Well I finally got a chance to see the movie and I have to say I am very much impressed. The CG effects, the story was true to Squaresoft style RPG gameplay. Everyone looks so futuristic compared to their PSX counterpart...the new outfits above all are all nice, and the women are much hotter... lol

What are yours guys first impressions? Also... mark spoilers if you do give them.

THE REVIEW:
All in all, this movie has to be the best movie I've seen based off of an RPG if I ever saw one. The effects, CG animation are all top notch and almost expected of Square Enix. The story was epic as it continued on from an epic storyline in itself. Seeing the story unfold, reliving the past and reuniting with your ever so powerful and victorious party members in real time brought goosebumps to my whole body. Final Fantasy fans will be pleased, and non final fantasy fans will treat themselves to a nice action flick.

Body movements in the CG animation in some normal situations can look jagged and choppy , but it all makes up for it when everyone begins to fight. As soon as a fight starts, the animation gets so fluid you think your watching a real movie. Watch out for the animation when for example Tifa is just walking, then watch as Cloud spins and twirls w/ dazzling sword play and solid movement... these are errors in animation that can be forgiven.

Final overview... great effects, great storyline, animation will be jagged at times, this movie is a definite MUST BUY or Download...

Sony's Score: 9.5/10
