Same principle applies (or at least should) with CGI in movies. Physics? What physics? We're talking green screens and who cares... product placement.
Oh look, Spiderman CGI guy just morphed himself over the Empire State building. Yeah, that's believable. He has web shooter things, after all. I can totally suspend my disbelief while this smudgy, vaguely human looking computer image does superhuman feats via smash cuts and extreme closeups of actual humans trying to make the whole thing look seamless. Sure.
A few more years and the video game/movie thing won't even be mutually exclusive. And guess what? It will still suck.
