3/5

A fun follow up to the original game that has some good fight scenes but the animation and CG just aren't up to much in 2021. It's unapproachable to non-fans, for the record!

if you have played both the original and the Remake, and you're looking for something to hold you over until Intergrade comes out, it is easily the perfect way to scratch, and further provoke, that Final Fantasy itch.

Great animation, but a narrative disappointment.

3/5

Once the characters start spewing out reams of dialogue about "geostigma," "sephiroth," and "genova," my eyeballs involuntarily start to glaze over.

7/10

[The] battle scenes, during which all normal physics go straight out the window, are exhilarating in a disorienting thrill-ride way.

2/5

This is third-rate sci-fi cobbled together with familiar elements of a video game some people like, and that's not nearly enough to work as a film.

Ah, Final Fantasy 7: Advent Children a misunderstood masterpiece (yes I absolutely have a bias because FF7 is one of my favorite games.) This is a film that will make sense the more you dive deeper into the FF7 lore. Before Crisis, Crisis Core, OG, Remake Trilogy and of course the supporting novels. If you experience all of these and return to watch Advent Children it all finally clicks.

Game made it entertaining since you had that familiarity with the characters already. The story and action were good but slightly confusing.

Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, this was a mess. Not because it is a video game film filled with cool stuff in it. Because there was no plot, no story, and it sometimes makes no sense. Overall, I give this film a 3.7/10 or a 2.7/5 stars.

Excellent continuation of the FFVII story. Very good CGI and superb voice acting.
