I am happy to report, after today's patch, the pre-rendered cutscenes are back to normal on ME2, with no more elevated and odd black levels. At least, this is the case in HDR. I haven't checked the other games but I see no reason they wouldn't have been fixed as well.
@krismate I’ve just started ME3 and I can confirm that the cutscenes do not have elevated black levels. What a relief! And what a difference! Also because the cutscenes are longer than in ME1 and 2 (so far, at least) and it would have been bad to actually watch a black movie. Thanks EA and thanks krismate for opening the topic!
