Movies: A Crazy Futuristic Idea (that will probably never happen)

This thought has crossed my mind several times while watching a movie. When some key event in the movie happens and you want to jump into the story to warn a character about something, wouldn't it be cool if you actually could?

For example the protagonist is about to get poisoned and before he takes a drink you zoom in and warn him, changing the story.

Movies would have evolved so that they're all computer generated, and computing power is fast enough to render them to look lifelike on the fly. Instead of a set script, the characters in the movies have inclinations (kind of a dumb AI) that follow the idea of the movie.

Therefore you can interact with any element of the movie and it morphs and changes the story. Because everything is computer generated, you could theoretically modify any element of the show.

Movies would become an interactive experience that engages the audience (singular?). The technical requirements for this are pretty absurd and impossible in today's standards, but maybe if Moore's law holds for the next 60 years?

Choose your own adventure books movies?

Kind of, but technologically advanced enough to handle anything.

I guess the idea is kind of like video games. I suppose in the future video games and movies are the same thing.

Call me crazy, but I think it would be futuristic if they came up with their own idea for once. It would be a movie where it's not a remake of a previous one or a rehash of a similar concept.
