i shall begin with a disclaimer represent this movie be not recommend for anyone who lack interest or have never play ff7 the game before watch . the movie rely on the audience knowledge of each character in the game to convey story plot element . and it do so very subtly . do your homework before watch this wonderful piece of cg film and i promise it will be that much good . with that in mind and this film have some of the most spectacular cg sequence i have ever witness . the whole experience felt like an extra long fmv sequence from the game and on steroid . yeah . the attention to detail in each scene and especially in the heavy action orient one and be so impeccable it leave me with a sense of awe . i believe the soundtrack be simplify so a to help the audience focus on the animation quality more than the music . again and for those who be familiar with the ff7 story and background and the music should not surprise anyone ( although the timing and placement of each soundtrack from the original accompany each scene and mood to the point where the music simply enhance the animation ) . once again and i myself have only play through ff7 once and thoroughly enjoy this piece of art from square enix . and that be the feel in most scene and choreograph and organize . like a dance . in short and if you enjoy the music or the game final fantasy 7 and this film will blow you out of the water . if youre in the unfortunate majority who have not experience the goodness know a ff7 on playstation or pc and do so before watch the movie will allow for an exponentially great experience . finally and i just want to make a note of the quality in animate this film . character move with fluidity . each scene background come to life and tell it own story . for those who criticize the thinness and dependency of the story plot and i urge you to reexamine the animation . facial reaction and subtle clue that bring about another level of entertainment above the typical narration method of story plot delivery . square enix and the great tetsuya nomura have set a new bar for quality animation and storytelling . advent child have usher in a new era for cg animation and allow the subtlety that lie in each character to speak volume in and of themselves . thanks square enix . the wait be well worth it .
