Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Good
Saw this in theater when it first came out. CGI was phenomenal back then, and even though it hasn’t aged the best by today’s standards, it’s still really impressive. Personally, I like the story and plot. It’s a good movie.
First of all let me say if you're looking for a fast-paced action-type movie like Final Fantasy Advent Children - this isn't your kind of movie, Advent Children is. In fact this movie isn't at all related to any of the games from what I can tell. This is a much more slowly paced movie that frankly I had to watch again to really take in fully. It's an entertaining movie because of the subtle drama elements that they put in + the fantastic CGI work. The basic story you can probably gather from the synopsis or IMDB, and in my opinion is a bit unusual to understand at first. Overall it had some great set-pieces with some great action, and explores a lot of the undertones of the quintessential character types like the headstrong general and optimistic scientist tropes. It does add some depth to these characters to show some of the motivation behind their actions rather than relegating them to cliches. I got into the movie once the pace started picking up and plot turns started to get thrown in. All in all, a solid pick up if they're on sale and you enjoy some drama and want to see some really cool CGI action.
This is movie is very underrated. It was a bomb at the box office but it is actually a very good movie. People got hung up on the final fantasy name too much.
