Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk:
The question facing any viewer of the Japanese CG feature Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children is: do you have to know the games on which it’s based in order to understand the film? And the answer is: it certainly helps. But even complete novices (i.e., most parents) in the Final Fantasy world will find some entertainment in its wealth of fantasy-based action, and the animation never fails to astonish. Picking up two years after an epic battle between the forces of good (represented by brooding soldier Cloud) and evil (Cloud’s former general, Sephiroth), FFVII opens in the devastated city of Midgard, whose youthful occupants suffer from a ghastly disease known as Geostigma. A trio of brothers arrives with what appears to be a cure for the plague, but their gesture conceals a more sinister purpose: to revive Sephiroth and bring about the end of the world. Cloud and his companions must once again rise to the occasion to stop the siblings and the revived Sephiroth from unleashing total destruction. Complex and self-referential to the point of occasional incomprehension, Final Fantasy VII will definitely be most appreciated by fans of the game series, but if others can look past the numbing dialogue and frenetic action (which is a bit too intense for very young children), the film offers a carefree and action-packed viewing experience. The two-disc set contains the original Japanese language version of the film as well as an English-dubbed edition (Rachel Leigh Cook and Christy Carlson Romano, among others, provide the vocal talent) and a version edited for the Venice Film Festival. A 30-minute featurette that recaps the Final Fantasy story up to VII, as well as a making-of documentary, deleted scenes, and promotions for future Final Fantasy VII games and products round out the extras. --Paul Gaita

- an excellent film
now although i admit the film is confusing if you haven't played the game it's still a great film i watched it and i hadn't played the game and i pieced together most of it aprt from the characters my advice if you haven't played the game is to ignore the plot and focus on the action aside from that it's a complex intelligent beautiful action filled film i advise to watch

Rating:

- Do not watch unless you are a FF fan
Incomprehensible story if you are not familar with the FF characters. I watched it with a fan and he did appreciate it more. The bottom line is the film does not tell a story on it's own.

- Flash but no substance
Final Fantasy 7:Advent Children looks very good. Better than The Spirits Within, and that's saying something. It's got action, vast cityscapes, and people with hair that moves. And it's got monsters and motorbikes, and more action...and yet more action. In fact, there's so much action everything else falls by the wayside, and here lies one of the films biggest failings.

First, it has to be said that if you haven't seen Final Fantasy 7 and know a far bit about the world that this adventure takes place in, you're going to be totally lost here, because the movie is a direct sequel to that video game. So, as far as the movie going public goes, that's got to be a pretty small audience, even for a game like this, which was a massive world ... Read More:

- Absolutely amazing
This film is absolutely amazing. I believe this is a great movie and one of the best of all time. The characters are rendered so amazingly that it seems that they are played by real actors, also the backgrounds and storyline are brilliant. Great purchase at £5. The storyline is slightly confusing but not too much, a couple of viewings and you will understand.

- The sequel to the best ever game is here, but I'm sorry to report it's all mouth and no trousers.
Being a fan of the series, I was especially keen to hear in 2005, that the folks at Square-Enix were making a sequel to quite possibly the best video game of all time.
Back in the late nineties and, in fact, up to about an hour ago, I've been playing the masterpiece of the original Final Fantasy VII video game. It is a brilliant game, with (at the time) ground breaking graphics, and a plot so thick and diverse that you'd wonder if they were somehow reconstructing history. I, like millions of others around the world, was simply in awe of its achievements.
However one does have to wonder if in fact, they should have quit while they were WAY ahead.
Let's start with the plot. In short, it's painfully simple. Moreover, back-story knowledge ... Read More:
