I love the cinematics. And they do a very good job at making characters come to life. So in my opinion cinematics do increase immersion. They may even increase the gap between being sucked into the game and being torn out of it by things that make no sense in the game world.

For instance, I just stumbled upon another immersion breaker: One of my party had fallen into a dungeon with a locked door. The other three were far away and encountered a merchant. The character that was locked up was still able to trade with the merchant.

About the day/night cycle: I don't find the eternal day a problem, although I would love to see sunset, night and sunrise. But the lack of progress of time is rather unsettling. The whole world seems to frozen and only springs to life when you appear on the scene. And when you leave, it resumes being frozen. That effect *is* something that breaks immersion for me.
