Final Fantasy Movie

[Landshead]

Sure it looks nice but its so damn boring. When i saw it at the cinema at least ten people walked out half way though.

I really hope Advent Children is better than this dross. Did anyone actually like the spirits within?

[frumious]

Yes. It had alien ghost things in it, and soldiers shooting them, and lots of holograms and lasers and forcefields and one woman with realistic floating bouncing wavy hair. What's not to like?

[Popo]

Hey, welcome to a few years ago?

Yea, it wasn't much cop really.

[Delargey]

Looked great. Completely failed to capture the feeling of final fantasy. Anyone know when Advent Children is out.

September over here...

Yeah, not enough random battles.

I liked it. I've seen much, much worse.

[Delargey]

I meant no cool characters, no magic, no summons, so get story lines.

[Landshead]

Yes i know it was out a few years ago, but was just looking through my dvds when i noticed it. and thought why did i buy that?

It didn't even look great. It was just...soo fucking dull, in every way.

[CarloOos]

I liked it, at least they did try something different. I respect them more for trying that and 'failing' instead cashing in on the success of the games with an unneccessary sequel...oh.

My biggest issues with the film was Steve Buscemi. I love him as an actor and everything, but his voice didn't match his character at all and it irritated me throughout the film. The character I could see and the voice I could hear were clearly completely different.

[Beertiger]

I liked it too but then I hate Final Fantasy so I guess I wan't looking out for idiots standing still when in combat and having to wait for their turn to attack.

[pretentious_helvetica]

Excellent vehicle design. Freaking cool holograms. Professor Cid!

No, not a waste of money. Saying that though, it would of been a lot more successful if Square decided to drop all the Gaia stuff and do... Advent Children.

[hub2]

I'm actually a bit nervous about Advent Children too, something about it just looks... off.

[Captain Crunch]

I liked the movie actually.

sure, it wasnt FF Cloud vs Sepiroth but as far as I can soo only the fanboys got dissapointed.

I'm guessing a lot of the American audience didn't get the spiritual Gaia theme either. Final Fantasy VII has echoes of that in it's storyline, but there's... well... more Fantasy in that than in the Spirits Within, which was a bit too realistic for its own good.

I still love the movie though, if only for the huge buffet of eye candy. *burp*

[BlindPilot]

it was ok... I wasnt a huge fan of FF before and after still wasnt.

Had some very good 3d rendering and animation to say the least...

But over all i'd give it a pootastic 3/10...

Yeah, there were certain scenes were I had problems tellig if James Woods character was real or not.

However, I got abit emotional in the end where that guy died and his sould tried to hang on to that women.

I would give in a 6/10

[Eighthours]

It needed a good script. Period.

[Hackign]

They should have really gave Nobou Uematsu the job of doing the music. He's been one of the most vital parts of the FF team and many would say he's made the FF games special.

[Judgement]

the cgi in it, was fantastic, at times i thought it was real, shame it wasn't even good, i don't know why i bought it in the first place

every time one of the enemies were killed they didn't even drop any Gil, I felt robbed

[Meh]

It was a crappy, sterile bundle of shit.

[Djx]

In four words...

Ahead. Of. Its. Time.

[Gique]

←

yes, in the future, ALL movies will be as dull as this...

[Djx]

Most of them already are...Anyway, If the film had had a different title, one that was altogether removed from gaming, It wouldn't be pissed upon from such a great height.

[Ed-E]

I really liked it.

Certainly set a precedent for CGI work.

[sandman]

Isn't this the most expensive movie ever made? I'm sure I read that it cost well over $250 million, but the cost was never made much of because it was funded from japan rather than hollywood.

I like it, apart from the ending.

It was mo-cap'd...

[pretentious_helvetica]

←

It was a mixture of mo-capping and key frame animation. Some stuff which was key framed included stuff in zero gravity like the snogging scene and General Hein's navigation of the Zeus Cannon.

I still think there's good in the movie... Cid was a brilliantly realised character, Hein's descent into almost-suicide, fucking ace holograms... I vultured on the bones of this movie for weeks after seeing it.

I've had this on my DVD shelf for ages now so i think i'll watch it this weekend. I've seen bits and pieces but never the full thing and this topic has piqued my interest in it.
