They're not really cinematic in the sense that they provide believable sets of characters that inhabit their worlds, but rather that the worlds themselves have such a grand scope and contain such marvelous setpieces for you to play with that it feels like you've been given the tools to craft you're own adventurous epic. So I guess they're not cinematic in the sense that they're telling a linear narrative like the kind you'd see in a film, but rather that they have the worldbuilding ambition that's characteristic of films.
