Review: This movie truly looked amazing, and the attention to detail was great but if you was to ask me what it was about, I totally wouldn't have a clue. I knew that there was a goodie, a baddie, a princess and a ring but apart from that, I was just going with the flow. The action scenes were also confusing because there was way to much things happening at once but it still felt epic and I'm sure I will understand it better, if I'm to watch it again. As I didn't play the games, I didn't know who was who, or what was what but I did watch the first Final Fantasy movie, which also went straight over my head. There's a lot of betrayal and deceit throughout the film, so the main character Nyx (Aaron Paul) has to rely on his battle skills to get Princess Lunafreya of Tenebrae (Lena Headey) to safety, and with a the dark Lord constantly attacking them for this magical ring (Precioussssss!), you can feel the intensity throughout. Personally, the look and feel of the movie, was more impressive than the actual storyline because it seemed quite messy and over baring in places. Apart from that, I still found it quite amazing, for a film that is made on a computer, and it really does show how far we have come, in terms of making these computer images seem so real. I'm surprised that it didn't smash the box office, mainly because of the popularity of the game, and with the huge effort and scale of the film, I think it deserved much more. Anyway, I did find the movie entertaining but it would have been much better if it was made for dummies. Enjoyable!
Round-Up: This movie was directed by Takeshi Nozue, who also co-directed Final Fantasy: Advent Children, so he wasn't new to the franchise. As he hasn't directed any other movies, it's hard to compare his work but I have to commend him for taking on such a huge project and making it look so fantastic.
Budget: N/A Worldwide Gross: $1.5million
I recommend this movie to people who are into their animation/action/adventure movies, voiced by Aaron Paul, Sean Bean, Lena Headey, David Gant, Darin De Paul and Trevor Devall. 5/10
