Cinematics are pre-rendered, the game is essentially just playing a movie clip. This isn’t very taxing for the computer. The game’s real graphics have to be rendered in real time, which is very taxing. You have to draw all the textures, calculate all the lighting, particle effects and so on 30/60 times per second.
