The motion looks fairly realistic, but the glows don't create realistic
flames, which should have a more stretched shape and a sharper border.  

Have you tried media with a blob pattern for density?

BTW, you can also use negative color in glows on bright background.  Could
make a quite convincing and fast smoke.
