Well, Ming Thein loves to talk at length about the "cinematic look". Again right today in his article about the brand new shiny Leica Q (Type 113). Thats to him a 28mm or likewise that has a "dramatic" look. Apparently mostly because of field curvature. Usually field curvature is seen as a lens error, though. Ming Thein keeps stating that the Zeiss Distragon 2.0/28mm would have the best look in this respect.
Apparently the new Leica Q isnt too shabby at that either. As is, apparently, the X (not the X-E).
Other than that, theres the 16:9 (or even wider) aspect ratio that comes to mind when talking about "cinematic". Again a format that emphasizes drama.
Not so much the pictures that are shown later, though. Those look very much like forgettable snapshots.

Say what you want, the pictures at the start of that article are awesome.The Cinematic Look How To Make Your Photographs Look Like Films Fstoppers
That might help a bit.. You might be able to obtain the look you want via post processing using your current setup than through additional equipment.
