This movie was by far the worst of its years. Just to plainly say it out: I did not like it. At all(Hate is a very strong word...). This movie is 90% violence, and the 10% was Cloud's problems.

WE DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU AND YOUR NEEDS, CLOUD!

The fighting scenes happened too fast and too inhumane for the human eye to actually take it all in. The producers treat all the characters as if they were gods, and thus make them very un-realistic.

I know this review was short, but there's nothing much to say when all you can pinpoint are the bad points.(Please don't complain to me if the score is too low for your liking)

Hopefully, if they make another movie, they can fix their mistakes and make a better, more complete movie.

The actual movie itself was a great thing for fans of the game. The movie, though, spawned an almost undeniable franchise frenzy of FFVII gear, spinoffs, and teasers. The movie was great, but I don't want to see Sqaure-Enix start to lose it's edge by trying to mimic ffvii for the rest of it's career life. But things unrelated to the movie aside, I think the use of humor, in a few circumstances, did brighten the mood and made the watcher, for those who are familiar with the FF series and FFVII game, feel almost like you were visiting a familiar land. The fights, music, voices, and details were great. I only wish it was bigger and the story was a little more complex and iintricate.

Overall the entire ride was rather short but very much worth the watch none-the-less. This maybe just because I'm studying 3D and design in my classes that I found watching this movie over-and-over again worth it. Just seeing 3D animation of this quality in an action movie truly states that soon enough we may just have no need for physical actors anymore, just voice. Detail wise was very good. Cloth acted like cloth, metal acted like metal, no random jumps or anything. The animation was flawless and was the high point of this movie. Given that this is not for everybody. People set for story-wise will be lost right away if they didn't properly understand the video game. Certain elements of this movie require you know key events in the past game.
