Use the command program.control(); this should stop the user from moving the ego.

You'll probably also need some kind of counter variable, so everything doesn't happen at once.

for example:

v90 = 0;

You may also want to call prevent.input() so that the player can't type in any commands while the scene is running. Just don't forget to call accept.input() and player.control() when the scene is done.

You might also want to use the command

reset(menu_enabled);

unless you want them to use the menu during the movie.
