Continuing the storyline based on the hit Playstation® game Final Fantasy VII, two years have passed since the ruins of Midgar stand as a testament to the sacrifices made in order to bring peace. However, the world will soon face a new menace. A mysterious illness is spreading fast. Old enemies are astir. And Cloud, who walked away from the life of a hero to live in solitude, must step forward yet again . . .
The question facing any viewer of the Japanese CG feature Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children is: do you have to know the games on which it’s based in order to understand the film? And the answer is: it certainly helps. But even complete novices (i.e., most parents) in the Final Fantasy world will find some entertainment in its wealth of fantasy-based action, and the animation never fails to astonish. Picking up two years after an epic battle between the forces of good (represented by brooding soldier Cloud) and evil (Cloud’s former general, Sephiroth), FFVII opens in the devastated city of Midgard, whose youthful occupants suffer from a ghastly disease known as Geostigma. A trio of brothers arrives with what appears to be a cure for the plague, but their gesture conceals a more sinister purpose: to revive Sephiroth and bring about the end of the world. Cloud and his companions must once again rise to the occasion to stop the siblings and the revived Sephiroth from unleashing total destruction. Complex and self-referential to the point of occasional incomprehension, Final Fantasy VII will definitely be most appreciated by fans of the game series, but if others can look past the numbing dialogue and frenetic action (which is a bit too intense for very young children), the film offers a carefree and action-packed viewing experience. The two-disc set contains the original Japanese language version of the film as well as an English-dubbed edition (Rachel Leigh Cook and Christy Carlson Romano, among others, provide the vocal talent) and a version edited for the Venice Film Festival. A 30-minute featurette that recaps the Final Fantasy story up to VII, as well as a making-of documentary, deleted scenes, and promotions for future Final Fantasy VII games and products round out the extras. –Paul Gaita

I will never regret buying this epic movie! The graphics are insane and the story line just tells you what kind of company Square Enix is: An excellent company that spends several years creating intensely epic story lines that will not falter in years to come!
The product came in on time and the movie is great, I would have given it 5 stars if the box cover came in black like they advertised.
If any FF game is a true legend among legends its Final Fantasy VII … and Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children was a true epic movie sequel that surpassed everything related to FF overall, that includes that sorry excuse for a FF game that is FFXIII, i compare the original movie to FFXIII because XIII is more like a Movie overall then it is a game, poor gameplay, stupid characters and a lack of fun in general, however it does have pretty graphics and nice CGI effects worthy to be called “Movie-Like” and even still the original FFVII: AC movie blows FFXIII out of the water…
But with Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete with the extra footage as many others have stated, with new voices for some characters that fit better (Marlene, Denzel, Etc…) New lines added for a fair amount of characters, new actions, Reno & Rude play bigger roles this time around, so do the kids. Oh and Blu-Ray does make a big change to the original. the HD 1080p and Sound Effects are noticeable VASTLY improved over the original, to people who say Blu-ray makes little change compared to DVD are downright stupid or in denial of being biased against it.
Anyways overall Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete doesn’t only blow the original DVD versions out of the water, it blows EVERYTHING else FF related out of the freakin ocean!
It also contains a few tid-bits from the PSP exclusive game Crisis Core: FFVII! as an added bonus.
So overall with all these improvements the best FF title ever made just got better. With this, maybe square enix is still worthy after all.
