I can't speak to any of those videos in a technical sense but personally, I don't feel like any of them are good?

The vibe they give me is similar to the iPhone photography commercials where yes, in theory, a picnic in the park could look exactly like this except for all the parts that seem movie perfect.

I guess it's really more of a colour grading question where most of the Sora colour grading triggers that part of my brain that says "I'm watching a movie and this isn't real" without quite realising why.

A few of the Hunyuan videos in contrast seem a bit more believable even though they have some obvious glitches at times.

The other thing I think Sora has is that thing in commercials where no one else except the protagonist exists and nothing is ever inconvenient. The video of the teacher in a classroom with no students reminds me of that as well as the picnic in the park where there's wide open space with no one around.

I suppose it depends if the goal is to generate believable video and how you define believable.
