It is possible to create interactive movie playback using the blender game engine. The complexity required will vary greatly depending upon the needs of your project. To provide some ideas, I dug up a couple of tutorials that look at interactive movies and game cut scenes. An understanding of the game engine will be required however. [LINK] [this video]

What you'd basically do is create a scene with a plane and a camera pointed at the plane, and make the plane use your cutscene or video file as its texture. Then, using a Delay logic brick or something similar, you'd switch from that scene to another scene, which contains the game stage or level. If you want a live animation to play, just animate the camera and the objects in the first scene, and use a Delay sensor again. This video does a good job of explaining a method of implementing the same method: [this video] It's a video by SuperGloop.

Around the 7:45 mark, he says we should be able to press 'P' (to enter game mode) in order to play the video, and well, its not working. I don't know how the few differences between what the tutorial guy did and I did could cause this, and I clearly have not learned the skills if I can't find out at this point, so I'd appreciate any help! The blend file can be found at pasteall. [LINK] Do note that I refer to the folder "resources" available in the zip file in the youtube description.
