I agree, 9 x out of 10 I watch a movie precisely because I want 
to shut my brain down and relax, interacting with a game may be 
entertaining at times but it is sometimes just too much work when 
you're very tired. Also we're talking about a specific genre of 
entertainment that not everyone will enjoy no matter how much 
effort is put into it or what your age may be.
