![]() It comes with a slight weakness in facial animations as the emotions are sometimes not transferred well enough. Everything looked amazing and the movie itself set the new standards. Like already said technically this was a masterpiece of the era. It uses themes from the Gaia theory that can be a bit confusing if you are unfamiliar with. I must also admit that it sounds better on paper and is not in the realm of the better stories in the genre. ![]() I think it is a fresh approach and a bit unique. The story is actually good and has its moments. The protagonist Aki Ross is on a mission that could change the status quo but has to be secretive about as there is more to it then it seems. However there are some strange or unfitting things like the Phantoms not using their advantages in a tactical way or seem not cooperating (They could have won and ended humanity long ago with ease even if slightly competent). What makes them even more dangerous its that they can kill by touch and seek out lifeforms. They are invisible to the naked eye and physical matter is not effecting them like us or how it should. This is caused because the alien live forms called Phantoms have ghost like characteristics. Humanity is nearly wiped out and hides in cities with shields as no human can survive on the outside. Earth has been overrun by alien live forms that came to us via a meteorite. A perfect example for the middleground being the worst case. For fans of the games it is unrelateable and for others it is just a standard movie with some good or unique ideas. This is the kind of decision that seems good on paper but annoys the viewers. Recently I read that they wanted to make something that is for everyone and does not rely on knowledge of the games. It uses a few recognizable themes but is more like a post apocalyptic science fiction movie. As fans we would say it is not Final Fantasy or to be more generous not Final Fantasy enough by far. Then we watched the movie and it was a bit divisive. They are set in different worlds with new characters and sometimes really different mechanics and ideas (There are of cause some staples and reoccurring themes). We noted that the trailers did not look like it was related to any Final Fantasy game which was not strange as the games are no sequels of each other in this regard. ![]() What we did not know back then was that this made the movie really expensive and it was a ton of work. It was a new milestone in animations and creating realistic characters. It blow away the minds of many and the attention reached even people that never played videogames or have heard of Final Fantasy. It was the first time that we got realistic animated human characters. The trailers and animation looked amazing. So many people including me were hyped when a Final Fantasy movie was produced. It is one of the most recognized and successful franchises in the industry with a loyal fanbase. The Final Fantasy franchise is a long running series of role playing games by Square (later Square Enix). Sadly it lacks in the story and character parts. Technically it was a masterpiece back then and there were even some people that thought that it could lead to actors becoming obsolete.
