Final Fantasy ..Afterthoughts

ofcourse the dubbing was gonna be poor, it was made for japs and then imported here as an after thought
(well not quite as bad as that), but you get me?
then ending was like the final FMV in FF7.

Well lads I'm afraid i gotta burst the bubble.
Personaly I thought it quit good but not a master peice as you put it, as I watched the film the thought that "Im only really watchin this because its animated" crossed my mind many times. Basicly the story did have the classic fantasy vibe, like ff games but just didnt cut it as a film, I think ff should stay in the gaming relms and not the movie industry.
Cut it down simply if it were a real film not animated it wouldnt go anywhere
Thats what i think and feel free to contredict me but i stick by it.

Actually it's the other way around. They made it in english for the americanos and are going to dub it in japanese. Come to think of it, they might keep it in englsih, not sure on that one.<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by chernobyl:

I really liked the plot imo, very new and refreshing from other scifi movies. And thankfully keeping true to the games it was epic, evolving and funny.
I walked in expecting to see a Short Final Fantasy Game story without the game part, and thats exactly what i got. The ending rocked also
It did bear a major resemblance (i.e planet spirt and all that) to ff7
Tbh the only thing i tought mabye could have been abit better was the voice acting/lip syncing , the charactors Emotional facial expressions could have been done better @ times and they went abit O.T.T on the camera shaking (esp in the dream scene's).
There really just superfical problems tho, besides that its utterly perfect.
my 2 cents

Great film that falls short of true brilliance by little more than a gnat's wing. Bodes well for the future of CG movies, while still leaving it pretty sure enough that live action movies with real actors (no CG) are safe enough for some time yet ( i.e.: CG is unlikely to completely replace live actors... for some time at least
)
Suffers slightly from the criticism in reviews of being "cold and clinical" and I can certainly see that in the movie itself. Also, the script loses a little in it's translation/dubbing from Japanese, although what script is there is voiced well and the lip sync is *fairly* good. A couple of more humourous moments would have been good though.
Very enjoyable overall - a visually gorgeous movie which truly did make me forget half-way through that it was a totally CG generated feature. (I found myself almost asking "how did they get a camera up there...?" )
Good work Square fellahs!

NO i love the games and while i thought the movie was good i thought it could have been alot better very very nice to look at tho
The story for me wasnt realy good enuf and maybe it was a bit short ?? i dont know but deffinatly could have been alot better0 -

I thought the CGI was amazing. I reckon it bodes really well for the future, but I thought the story line really let the film down. There were major gaps and it (storyline/plot) really seemed secondary to the CGI. That's all very well but won't get people who aren't big sci-fi fans into the cinemas to watch it and ultimately fund further shows.
and .c you have dreadful taste - except for Segal 0 -

That movie was ****ing brillant, I'd defently go and see it again. At times, the women actually looked real... And it was mad to see the Square logo with 'Pictures' at the end.
Anyways... The story line was a bit weak, unlike the games, but the theme was brillant. The first time Planet Earth has been used I think... And James Woods (I think) Character MADE that movie... (The Evil General)... He really gave the FF feel to it.

I thought this film kicks a$$. The storyline WAS there{what the hell do critics know....fÜck them . The graphics were nothing short of absolute brilliance and the characters moved well with the scenery.
It also had that FF7 feel to it, like the terms used of Gaia, Spirit energy and the ending sequence were all sort of taken from FF7 i'd say. Still does nothing to harm the film I hope they could make another one in a few years to come when graphic skills will be vastly enhanced and the film will look as if it's a real world....better than this movie,s. I loved the dreams and what they WERE really, added class. All in all, this was COOL

The film was excellent. No arguments, please.
I guess what really impressed me were the, frankly, stunning CG visuals. Does anyone else love watching the FMV bits in games? I do, and the film was very reminiscent of the FMV sequences in FF (and other) games.
As for the plot itself - it resembled a FF game in itself. When the DVD comes out, people will half-expect to see FFX written somewhere on it. I really liked the originality of the plot (okay, perhaps it's not so original in the context of RPG games, but in the context of a film, I don't think I've seen anything like it). The spirits were deadly - when you first see them, you wonder why everyone was so scared of them - even if some of them did look vaguely like the Aliens (in the Alien films - with Sigourney Weaver). It's only later, when you see that they can steal 'souls' with a single touch that you appreciate the struggle the humans are up against.
I will admit that it's not to everyone's tastes. I believe that those who may not have appreciated the RPG's might not appreciate this as much as someone who loved it (like me - though FF8 was a bit of a disappointment)
Again, definitely one to get on DVD when it comes out.0 -
