Movie Reviews of Final Fantasy VII - Advent Children (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Movie Review: Do you have to be a Final Fantasy fan to enjoy this movie?
Summary: 4 Stars
I saw Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within a long, long time ago. I don't remember much about it but I do remember that I enjoyed it and was particularly blown away by the beauty of the CGI. There was no need to play the game and I thought that this would be pretty much the same.
The only place I was wrong was that this movie would have made a lot more sense, and had a lot more meaning, if I had actually played the games or followed the storyline. Because I hadn't there were a lot of references that I missed and I had a tough time following who the good guys and the bad guys were. But by the middle of the movie I seemed to be following things pretty well with an occasional shock here and there.
So if you haven't played the game, take it from me, this movie is still worth picking up. The action is pretty intense, the voice characters are pretty good, and the graphics could not be done any better. The storyline seems epic in proportion but if you pay attention I think anybody can get a basic understanding of the overall storyline and plot.
It makes me want to pick up the game and storyline sometime.
Summary of Final Fantasy VII - Advent Children (Two-Disc Special Edition)
The question facing any viewer of the Japanese CG feature Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children is: do you have to know the games on which it's based in order to understand the film? And the answer is: it certainly helps. But even complete novices (i.e., most parents) in the Final Fantasy world will find some entertainment in its wealth of fantasy-based action, and the animation never fails to astonish. Picking up two years after an epic battle between the forces of good (represented by brooding soldier Cloud) and evil (Cloud's former general, Sephiroth), FFVII opens in the devastated city of Midgard, whose youthful occupants suffer from a ghastly disease known as Geostigma. A trio of brothers arrives with what appears to be a cure for the plague, but their gesture conceals a more sinister purpose: to revive Sephiroth and bring about the end of the world. Cloud and his companions must once again rise to the occasion to stop the siblings and the revived Sephiroth from unleashing total destruction. Complex and self-referential to the point of occasional incomprehension, Final Fantasy VII will definitely be most appreciated by fans of the game series, but if others can look past the numbing dialogue and frenetic action (which is a bit too intense for very young children), the film offers a carefree and action-packed viewing experience. The two-disc set contains the original Japanese language version of the film as well as an English-dubbed edition (Rachel Leigh Cook and Christy Carlson Romano, among others, provide the vocal talent) and a version edited for the Venice Film Festival. A 30-minute featurette that recaps the Final Fantasy story up to VII, as well as a making-of documentary, deleted scenes, and promotions for future Final Fantasy VII games and products round out the extras. --Paul GaitaContinuing the storyline based on the hit Playstation game Final Fantasy VII two years have passedsince the ruins of Midgar stand as a testament to the sacrifices made in order to bring peace. However the world will soon face a new menace. A mysterious illness is spreading fast. Old enemies are astir. And Cloud who walked away from the life of a hero to live in solitude must step forwardyet again . . .System Requirements:Running Time 101 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: SCI-FI/FANTASY Rating: PG-13 UPC: 043396118966 Manufacturer No: 11896
