Does anyone know if this cinematic was made and animated with 3d studio max? It just looks so real. If it wasn't what program can get you animation like that?

It's impossible to tell from a video which software was used to render it. From research, I believe it was done in Maya. That's not to say you couldn't achieve the same looks in say, 3D Max or Lightwave (maybe even Blender?).

It depends on the engine of the software they used to make the image, it usually takes a team of 30 to do that kind of a job. Otherwise it'd take 1 person years to complete.

Apart from the team of modelers and animators, it would also have a crew of others; scripting, storyboarding, directing, voice acting, sound effects, orchestral music...it's not like you can just work in your basement for a couple weeks and pump these movies out.
