Details

The magical kingdom of Lucis is home to the world’s last remaining Crystal, and the menacing empire of Niflheim is determined to steal it. King Regis of Lucis commands an elite force of soldiers called the Kingsglaive. Wielding their king’s magic, they fight to protect Lucis. As the overwhelming military might of the empire bears down, King Regis is faced with an impossible ultimatum – to marry his son, Prince Noctis to Princess Lunafreya of Tenebrae, captive of Niflheim, and surrender his lands to Niflheim rule. Although the king concedes, it becomes clear that the empire will stop at nothing to achieve their devious goals, with only the Kingsglaive standing between them and world domination.

Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.
Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
Michael Ledo The film opens with a rather lengthy introduction. I was confused by a number of things, like the princess staying behind and Lucis being the name of the good guy. Since when? Good guys in a city behind a wall. It is protected by the "Divine Crystal" whose magical powers are channeled through the aged King Lucis to both make a wall and give the Kingsglaive magical powers, particularly warping. Outside the city of Insomnia (seriously?) lives the evil empire with Starship Trooper bugs and a Kracken looking thing. They want the city and the rock.Like most films based on a game, there is little drama and a lot of fighting. I love the graphics and the Barbie Doll Uma Thurman Princess. My background is the gaming world is I played FF 1-8. Having spent the bulk of several months breeding and racing Chocobas, I got the sign on the truck. The film didn't allow me to connect to the characters. When a major character dies, I was emotionless unlike the week I had to take off of work when Aerith died. Apparently this game didn't having any healing spells as one character spends the entire film on a crutches.The plot twists around deceit and a royal wedding. And the ending...if I understand it...leaves things terribly open. Great action, great graphics, a plot you needed to pay attention to, and no Tifa Lockhart looking characters. Much better than the FFVII film.
Marius WM Square Enix has a problem. Their ability to tell stories is just not good. For some reason they aim to sabotage their own story lines by forcing viewers to guess, and pick up on very vague hints that are revealed for just half a second. They always aim to mix too many stories together, while none of them carry any weight.That said. This film has got to be the most impressive CGI film in the history of movies as of 2017. If you want to see a demonstration of just how far CGI has come, without any compromise, you have to see this film. Pixar and most Hollywood studios can just go to bed. Square Enix Visual Works is simply the best CGI studio in the world.Thats why its also good this basically is just an action film. Loaded with amazing battles, wars and magic from the very start. So watch this movie knowing you want to see an awesome action pop corn movie. Not much else. Its just too bad that the convoluted story telling prevents viewers from understanding the meaning of it all.
Angel Pelayo To start with, I have to say that this is the first film of the saga I watch, my interest in it began when I played the video game. First I saw it with the thought that the game is a masterpiece, willing to know whether the film was a match for the game or not. I must admit it is ; Takeshi Nozue has done a very good job, and the film is really worth to be seen. I think it must be a difficult thing to do, create a film based in a video game. It can't be easy, but the way in which Nyx, Libertus and the rest of the characters have been developed is absolutely amazing, so good that you want them to have their own game, that way you would be able to play and enjoy it. However, there is no perfect film, and there is a part I didn't like that much. It is the battle between the General and Nyx carrying the ring of Lucii. Everything happened too fast, and there where parts of the fight in which I couldn't distinguish one character from the other.In summary my opinion of this FF15 film is very positive. I had a great time and I really think it is worth spending a couple of hours watching it specially if you are keen on the video game
leonblackwood Review: This movie truly looked amazing, and the attention to detail was great but if you was to ask me what it was about, I totally wouldn't have a clue. I knew that there was a goodie, a baddie, a princess and a ring but apart from that, I was just going with the flow. The action scenes were also confusing because there was way to much things happening at once but it still felt epic and I'm sure I will understand it better, if I'm to watch it again. As I didn't play the games, I didn't know who was who, or what was what but I did watch the first Final Fantasy movie, which also went straight over my head. There's a lot of betrayal and deceit throughout the film, so the main character Nyx (Aaron Paul) has to rely on his battle skills to get Princess Lunafreya of Tenebrae (Lena Headey) to safety, and with a the dark Lord constantly attacking them for this magical ring (Precioussssss!), you can feel the intensity throughout. Personally, the look and feel of the movie, was more impressive than the actual storyline because it seemed quite messy and over baring in places. Apart from that, I still found it quite amazing, for a film that is made on a computer, and it really does show how far we have come, in terms of making these computer images seem so real. I'm surprised that it didn't smash the box office, mainly because of the popularity of the game, and with the huge effort and scale of the film, I think it deserved much more. Anyway, I did find the movie entertaining but it would have been much better if it was made for dummies. Enjoyable!Round-Up: This movie was directed by Takeshi Nozue, who also co-directed Final Fantasy: Advent Children, so he wasn't new to the franchise. As he hasn't directed any other movies, it's hard to compare his work but I have to commend him for taking on such a huge project and making it look so fantastic. Budget: N/A Worldwide Gross: $1.5millionI recommend this movie to people who are into their animation/action/adventure movies, voiced by Aaron Paul, Sean Bean, Lena Headey, David Gant, Darin De Paul and Trevor Devall. 5/10
