Eric Stevenson Alright, this movie might seriously have the best CGI I have ever seen in my entire life. Then again, I guess it's still not quite as good as "The Adventures Of Tintin". Nonetheless, there were so many times while watching this film that I confused it for a live-action movie. I mean, this is just so amazingly realistic! I'm glad we have more good movies for such a beloved franchise. I've now seen every "Final Fantasy" movie! Okay, there were only three of them, but still. It's hard not being a "Final Fantasy" fan, but the thing is, most of the games themselves aren't related to each other.With every movie, there are new characters so it's very difficult to keep up. This has a 13% on RottenTomatoes?! These people are completely insane! I mean, I guess the plot and characterizations could be a little better, but this is just an amazing film to look at with its fantastic action scenes. It's not like they make the whole movie one big fight scene. They really do have nice character development. Well, I can't really remember any of their names but that's because "Final Fantasy" has such a massive mythology that it's hard to keep up. It wasn't just one long video game cut scene. It was an epic film great in its own right. ***1/2

Angel Pelayo To start with, I have to say that this is the first film of the saga I watch, my interest in it began when I played the video game. First I saw it with the thought that the game is a masterpiece, willing to know whether the film was a match for the game or not. I must admit it is ; Takeshi Nozue has done a very good job, and the film is really worth to be seen. I think it must be a difficult thing to do, create a film based in a video game. It can't be easy, but the way in which Nyx, Libertus and the rest of the characters have been developed is absolutely amazing, so good that you want them to have their own game, that way you would be able to play and enjoy it. However, there is no perfect film, and there is a part I didn't like that much. It is the battle between the General and Nyx carrying the ring of Lucii. Everything happened too fast, and there where parts of the fight in which I couldn't distinguish one character from the other.In summary my opinion of this FF15 film is very positive. I had a great time and I really think it is worth spending a couple of hours watching it specially if you are keen on the video game

tvsweeney-39052 Knowing nothing of the Final Fantasy game or the plot, I rented this DVD specifically because of the intriguing preview. I wasn't aware if each was part of a single far-reaching story or a standalone film. Though this one seemed a mere episode, with very little explanation and a negligible individual plot, I found this snippet intriguing. I also was confused of the relationship between the characters in the prologue and this was never really explained. Those who follow the story probably had no such problem. One irritating point throughout was the way scenes would fade to black with several seconds of blank space between scenes. I also thought the presence of very contemporary-looking cars, as well as hollow-point bullets in the weapons to be a little anachronistic set alongside the monsters and magic.What mainly impressed me, however, was the animation, which is...fantastic! To date, my viewing of live-action animations using computer graphics has been limited to three films, and this is the best one yet. It doesn't take much to accept that these characters are real actors and not computer graphic images. In spite of the fact they sometimes moved faster than an actual human could and performed impossible feats, they did look real. With only two exceptions, they appear lifelike. Lip movement and mouth shape was synced perfectly with the words being spoken. Where usually the features on these kind of images are bland, on these the detail, from wrinkles and expressions to individual strands of hair is near-perfect. Only the eyes gave away their artificiality. Though they moved and blinked, there was still a certain glassy, unfocused quality about them, as if the artists neglected them and instead concentrated on the faces.One character was a little disconcerting--and disturbing--the Tom Baker Dr. Who-lookalike Neflheim councilor. With his big floppy hat and long muffler, he seemed completely out of place among the flowing robes and slightly medieval garb of the other characters, making me wonder if this was a tongue-in-cheek homage.This was an entertaining film. Since it was an episode instead of a complete story, it did made me wish I'd come in at the beginning. I'm now intrigued enough to look up the others.

Alienmoon OK, I guess with every type of movie, you'll always get some that have a Love & Harish relationship, like a few here as well.Moving on, All in All, I thought the Graphics are awesome and the storyline engaging, If not for one small part, after mid-way to the end.Looking forward to Maybe these being adapted into in a Virtual Reality Environment or the new ones made to be compatible with VR.Felt somewhat a little let down, It seemed to go a little flat,... However, overall, I totally have to love the move, I can't wait to see what actually happens next,... Right ?I'm hoping for a more immersive movie next time, Maybe some ability to experience the next in a Virtual Reality Environment.That type of immersion would be simply,.....WoW!!
