Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Matho The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Marius WM Square Enix has a problem. Their ability to tell stories is just not good. For some reason they aim to sabotage their own story lines by forcing viewers to guess, and pick up on very vague hints that are revealed for just half a second. They always aim to mix too many stories together, while none of them carry any weight.That said. This film has got to be the most impressive CGI film in the history of movies as of 2017. If you want to see a demonstration of just how far CGI has come, without any compromise, you have to see this film. Pixar and most Hollywood studios can just go to bed. Square Enix Visual Works is simply the best CGI studio in the world.Thats why its also good this basically is just an action film. Loaded with amazing battles, wars and magic from the very start. So watch this movie knowing you want to see an awesome action pop corn movie. Not much else. Its just too bad that the convoluted story telling prevents viewers from understanding the meaning of it all.

kosmasp But I would argue, also pretty on the inside. While I'm not a Final Fantasy fan or someone who has played the games, I can say that I was more than entertained watching this. As far as friends are concerned who are more into this, they said there are a few things fans might pick up, but since this is a new story, a new tale, it's not something you have to have great knowledge of.The visuals are more than stunning too and the story is told in a fashion that leaves no one behind. Sometimes that can be a "flaw" for some, watching an animated movie that just is all over the place. This is easier that way. Still a lot of action, a lot of suspense and a really good build up. And for those interested, there is a stinger after the credits which probably has something to do with the game of the same name ...

Jeff Takeda I watched this movie after beating the game and it was amazing!It filled tons of missing plot information that you don't gather from the video game.I love how it ties from the movie to the video game as well with the ending of the movie and the beginning of the video game.I think in order to appreciate the movie you need to get the story line of the game.I can see how the story line just by the movie alone would be very confusing to viewers however regardless of if you watched the movie first then played the video game, vice versa, you will be asking yourself questions without the other half.Regardless though as a witness to both sides, I absolutely loved it!

Mika_Valentine The story tells of the diminishing numbers of the Kings elite forces of Lucis finding it near impossible to maintain and defend the borders from the Empire. The King (voiced by Sean Bean) realize it's only a matter of time before the walls are breached, knowing the magic will not be able to stop the attackers, and will feel it necessary to accept an offer of peace by agreeing to give up territories to the Niflheim empire, an agreement that doesn't sit well with many of those that fought to protect Lucis. The King will regret letting the Niflheim's into Lucis, they intend only treachery and seek to steal the magic of the sacred crystal for their own use... The King will insist his daughter 'Lunafreya' (voiced by Lena Headey) who had been rescued after years of captivity should take the ring and with the help of loyal defender 'Nyx' (voiced by Aaron Paul) be taken to safety....a perilous journey.I wasn't really sure what to expect with this movie, but after seeing it I can say it exceeded all my expectations and quite frankly I was blown away. The movie is absolutely stunning and at times it looks extremely realistic, despite being all animated. The fight scenes choreography was well thought out, they were tense and really showed off both sides, unique fight style and made them look evenly powerful. and the story Ifelt was easy to follow and very interesting. After seeing this I am really considering getting the game.
