Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children (Special Edition, 2 DVDs) ... Sony Pictures Home Entertainment UK / Features of the DVD: Anamorphic, Animated, Box set, Dubbed, PAL / The question facing any viewer of the Japanese CG feature Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children is: do you have to know the games on which its based in order to understand the film? And the answer is: it certainly helps. But even complete novices (i.e., most parents) in the Final Fantasy world will find some entertainment in its wealth of fantasy-based action, and the animation never fails to astonish. Picking up two years after an epic battle between the forces of good (represented by brooding soldier Cloud) and evil (Clouds former general, Sephiroth), FFVII opens in the devastated city of Midgard, whose youthful occupants suffer from a ghastly disease known as Geostigma. A trio of brothers arrives with what appears to be a cure for the plague, but their gesture conceals a more sinister purpose: to revive Sephiroth and bring about the end of the world. Cloud and his companions must once again rise to the occasion to stop the siblings and the revived Sephiroth from unleashing total destruction. Complex and self-referential to the point of occasional incomprehension, Final Fantasy VII will definitely be most appreciated by fans of the game series, but if others can look past the numbing dialogue and frenetic action (which is a bit too intense for very young children), the film offers a carefree and action-packed viewing experience. The two-disc set contains the original Japanese language version of the film as well as an English-dubbed edition (Rachel Leigh Cook and Christy Carlson Romano, among others, provide the vocal talent) and a version edited for the Venice Film Festival. A 30-minute featurette that recaps the Final Fantasy story up to VII, as well as a making-of documentary, deleted scenes, and promotions for future Final Fantasy VII games and products round out the extras. --Paul Gaita

Origins In 1997, Square (now Square-Enix) released the marvel that is Final Fantasy VII. Well received by all, it warranted further attention and the producers behind it dually obliged. In 2005, Advent Children catered to almost every desire of the franchise' fans, the main wish being to see all their heroes in high definition, detailed models. That said, the fans of the game aren't going to settle for second best, meddling with the story and characters could prove fatal, however the makers seemed to have kept their heads and stayed true to what the game and its characters stood for. Its clear that the film is solely for the fans indulgence, rather than gaining new ... Read the complete review

I've never had chance to play all the Final Fantasy Games especially not VII. However I just watched this DVD today and I must say it is entertaining. The introduction at the beginning gives you a quick recap whats has happened in the past, and the story builds upon this. I gather the game would add a lot of background stroy about some characters that show up mid movie, all seeming to know each other. But to be fair thigns like this happeneing do not distract from the movie, as enough clues are given they actually know each other and its not just random. I believe this movie was made entirely by the game developers, and to be fair it clearly shows, ... Read the complete review

As a Final Fantasy fan I was very eager and excited to see this movie. Final Fantasy VII is still one of my all time favorite games and I wanted to see a continuation of one of the most amazing RPG stories that exsists. Back story (the game) Cloud (the main character) was trained as a SOLDIER, an army of the Shinra corporation and evil company that controlled all the power to the cities by stealing the lifeforce (Lifestream) form the planet and converting it into Mako a powerful energy source. Cloud had seen the evil ways of the Shinra and how using the lifestream was killing the planet and it's people. He then sets on a journey with a group of rebels to ... Read the complete review

Final Fantasy VII is often considered one of the best Final Fantasy games, so it's only natural that there'd be an eventual barrage of sequels and spin-offs. And enter the Compilation Final Fantasy VII, which focused on the stories of the characters at different parts of the FFVII timeline. Advent Children is set two years after the events of the game, and Cloud is living with Tifa as a delivery boy, but is haunted by past events, especially the deaths of - (spoilers, but you should have played the game, guys) Zack and Aerith. He gets attacked by three men, who are apparently remnants of Sephiroth, who are awaiting a reunion with "Mother" Jenova. ... Read the complete review

First of all if you love the Final Fantasy VII PS1 game then you need to watch this. Final Fantasy VII Advent Children is the film sequel to the Playstation One game.

New characters introduced are Kadaj, Loz and Yazoo - three mysterious brothers on a mission to reincarnate Sephiroph and complete his previous mission of evil against the planet. Aerith returns in several "dream" sequences. Two years after Midgar was destroyed by the meteor incident, a new city has been built on the ... Read the complete review
