Movie time: FF7AC

Okay. So everyone’s been ranting and raving about Final Fantasy 7: Advent Children.

I have a bit of advice for the crowd that is very non-keen on Squaresoft (now Square-Enix):
Before you judge this movie, go and watch it as if you were under these conditions:

  • You have never seen The Matrix.
  • You enjoy high-action anime.
  • Neither Dragon Ball Z, Matrix Reloaded, nor Matrix Revolutions ever existed. (Original Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball GT may exist.)
  • You have at least a basic grasp on key points of the storyline presented in Final Fantasy VII, a Playstation only title by the company then known as Squaresoft.
  • You ABSOLUTELY DO NOT go with:
    • Anyone that is a Square or Enix fanboi.
    • Someone who has seen the movie, in its entirety, at least twice.
    • Someone who goes into drooling fits at the mere mention of the trailer, never mind the movie itself.

You may find that your money to see this movie will be well spent.
Yes. I said money.
I do intend to actually visit a theatre, and watch this in English.
I do, also, hope that they don’t screw the everloving hell out of the Americans with shoddy voice acting.
No grating voices, please (And heh, RedXIII’s Japanese voice acting seemed to have a bit of a … homosexual? overtone to it).

Other than that… enjoyable flick.

Aren’t you amazed? Not a single definitive spoiler in my gloss-over, lah!
