame-rates.

"I prefer 720p/30fps over 1080p/60fps. 30 frames per second would be closer to 24 frames per second in movies, that makes it much more cinematic, so the storytelling in the game will be superior."

Cinematic Crouch

That annoying stereotyped crouching pose that action movie characters take after landing on their feet from a height. Said character holds the pose long enough for the camera to show how cool they are.

Its been seen in too many movies to mention.

Guy 1: "Wow, dude! She just somersaulted off the building, beheaded the dragon, and finished with a cinematic crouch!"

Guy2: "Cool!"
