Very good story, may not be as easy to follow for those who have not played FF7 on the PS1. Play the game, get the movie
I decided that since I've spent so much time playing the game, I kinda owed it to myself to give the movie a chance. The movie is awsome. The way they animated the movie and told the story really makes it feel like the game. The
game was totally text based and I have always wondered what the games characters would sound like if they could talk. It's amazing on how they got the voices to fit with the characters. I've seen the behind the scenes voice translation and conversion to English bonus dvd, and I was amazed on how much work went into the voice acting. The movie dialog was completly in Japanese and it was animated in Japanese. What they did to make the English version was remarkable, they didn't change any of the animation, but they managed to get it to look like it was originally made in English.
I give the movie a 10 out of 10 and highly recommend it. Play the game, get the movie.
