Review
Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, is a follow up movie to the hugely successful Final Fantasy VII game. It's set two years after the conclusion of the game. Considering how popular the original game was, a movie tie in was inevitable, however it is a bit late considering that the game was released 9 years ago. Luckily for those who have forgotten key elements of the RPG, the DVD includes a feature called Reminiscence of Final Fantasy VII, which is basically a concise walk through of the key story elements, in the form of footage of the original Japanese edition of the PlayStation game.
Rating: 6/10
