There's no "best cinema look."
What kind of a look are you trying to achieve? If you know ahead of time, you can push the colors and contrast around in the scene file settings.
Otherwise, just shoot the image flat and add your "look" in post.

Im looking for higher saturation and to take up the contrast a little , but no matter what I do I cant get good cine-like color and contrast

To increase the saturation, increase the Chroma Level. To increase contrast, decrease your Master Pedestal and use the CINE_LIKE_V gamma setting.
Have fun and don't be afraid to experiment.

Play with the with the contrast in post, then you can play around with it more. Same with saturation IMO. Play with the Color Phase and Chroma Phase for more, saturated colors. What mood are you trying to achieve? Dark? Suspense? Thriller? Horror? All these can be ahcieved with the Master PED at about -6. When you can crush it even more in post. Of course, use 24p or 24pA. And use the Cinelike gamma feature. Mind you, if you are gonig the 24pA route, shoot thin. I usualyl keep my Color Temp at around 0 to -2. You can bring your Detail Level to about -2 as well.
There's a whole lot to do with "Cinema" look. Composition, camera work, lighting, sound, props, your location, your actors, the story.
Think, if your in a basement, shooting a horror movie, and you see a laundry machine in the background, with say a stuffed kangaro on it, well that is very distracting, and non scary like. So clean up your location, and make it fit the movie.
Sound- Try and get a nice external mic. Then a boom to go with it.
Camera work- Work on this, and you will get better, watch movies, and see the shots they use.
Actors- Find good actors, and youll have a nice movie.
Lighting- This is something i need. Look in the lighting forum for more info. Different moods, have different lighting, and coloring. This is a major factor when making a film.
Props- Make them look real, and unique
Location- Make sure its well dressed before you shoot in it. If you don't like something, then change the way it looks.
Story- A bad story is probably a bad movie. It depends, because you can shot it really well, light it well, have good actors, do all of the above, but the story could suck, and visa versa.
Theres my help
