Title: An exercise in stupidity.
Product review: I have played final fantasy 7 for hundreds of hours, loved it and consider it one of the greatest story driven games ever. Final Fantasy 7 stands taller than any other turn-based RPG. So, I had high expectations for the movie. It was a huge letdown. The characters seem to have far less personality and dimension than the game's characters. The events seem to have no cohesiveness - even understanding who the characters were it wasn't clear what their motivation was. The CG was superb technically but it seemed like some of the environments were inspired by later Final Fantasy games (too heavily doused in Japanese pop culture). In the end it just seemed like the director tried to generate interest by blasting the screen with ridiculous fight scenes where no one cares of the outcome.
