Advantages: Great animation and cast.

Disadvantages: Title puts people off who have played the games.

Most people didn't like this film because it was noting like the games, I on the other hand saw this first and was disappointed by the games. It's a great sc-fi film which every one of almost any age should like even if you have played the game because it has something for everyone and look fantastic.

(WARNING! Possible Spoiler) the story: a meteor fell to Earth and aliens started to kill any one they touched. Humans have made barrier cities that keep them out and aim in the end to blow the aliens off the face of the Earth. But the main character (Aki) and renegade military unit try to discover how they got here and why and eventually find a way to get rid of them even though it is a controversial topic in a mainly military ruled society where the baddy is willing to do anything to do what he thinks is right, even it means Aki and her friends die.

It is animated beautifully which not many films have managed to do. The animation means the character look like they are in these fabulous places and structures that would be almost impossible to create in real life and they can wear costumes that would be a struggle to really wear. It also features the voices of top stars like Alec Baldwin, James Woods and Steve Buscemi.

I recommend this film to any fan of sc-fi films and any fans of the game because if it wasn't called final fantasy... you would love it so just ignore the titles.

Summary: There is no good reason no to see this film.
