I'm sure there are many programming tricks used to achieve the look of realistic flames which work best when all is in motion. A screenshot may well capture the action between renderings of some of the flames making it look less than brilliant.
That said, I think the flames we see look pretty damn scary and realistic even in the static shots we have been shown.
