Two years have passed since the final battle with Sephiroth. Though Midgar, city of mako, city of prosperity, has been reduced to ruins, its people slowly but steadily walk the road to reconstruction. However, a mysterious illness called Geostigma torments them. With no cure in sight, it brings death to the afflicted, one after another, robbing the people of their fledgling hope.

After the slow start it's just a big over the top battle, and it's so cool to see all the favorite characters from the game again! Seeing Sephiroth in this can give you a nerdgasm!

If you want to see a movie with exceptional over-the-top, beautifully crafted computer animated characters and gravity defying fight scenes: FFVII: Advent Children is it!! The plot could have been explained a bit more thoroughly throughout the movie, but it does deliver the basics, which is enough to get an idea of the main idea. Questionably, the movie wanted us to believe that the 3 male villains are "young and violent," as described by Rufus Shinra speaking to Cloud, however, I thought the villains were very likeable and in some ways adorable. For example, Kadaj could have killed Reno and Rude when he broke in to speak to Mr. Shinra. Loz could have killed Tifa after he overpowered her. Yazoo and Loz could have hurt or even killed any of the children and Yazoo and Loz could have most likely killed Reno and Rude (using their gunblades) during their battle scene in Midgar. I'm NOT saying that I would have wanted any of those scenarios to actually happen, as I really liked all of the characters and I was glad no one was hurt. In another scene, during Kadaj's death, he is crying believing the voice he hears is "Mother" and that he finally found her. Oh yeah, such a badass villain there! But my point is, if you have villains, make them truly evil. In FFVII, the writers had the guts to kill off Areith by the villain Sephiroth. No matter how cool Sephiroth is, I despise him for this very reason. Overall, this movie is beautifully crafted, with loveable character (even the villains) and humorous at times. I hope at some point, these villains are brought back (hey, why not, it's anime after all) and used again for primary antagonist or even make them protagonist for another FFVII story. This movie is definitely worth seeing! For kids, watch the original FFVII: Advent Children. For older children/adults, watch the Complete version.

First off, I'd like to mention I haven't seen the Complete version yet. I won't deny that this movie is pretty awful; mediocre at best. The story is as meh as they come, and none of the characters are interesting at all (except maybe Sephiroth). So why do I like this movie? Because it is positively dripping with style and pizazz. I love watching the flashy, over-the-top fight scenes; especially the one between Cloud and Sephiroth. This movie looks and sounds awesome, and despite the horrid plot, I still get a kick seeing the action.

This movie is exactly what I thought it would be! The animation is great and the action sequences are awesome! I personally like the Japanese version better just because there is better flow with the dialog, I find the English voice overs don't suit the characters and in some cases the animated character is still "talking" when the voice actor has stopped, or the words spoken don't exactly match the movement of the characters mouth.Whether you are watching the Japanese or the English versions it is still a really great movie though! Highly recommend if you are a Final Fantasy fan!
