that second video... way to name drop ILM and not making any sense. anyways, maxon has done a great job! it would be difficult to match with softimage, at least the rendering part. cinema has its own renderer so they can implement their renderer more easily then one would with mental ray inside softimage. one could make a plugin which talks between the two for scene data though. like the xsi server plugin and the 'send to' features built in.
