The most basic movie is only a copy of what a human eye would see at a given time. The major exception, aside from cuts between scenes, is that the older movies have visible artifacts that give them away, such as colour distortion and possible lighting effects (e.g. notice that there aren't that many shadows in some movie sets.) Now, the newer movies that have computer genreates SFX tend to have beautiful eye-candy. However, they tend to make a few mistakes that kill the feeling of realism in a movie - such as the blast rings looking a little too much like pre-fab rings. Another thing that kills realsim would be computers: 9 out of 10 movies that involve computers tend to look unrealistic as well.
