Movies are in trouble. Not because of illegal downloads or even digitally created actors.

No, Hollywood's problem is the increasing immersive awesomeness of video games, as exampled by the new game play demo of Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End on Sony's PlayStation 4.

Most of us have never seen a video game that is so simultaneously beautiful and enveloping without sacrificing real-time game play action. The sweeping perspectives and cinematic camera angles immediately put this game, which will be available in 2015, on par with the quality and suspense of some traditional action films. There's extreme rock climbing, stealth neutralizing of bad guys and plenty of action movie-style cursing mixed in with the dialogue.
