In engine has the benefit of looking the same as the game while you are actually playing it. Other benefits include seamless transitions and quick little cutscenes in the middle of gameplay are easy to pull off in engine.
Pre-rendered cutscenes, they can look a lot better. You can even use in-game assets to help match the style of the game but it can still look better by virtue of being rendered in advance on more powerful hardware.
