The film is great, amazing graphics, amazing actor rendering, amazing everything except a decent story for anyone that is not going to play the FFXV game.

I would really give it a 10 however they just left it open for the game (hence the video at the end of the credits), quite a few questions unanswered too (for example what were the demons, how were they summoned, where did they come from?). I had no idea what was happening half the time, why were they fighting, why were some characters so important. All I can say about this film is that it is a introduction to the FFXV game, if you don't own a PS4 or an Xbox One are a gamer or have no intention of purchasing FFXV then this will be just a mediocre very nice polished CGI.

I have no intention in buying the game and I feel duped, like a marketing ploy. I won't be buying a console and the game just because of a movie.

I think by making the movie an introduction to the game they are alienating anyone not playing the games (at least previous movies were stand alones). The only thing I can suggest is to start reading more on Wiki and once the game is out hunt around on Youtube to see all videos from the game to understand the story better. Obviously this is what I will be doing as they left me wanting more. I wish they would make a sequel once the game has been out to tie things together.

By all means, watch it, it is well worth it for the animation, amazing, however bear in mind that it is just an introduction to the FFXV game. If you are someone that has played the previous FF installments, loves the FF universe, pre-ordered and is looking forward to the new FFXV game then this is exactly for you and I highly recommend it. For everyone else...

This movie was a waste of time can't believe i've spent the first 2hours of 2018 watching this ...

Terminally dull and empty headed movie full of plot holes, bad acting, bad writing and poor pacing that adds practically nothing to a terminally dull and empty headed game full of plot holes, bad acting, bad writing and poor pacing. Skip this piece of trash! Squeezing a lime into an open wound is preferable to watching this movie! You may actually lose brain cells watching this stupid piece of filth.

So much going on, that you can't tell what's going on.

Poor audio mixing, soso cgi, extremely boring story, with an ending that makes you mad you wasted the time watching it.

Terrible horrible pointless and dumb. Had a few cool opening moments. The rest of the movie was ridiculously boring. And some terrible action with nothing in the ending to make up for the terrible movie. The animation looks great and overall it looks very good. Except for the lack of emotions in their faces and the horrible lip syncing. I left about 10 minutes early because it couldn't take it anymore (1 viewing)
