filmlike
Sheer and translucent
Filmlike describes something resembling a film—a thin membrane or coating: a filmlike layer of dust on the furniture, the filmlike skin that forms on heated milk.
Less commonly, it can mean resembling cinema in quality or style: The game's cutscenes have a filmlike quality.
