Also when you say quality, what do you mean? there is so much to movies beyond image quality. Some things that spring to mind that make footage look film like includes:
large scale lighting
large sensor - DOF effect (difficult before DSLRs arrived except with film)
elaborate camera moves
complex focus pulls (combined with shallow dof)
sound track
video specific lenses (eg no focus breathing, good oof rendering etc)
quality of set, makeup, acting, direction etc
I suspect you got all those thing right, you could use a pretty rubbish camera and still have great looking footage, much like good photos from my old 300D are still good.
Considering the current crop of cameras shooting 4k (iphone included!!) really nobody can complain about not having access to a camera good enough to shoot top class footage. The rest of the setup is another matter though.
