Watch Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV For Free

Touches You

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

I saw this movie yesterday and I have to say it's not a bad movie for the graphics. But in plot wise it's pretty boring.The voice actors are good and the action sequences were decent. But the last fight scene felt like it was going on for hours.Anyways its a decent film for graphics but not for plot.

Overall, the game-play was pretty good, but I expected more considering the time Square Enix spent developing this game. I liked how the developers tried to cater for newcomers to the Final Fantasy franchise with simple game-play mechanics and threw in some new ideas. The open world design was not bad either, and travelling around in your car/chocobo was a lot of fun.The biggest complaint I have is with the story and the characters in this game. The main story line isn't very compelling and some parts don't make much sense, even more so if you haven't seen the other materials made for FFXV. The characters lack depth and aren't developed very well. Noctis and Lunafreya's little love story has little to no back story and zero romance with an anticlimactic end. Noctis is not much of a hero to look up to, he's just an over-emotional spoiled brat. Ignis is pretty much a nanny-robot. Only Prompto and Gladius were characters that felt right; Prompto brought a light-hearted humour to the four- man gang, and Gladius was the big brother that Noctis needed much to have his back and toughen him up. Ardyn's actions are confusing and his motives aren't explained very well. All the other characters are just one-dimensional and simply forgettable.Other minor complaints I have are with the camera and the lip syncing. The camera was all over the place; a lot of the times it is hard to tell what is going on, more so in small tight spaces. The lip- syncing was just disconnecting.All-in-all, even though my review contains mostly complaints, it was a good action RPG, but it definitely is the weakest in the Final Fantasy series in story and characters.

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.

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.
