Being a huge FFVII fan, I can say that it was worth the wait for the movie’s release! I do expect reviews to be different from those that have played the game and those that are watching it with no prior knowledge to the storyline. This movie isn’t related to the previous Final Fantasy movie whatsoever. It took me over 40 hours to pass the game back in 1999, and movie developers aren’t going to spend over two hours to recreate the game’s intricate plot. The visuals were breathtaking, the sound effects were fabulous, and like the video game, the music was beautiful. If you are a FFVII fan, you will enjoy FFAC. Don’t expect chocobos in the movie though. As for those that haven’t played the game, this movie might not have much resonance and might be overrated, but the animated effects are still up to par. :)
