The magical kingdom of Lucis is home to the sacred Crystal, and the menacing empire of Niflheim is determined to steal it. King Regis of Lucis (Sean Bean) commands an elite force of soldiers called the Kingsglaive. Wielding their king’s magic, Nyx (Aaron Paul) and his fellow soldiers fight to protect Lucis. As the overwhelming military might of the empire bears down, King Regis is faced with an impossible ultimatum – to marry his son, Prince Noctis to Princess Lunafreya of Tenebrae (Lena Headey), captive of Niflheim, and surrender his lands to the empire’s rule. Although the king concedes, it becomes clear that the empire will stop at nothing to achieve their devious goals, with only the Kingsglaive standing between them and world domination.

Very much a "fans-of-the-genre" film. You will hear negative criticism relative to the story, the structure, and the characters. For the most part, the criticism is legitimate, but while this is a film, it is made with a very specific audience in mind. If you have played a Final Fantasy game and could ignore the anime tropes and general awkwardness, then this will be right up your alley. This film blows Spirits Within out of the water in terms of actual...Final Fantasy-ness, and the story actually makes sense. It even manages to surpass Advent Children's action scenes. If you hear stuff about the uncanny valley in relation to this movie, please know you are speaking to a liar. This film is hands-down the pinnacle of realistic CG animation, and it will take a Behemoth(see what I did there?) to dethrone it(aaaaah I did it again). Kweh, Kupo and whatever a Cactuar says.

I don't no anything about the game itself but if you look this from its entertaining value and storyline ect. I would give it 3 points. Story is good, but little unfinished and while the characters are well formed as what animation goes they still lack something. But l love the idea of this movie.

When the movie ended, I said to myselves... What a shitty movie! A shitty ending can ruin the entire movie. It makes us forget all the good things from the rest of the movie, and focus just on that shitty ending. I said the word "shitty" again, because of the LOOSE ENDING. That's it? The movie ends, just like that..?
