Final Fantasy - The Movie

[ryasko]

Good God its been a while since I've been here, about 6 months to be exact.  Don't quote me on this, but rumor has it that Square _supposedly_ signed a deal with Columbia for 3 movies.  Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within was the first.

A second Final Fantasy movie was planned during production of the first, however, it's not so certain at this point since the cost to produce The Spirits Within was set at $70 million, but ended up being somewhere around $115 million.

Rumors also say that _if_ there is a sequel, it will continue the first movie and will therefore widen the gap between the games and the movie.

As for the third movie... anything goes at this point.  :roll:

IMO, the movie was VERY good, and I want it on DVD! I'd take a 35mm print if I could get my hands on one.If they DO make another FF movie, it'd be a first for the FF series as a whole if they continued where they left off in the first film. That's simply not done!

However, as for any films after this: They should have simply done what I wanted them to do in the first place, and make a 2-3 film trilogy of FF7.

But considering the length of the movie, it's be cheaper for them to simply make a single 3 hour film based on FF8.

I hope that square will come up with a real FF movie that can touch the meaning of their origins (well something like VIII or other series)

Okay, I've been to cinema today and I've finally seen it.
My opinion:I think it was a good movie. The story was, eh, well, it hadn't much to do with the FF games. It also could have any other name.
But I liked it, since the effects were great. Dr. Cid looked *VERY* realistic, more realistic than anybody else in the movie.
But there was sth 'bout the chars: They had no 'real' emotions, they couldn't play the kissing scene like real human could play it.
And I just don't like that everybody of Captain Grey's crew incuding himself died. I think that was a bit pity (I hope I can say it so in English?).

After all, I think it's worthy to watch it. Since it's been sth new in movie history...

You all are lucky. You know what? This movie will be at cinemas in next month in my country. The only thing I could do was to download it from internet. That's our polish reality. We're at the very end in everything (including movies, music, games and much much more different things)

(Another polish guy? Yeah)
I've got that problem, too, although I'm living in Germany.
Like actually for FFX, we also had to wait a long time to watch it. It's 'release' was last thursday, means six days ago... - Alhexx

The movie was just average. The action was kind of lacking, the sound effects were weak, and the story wrapped up too quickly. I think the movie's main problem was not having any real target audience. When I went down to watch it in Mexico, it was dubbed, as if it was a children's movie or something. I shook my head in disgust and saw it anyway. So yeah, main problem. Why would a teen watch it? A parent would let his kid see it... if only it was PG-13. Final Fantasy fans didn't have any reason to go see it either; no hidden jokes or references for us. The only attraction was the name.In short, average movie.
