I was actually kinda floored by the 'it looks un-cinematic' criticism since it really came down to 'it doesn't look wrong enough, it is not twue cinema!'. People routinely game at sometimes hundreds of frames per second, once one gets over the subtle 'this looks wrong' feeling and realizes that one is used to a flaw that has been mitigated, it works pretty well.
It kinda reminds me of fantasy physics, the stuff one sees in most movies. The brain gets used to things looking wrong to the point that once something actually looks right it feels off.
