Two years after the events in "Final Fantasy VII", a disease called 'Seikon-Shoukougun', or 'Geostigma', is spreading through the planet. This disease is believed to have been caused by the body fight...( read more  read more... )ing off foreign material that invaded the body two years earlier, at the end of "Final Fantasy VII". Guilt-ridden and haunted by his past, ex-SOLDIER Cloud Strife has decided to live a secluded, solitary life away from his friends while maintaining "Strife's Delivery Service", whose headquarters is located in Tifa Lockheart's bar, the Seventh Heaven. Tifa's bar serves as an orphanage for children stricken with Geostigma. Here, Tifa keeps an eye on Barret's six-year-old daughter, Marlene, while Barret searches the planet for an alternative energy source to the Planet's energy, Mako. One day, Cloud receives a phone call from the former Shinra, Inc. president, Rufus, asking him for protection from a mysterious man named Kadaj. Kadaj, in the meantime, along with his brothers Loz and Yazoo, are searching for their "mother", and seem to believe that Cloud knows where to find her. Meanwhile, Vincent Valentine has been wandering the planet gathering information on Kadaj's scheme, and Cloud and his friends must come together again to fight these new enemies.

    REVIEW
    I'm not really the biggest Final Fantasy fan but this movie is sti...( read more)ll awesome in its own terms. Visuals were top notch, I can see the painstaking effort the creators put in to make the movie a visual delight. It was raw, crisp and awesome altogether. Leave it up to Japan and their innovative and genius minds to make something epic like Final Fantasy. The sound was astounding, it definitely matched the movie's epic vibe and definitely one of the highlights of the movie.

    The plot may be lacking but they made it up in the action department, in more ways than one. Some mind blowing action scenes involves a dragon (or something I'm not really sure) and Cloud with his massive sword jamming it straight down the dragon's throat. And then there's the fight scene inside the church when Tifa fights one of the awesome bad guys. Quite possibly the best scene of the whole movie.

    Definitely a lot better than the more commercialized "The Spirits Within". Seriously, why did they even use Final Fantasy's name on that one?

    A treat for Final Fantasy fans, but non-devotees may be left wondering what's behind all the action. Excellent special effects.

    Fanboy junk food of the highest order, the fans ate it joyfully, anyone else has no bussiness seeing this. It adds nothing to the story of the game, neither to the character arc. Just an excuse to see Sephiroth and Cloud do big jump after big jump to smash their swords over and o...( read more)ver. Even if that had been enjoyable the film will be sort of watchable, but Nomura and Nozue manage to make the fights repetitive and tedious as hell.

    No matter how well polished is the CGI, how shinny and good looking everything is in a film, if the characters are as interesting as wood plankets, and could be easilly replaced by said things, then this is no film but actually a fetichistic waste of computer graphics. Not-so-dear-as-of-lately-SE: stop wasting time on this crap and just make better games.

    ''The last thoughts of Geostigma's death...those remnants will join the lifestream and girdle the planet; choking it; corroding it. What I want, Cloud, is to sail the cosmos with this planet as my vessel. Just as Mother did long ago. then one day we'll find a new planet and on...( read more) it's soil we'll create a shining future.''

    Advent Children is the worst adaptation of all of my fave game FF VII, granted the animation is beautiful but it's like looking at a jumbled sequence of numbers that have no meaning in their randomness.

    I must admit it started quite promising before sinking in there's that absence of emotion yet again as with the other FF film. Advent Children tells of events after what happens in the game FF VII. It's disappointing that they couldn't have just made a film of the game not one thats a follow up to it.

    Granted Tifa i used to fancy like hell despite the fact she wasn't real, Aeris and the whole love triangle with Cloud always made me light and warm.
    Sephiroth is still one of the best villains I've seen in a game and the last boss battle with him in with it's choir like singing blows me away as does the weapon he dons in human form, captivating!

    It's a shame because FF VII was one of the most emotionally ground breaking games of all time that changed and absorbed a year of my life. A whole world, each game so detailed and to convert that into a film may be impossible.

    Certainly Advent Children proves this...

    Pretty good, even though the plot is pretty convoluted and appears disconnected from the game.
