Fainaru fantajî sebun adobento chirudoren (2005)
A beautiful but flawed film
8.7 out of 10
Ahh, yet another feat accomplished by Square. Final Fantasy VII :Advent Children has finally been released in Japan. As beautifully designed as it is, the film is flawed in someways. The head spinning graphics and action scenes are just as great as it was in the trailers. Yet the story had several plot-holes. Even though I am a die-hard FFVII fan, i must say even the thrill of seeing my favourite characters in their full glory does not make up for the slow/fast paced plot line. And as many have said before, this is not a movie for the Final Fantasy newbies. The addition of a prologue would have definitely added a whole new audience. Also (dont want to spoil it) some important parts of the story had been skimmed over, and in my opinion, ended too abruptly. However, one must remember that this is a HUMAN feat, and a rather difficult one, for a film thats trying to continue a legend and over come the previous Final Fantasy Movie flop "Spirits Within". For something made entirely though a computer, this was a work of art, with a little polish, that can turn into a masterpiece.
