A deep and fascinating world to dive into, and I want to know more! If you can connect the dots, (and can wrap your head around certain fantasy concepts) the basic plot is a reasonably straightforward one. The "Empire" is attacking Lucis, and the Kingsglaive are the royal guard. The Empire halts the attack, knowing they can't get into the capital due to its magical shield. Under the pretense of a peace talk, the Empire seeks to gain access to the capital. Treachery and chaos ensue! Designed with the associated video game in mind, this world has a lot of complex story elements crammed into a film that is far too short for the awe inspiring visuals that make it worth any CG art lover's time. It also provides a lesson on things like the ever-present uncanny valley that make incredibly flawless animation look awkward or uncomfortable. Not only this, but a lesson on how NOT to re-animate lips for a re-dub. 90% of the time, the CG is near perfect. The remaining 10% feels rushed through the render farm, and it degrades the overall experience of the film. With a few more hours devoted to rendering, lip animation, and post, some of the less detailed scenes could have been improved.

Many may complain about the plot but overall you should (like any other movie without a sequel) come to understand it more as you watch. As well it is a captivating piece of art being that it is solely CG and yet at certain portions can be hard to tell. Finally any complaints to be made must first come to terms as this is primarily a gaming concept turned into a movie and I have yet to find any others that I'd say dare match up to this with the mentioned concept in mind.

Dont believe the critics. They are all litterally old sour pusses who apparently only know how to follow the masses instead of admitting the movie is good. I mean these are the same people who bashed Suicide Squad and caused an uproar in the fan base, thus causing it to be percieved porly. You could also go on to believe that obviously Squarenix didnt pay for the review.
