I have no words. I do not know where to begin writing a comment for this movie. This is an unique experience. A visit into the future of movie making. At the time writing there's just one other like it and that's the other FF movie, but this leave it's predecessor far behind. Before I continue though, FF and FF:AC have nothing to do with each other. I am only saying predecessor because FF was the first full-length 3d movie with human-like main characters.
Where FF tried to capture perfect 3d modelled humans though, FF:AC focus on beauty and action. Even if the characters are more anime like (large eyes etc) they move more fluid than the stiff characters did in FF. The action is fastpaced, or rather... it's extreme, or rather... it's like a redbull flavored double espresso with crack inside.
So far I have written about the looks. It's because I look at this movie as a milestone in artwork and movie-making. Because of this, the story comes second. Unfortunate, the story is confusing for someone who have not played Final Fantasy 7 (the console game that can be considered the true prequel to FF:AC). Keeping up with the story and what the (¤!¤!¤ is going on is difficult to say the least. Do not expect any realism. The movie even resembles the computer game in how the characters fight. It's also played like an anime, or comic book, as how it "stops the camera" for a second or two in the middle of the action, let the image sink in, and than continue.
If you have played FF7, see it for the story and the visuals. If you have not, see it for the visuals. It's an unique and unmatched experience that make you all bubbling with excitement about the movies of tomorrow. This is like seeing the movies of tomorrow, today.
