I have to admit, I was a bit skeptical about a FF7 DVD, being a huge fan of the game and all. I'm really glad I decided to buy it and give it a chance. This DVD can be summed up in one word: Amazing. The storyline starts where the game left off and does a great job of tying in with everything that happened in the game. To add to it's greatness, it has a FF7 recap so those who have not played the game in awhile can easily remember what happened. The graphics are breath-taking and the sound is a exceptional. This is a must for ANY Final Fantasy VII fan.
What's great about it: Amazing graphics, Storyline, and running time.

I've never really been into anime or even final fantasy but i really liked this movie. It had a lot of cool action in it and it was very random and made no sense to me. Anyway i really did enjoy it but it coul've helped to probably play the games.

I'll admit, that the first time I saw this, it didn't make a whole lot of sense. Even to my friends who actually played FFVII, the storyline didn't make a lot of sense. But that doesn't really matter because the whole movie is so absolutely beautiful. and because it was done in 3-d there are angles that you couldn't do with real people, and things that real people couldn't have done. And if you watch this movie enough, it makes more and more sense every time. I love it. My favorite part of the movie are the fight scenes, and Cloud's sword(s) in them. On service, It arrived pretty fast and in great condition. What more could you want?
What's great about it: Completely beautiful, awesome fight scenes
What's not so great: Story line doesn't make a lot of sense unless you really know your stuff

As a huge fan of the original Final Fantasy VII, I found this movie to be very satisfying. It truly is a beautiful film; it has by far some of the best CGI I've ever seen. That CGI is put to its best use in the action scenes, which are fast, frenzied, and full of great fighting "choreography." Any fan of FFVII will love this movie.
But, that is also it's biggest drawback. For those who have never played the original game, they'll have no idea what's going on. Granted there is a short synopsis at the beginning of the film, but it's not much. The story line isn't very clear in the movie anyway, so the lack of background information won't help. Also, the voice acting could use some work in specific areas of the movie. It's not bad overall, but some parts are better than others.
All in all though, this is a fun, short and sweet movie that any fan of action flicks should check out. If nothing else, just watch it for the CGI; it'll be the best you've ever seen.
What's great about it: Great fanservice to fans of the original game, intense action scenes, beautiful film
What's not so great: Story isn't the best, voice acting could use some work in some areas

Whether you are a Final Fantasy VII fan or not, Advent Children will certainly not dissapoint. Between the fluid animation, the excellent imagination of Nojima and Nomura, and the musical genius of Uematsu, this is one movie for anyone's collection. Taking place after the events of the 1990's story of Final Fantasy VII, the orginal characters find themselves facing a new menace; 3 Sephiroth clones in search of their "mother", the calamity of the sky, Jenova. The hero, Cloud Strife, must face his toughest opponent, his regret and fears, as he continues the struggle to save those dear to him and prevent chaos from threatening the planet again. Although rather short to cram in so much story, the movie still manages to captivate its audience, and leaves the viewer wanting more. This movie is recommended for teens and adults, as it contains some themes not easily understood by children. Definitely recommended for the Final Fantasy Fan. This movie deserves 5 stars.
What's great about it: Great Animation, Excellent Story, Great Soundtrack
What's not so great: Exceptionally Short, Rushed Story
