Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV (2016)

Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

Did you people see the same film I saw?

Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

The first must-see film of the year.

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.

First of all, let me tell all those people who complain about the story, telling that it is just a trailer for the game: Yes, it might only be an introduction, and? The Star Wars universe has games that are better than the movies. Is comparing this film to SW irrelevant? I don't think so. There were reviews crying about there are only two sides. Why is that only a small group of people fights against that mechanized/robot army? Khmm.. Star Wars did the same (3 times). Only two sides? One technologically improved country conquers nearby countries, becomes the biggest and most advanced empire. There is a kingdom that has an ancient power, so it can defend itself and it's nearby countries against the "empire" who slowly annex all the remaining areas, and rule over them with a dictatorship, so there will remain two sides. Of course there will be rebellions within both sides, because of all the nations migrating into a different system and culture. So it's similar to WWs and SW. So watch this movie as an introduction to an other world, and if you are interested in it, you can read novels or watch the Brotherhood: Final Fantasy XV anime series that continues the story from the last scene of the film. (so before crying that it's a game promo film, read about it, so you can find something useful) I would give this film a 8 or 9, but I rated it as 10 because there are so many brainless reviews that I got a bit angry and wrote this review. So final words: If you want a great action/fantasy CGI film, this is just perfect for you. There is a ~5 sec long scene, with a car (futuristic Audi R8) that substitute a whole Fast and Furious film in action and imagination so as it was fun as hell.

Alright, this movie might seriously have the best CGI I have ever seen in my entire life. Then again, I guess it's still not quite as good as "The Adventures Of Tintin". Nonetheless, there were so many times while watching this film that I confused it for a live-action movie. I mean, this is just so amazingly realistic! I'm glad we have more good movies for such a beloved franchise. I've now seen every "Final Fantasy" movie! Okay, there were only three of them, but still. It's hard not being a "Final Fantasy" fan, but the thing is, most of the games themselves aren't related to each other.With every movie, there are new characters so it's very difficult to keep up. This has a 13% on RottenTomatoes?! These people are completely insane! I mean, I guess the plot and characterizations could be a little better, but this is just an amazing film to look at with its fantastic action scenes. It's not like they make the whole movie one big fight scene. They really do have nice character development. Well, I can't really remember any of their names but that's because "Final Fantasy" has such a massive mythology that it's hard to keep up. It wasn't just one long video game cut scene. It was an epic film great in its own right. ***1/2

I watched this movie after beating the game and it was amazing!It filled tons of missing plot information that you don't gather from the video game.I love how it ties from the movie to the video game as well with the ending of the movie and the beginning of the video game.I think in order to appreciate the movie you need to get the story line of the game.I can see how the story line just by the movie alone would be very confusing to viewers however regardless of if you watched the movie first then played the video game, vice versa, you will be asking yourself questions without the other half.Regardless though as a witness to both sides, I absolutely loved it!
