A Solid Introduction to the Video Game
5 September 2016
Warning: Spoilers
This movie is nothing more than a set up, or as someone said, a essentially long cut-scene prior to the video game. The story may not make sense, but this movie did feature spectacular action sequences with stunning visual effect and the music flowed correctly with the sequence, despite of some complaints of battle scenes being too long. As someone forgot what the genre is, it's an action CGI film. I do think this movie will make sense to some once the game is released and offer some explanations related to this film. Had the movie come out after the game is released, they would probably ease on the harsh negative reviews this movie received, for example, Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children. Luckily, this film is loved by any other fans.

I have not seen the film with foreign languages/accents, but I do think the dubbed voice this film feature is not half-bad and some of the lip sync is a bit off as well as the facial feature accompanied with it. I don't usually like dubbed voices because they usually sound stiff, using the accent wrong, or emotionless, but I was surprised how good this is. Not the best, but good nevertheless. It's all thanks to adding famous actors/actresses volunteered to voice the characters, and I applauded their effort. It also showed they're the fan of the games. Who knows they're secretly FF nerds.....

I actually love the details of the character models and location description, and the CGI is impressive as usual. I love how as years progress on, and technology is becoming more advanced, they add more details and they're almost as realistic as real life people. Some of the scenes, I almost forgot it's a CGI film, not a live action one.

Other than all that, I'm ready for the game to come out and I firmly believe I will enjoy the hell out of it.
