All I can say is, the people who claim that have evidently never been to the cinema.
You’ve probably seen the clips on YouTube claiming to be [name of famous film] in 1950s Technicolor, or similar. If you watch them for two minutes you will
be impressed that what they’ve made is possible
think it is nonetheless cheesy
and
despair as to why they can’t keep the characters similar from one shot to the next.

At the moment, you can’t.
I’ve tried out several of the tools that claim to produce ‘cinema-grade’ video.

Things are improving fast, but I would suggest we are at least five years away from AI being able to produce a full-length cinematic release at cinema quality. In a year, you may see the first AI-rendered 3-minute short that’s actually good enough for a theatrical release, but it will still be coming from people who already know how to make films.
You can use AI in developing your cinema-grade video, provided you have the skills and equipment and budget to do the other bits. To give you a picture of what this means, a Hollywood film costs about $1 million per minute of final footage.
