My Review

Basically the movie shows us what happens after the Final Fantasy 7 story. In the movie three men with white hair are trying to find their "mother". I cant go any further explaining the story because it will basically ruin it. Ill break my review into sections for convenience(sp). it will be rated out of a 5 star(*) scale and 5 being the best.

Sound/Music:

Its parts of the Final Fantasy franchise of course the music will be good haha the sound effects are awesome the explosions and fighting sounds are right on and none, that i noticed where out of place or weird. Theres even some parts in the movie that a final fantasy game fan will notice to be funny.

My Rating: *****

Story:

The story was crazy haha loved it. You won't have to play the game to pick up in the movie whats going on. But for those who did play the game it will make the experience more enjoyable because you will be able to look back and say "o yeah" or you will understand some of the confusing parts in the movie because you knew the past story. The story was set at a good rate of speed and carried the momentum the whole way. Though the movie was short :[

My Rating: ****

Graphics:

WOW. Everything was well drawn and the characters movements were smooth.Esp. the hair movements on the characters. The coloring was great and sometimes even the backrounds look real haha. The fighting scenes were fluid and the special effects like sparks etc made the movie alot more colorful. Even though sometimes the sounds and the movement sounded a little off it wasn't really noticable. Overall the graphics were great.

My Rating: ****

Voice Acting:

The voice acting was one of the best points in the movie. The attitude and personality of the voices matched the character they played. Since i can't understand japanese i can't really comment on their acents or anything but the words did have the right emotion in them for that scene or line.

My Rating: *****

End Comments

Overall i loved it haha this makes a great movie to watch in a group with your significant other or by yourself. The movie wasn't the perfect movie but then agian no movie can be perfect. But this movie was close for my standards :D. Either way you will enjoy this movie!

Overall Rating: ****1/2

Kim, the movie has been postponed till November. However, there are already many leaks on the internet.

Anyway, great job Nick on the review!

No doubt but, at least the American version is gonna have both the English and Japanese voice overs.

And are you one of those people who will most likely not like the American voice overs cause you heard and loved the Japanese ones already?

Nah.

I'm actually looking forward to the American voice overs. I'll get to see the, like, five seconds of film I missed from reading subs. XD

Plus, Cloud sounded HOT in Kingdom Hearts. <333
