I think people are interested in this games cinematic as it's going to be made into a movie. Some people who take pride in the games story want to introduce people who are either not skilled enough to complete it, or not interested in games in general, to the fairly decent character story and progression it offers.
Myself personally. Think the movie will suck. Will be 12 rated contain no onscreen violence, even the mainstream audience are bored of zombie movies, you can't even satire them anymore. It's bad timing.
I enjoyed The Last of Us as a game. I enjoyed overcoming the challenges and beating it. As a story, the only thing it offers that I have not seen before is how Ellie, the young girl, develops more into Coles old self despite him trying to shield her away from the bad guy he once was. No doubt the movie will miss that point also.
