The question facing any viewer of the Japanese CG feature Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children is: do you have to know the games on which it's based in order to understand the film? And the answer is: it certainly helps. But even complete novices (i.e., most parents) in the Final Fantasy world will find some entertainment in its wealth of fantasy-based action, and the animation never fails to astonish. Picking up two years after an epic battle between the forces of good (represented by brooding soldier Cloud) and evil (Cloud's former general, Sephiroth), FFVII opens in the devastated city of Midgard, whose youthful occupants suffer from a ghastly disease known as Geostigma. A trio of brothers arrives with what appears to be a cure for the plague, but their gesture conceals a more sinister purpose: to revive Sephiroth and bring about the end of the world. Cloud and his companions must once again rise to the occasion to stop the siblings and the revived Sephiroth from unleashing total destruction. Complex and self-referential to the point of occasional incomprehension, Final Fantasy VII will definitely be most appreciated by fans of the game series, but if others can look past the numbing dialogue and frenetic action (which is a bit too intense for very young children), the film offers a carefree and action-packed viewing experience. The two-disc set contains the original Japanese language version of the film as well as an English-dubbed edition (Rachel Leigh Cook and Christy Carlson Romano, among others, provide the vocal talent) and a version edited for the Venice Film Festival. A 30-minute featurette that recaps the Final Fantasy story up to VII, as well as a making-of documentary, deleted scenes, and promotions for future Final Fantasy VII games and products round out the extras. --Paul Gaita

Rating: - Do you have to be a Final Fantasy fan to enjoy this movie?
I saw Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within a long, long time ago. I don't remember much about it but I do remember that I enjoyed it and was particularly blown away by the beauty of the CGI. There was no need to play the game and I thought that this would be pretty much the same.
The only place I was wrong was that this movie would have made a lot more sense, and had a lot more meaning, if I had actually played the games or followed the storyline. Because I hadn't there were a lot of references that I missed and I had a tough time following who the good guys and the bad guys were. But by the middle of the movie I seemed to be following things pretty well with an occasional shock here and there.
So if you haven't played the game, take it from me, this movie is still worth picking up. The action is pretty intense, the voice characters are pretty good, and the graphics could not be done any better. The storyline seems epic in proportion but if you pay attention I think anybody can get a basic understanding of the overall storyline and plot.
It makes me want to pick up the game and storyline sometime.
Rating:  - :D
Absolutely amazing. Beautiful graphics and and even better storyline. If you are a HUGE FF7 fan like me, you'll love it! c:
Rating: - Great movie, nice package.
Great movie if you're a fan of FFVII saga. I picked this up to supplement my Crisis Core experience. Loved em both. Good service too.
Rating:  - Flashy but no substance
Final Fantasy 7:Advent Children looks very good. Better than The Spirits Within, and that's saying something. It's got action, vast cityscapes, and people with hair that moves. And it's got monsters and motorbikes, and more action...and yet more action. In fact, there's so much action everything else falls by the wayside, and here lies one of the films biggest failings.
First, it has to be said that if you haven't seen Final Fantasy 7 and know a far bit about the world that this adventure takes place in, you're going to be totally lost here, because the movie is a direct sequel to that video game. So, as far as the movie going public goes, that's got to be a pretty small audience, even for a game like this, which was a massive world seller. But that's still not going to get as many bums on seats as your usual futuristic blockbuster. Still, let's assume that you're a bit of an FF fan and you've taken your chances and sat down, looking forward to seeing all your favourite characters come to life, so lets see what you get.
Well, here's what the game gets pretty much right. There they all are, Cloud, Tifa, Yuffie, Barrett, etc and they look fantastic. The animation is superb, everyone moves, walks and gestures like a real person. The city (Midgar?) looks authentic and the feeling of familiarity is spot on. This was definitely a labour of love. They've even included some of the same musical themes.
Now that you've got over the thrill of the characters coming to life, ... Read More
