ELI5- why can movies make CGI human faces and movements that look 100% real and normal but video games always look fake even with large budgets?

Video games are not a movie. They have way less budget – and way way way less budget for cutscenes compared to a whole movie.
A video game is made in engine- meaning its not a static thing but it can change and react to how you play.
If there is a cut scene in the game – it can be fully in engine like the rest of the game or some combination of CGI and engine .
The cutscene will never have the same bduget as a full movie so they never look as good, but most of the time they dont even try to look 100% real because they know gamers dont care
