Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Leaked

愛 · 09-12-2005, 06:36 PM

So the movie was leaked today by a group that I will not mention. I was fortunate enough to secure myself a copy with English subtitles.

I could say this movie was great. I could say this movie was excellent. However, the previous two statements don't do this movie justice. The storytelling, cinematography, musical composition, and purpose of the movie all come together to form a movie that transcends all other movies made from video games. I was skeptical at first when I first heard the movie was going to be made. I even criticized it at first. But when I saw the first trailer of the movie, I knew they were doing something right, and my predictions were confirmed today. I can say that I am completely satisfied with this movie, and truly intend on purchasing my own copy.

My advice? See the movie. Please. You don't even have to like Final Fantasy to love this movie. You don't even have to like video games to enjoy this movie. But for the Final Fantasy fans here on this board, I assure you, you will be infinitely pleased with this film.

I tried to download it but it was a file format I can't use. So yeah...I was also deeply disturbed by the fact that it downloaded in seconds.

I got an actual DVD rip of the movie from a BitTorrent site. PM me and I'll hook you up with the movie if you want it.

*Spitfire* · 09-12-2005, 08:25 PM

Yeah that's what I got I just didn't get how to play it maybe you can help ^_^

**GK Punk** · 09-12-2005, 11:29 PM

Hook me up, Ai.

**Barkworm** · 09-13-2005, 12:29 AM

Ai, how's the quality of the fansub (video and subtitle quality)? I wouldn't want to watch this in a less than perfect version.

*Dane E5R* · 09-19-2005, 04:44 AM

Coulda sworn I responded to this...
Anyway, FFVII is my second all time favorite video game, so naturally I had high hopes for this, and I wasn't disappointed. At all. I WILL be owning this unbelievable masterpiece when it hits our shores. This is the movie The Spirits Within should've been. That being said...
Anyone know where I can find some english subtitles for Last Order?

The fact that Zarius liked it means that anyone who didnt dig it is wrong.

Joking....

Send me the link, please! I've heard great things about this.

Do anybody perform their limit breaks?

*Dane E5R* · 09-19-2005, 07:29 PM

I noticed Tifa and Cloud did. I think they're the only two, though. They're very casually slipped in, though, in the same fashion of the Street Fighter II animated movie, where they seem more "realistic." So don't be expectin' Cloud to stand there and light up for a minute.

**Barkworm** · 10-18-2005, 04:07 AM

I finally watched it!
And you know what? I have to agree with Mecha in some points. Of course it was totally sweet to see our favourite characters back in action (Cloud, Sephiroth and Vincent were so badass, it wasn't even funny) but I'm really surprised that people like Anarky and Peanut who didn't like/play the game actually enjoyed it. Because as far as story is concerned (if there even was any) this movie was a major bummer. FFVII was famous for one of the best storys in video game history and "Advent Children" was basically two hours of fight scenes, fight scenes and even more fight scenes. Oh and Cait Sith should die a horrible death.
Bottom line: To me this movie is two hours of fanboy service. Hence I loved it. I can easily see how someone who didn't play the game could dislike it though.

IceFlash78 · 11-12-2005, 12:21 AM

Hey... sorry for necroposting, but I just downloaded Advent Children, and I have to say... while the plot escaped me (I need to see it again to really "get" the plot), it was simply.... beautiful.

It could have been the way the video was downloaded, but some transitions felt slightly akward, ditto translation, and some fo the fight scenes were slightly too flashy (i.e., you didn't really see the actual combat, it was almost too fast to see)...

However.... it was so beautiful.... I mindgasmed... I was just in awe... Cloud is so f**king badass. It was so beautiful that all of my nitpicks above is simply irrevelant.

Question though... Cloud's swords? Are they the swords that Cloud "obtained" in FF7 that he somehow managed to combine into one big sword that he can take apart at will?

Dude, there was no plot. The movie was just about Cloud kicking ass.

and Kick some serious ass did he! I was just in AWE of his combat skills.

I've seen this too.

I thought the animation was beautiful! However, I was extremely bored while watching the movie.
