True, they are definitely very different mediums. However, no one says a video game to movie adaptation has to duplicate exactly the experience of playing the game. Many games have incredibly deep mythology, stories, and characters all of which lends itself great towards movies. I think video game "worlds" could be a great source for movies but maybe not necessarily any direct adaptation of a specific game to film. For example, I think a movie based on the overall storyline of assassin's creed would be good, but I don't think it would be successful to just copy one of the games and create scenes that are shot for shot from the game.
