Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete

I remember waiting in anticipation as I waited for Advent Children to release in the US a few years ago. When I finally had a chance to watch it, I was extremely happy. The Universe of Final Fantasy VII is one that many gamers in the US cherish and love to revisit. That said, over the past 2 years, the DVD hasn't aged all that well. When watching the DVD on a Blu-Ray player that upscales, the picture is noticeably fuzzy. However, I was once again happy when I heard that there would be a Blu-Ray release of Advent Children that hopefully would satiate my desire for a higher-res version of this fantastic movie. Picture - 9 Oh the glory of Blu-Ray. The images during Advent Children are fantastic. The texture of the fabrics and the crispness of the vistas visited during the movie, even during quick-moving sequences, look incredible. There really isn't a better example of a realistically animated move that I have come across. And in the Blu-Ray version, the visuals are made even better by adding things that wouldn't originally fit on the DVD copy. Now the world looks even more realistic with dirty children and items and clothing that gradually become more and more worn and deteriorated throughout the film. Sound - 8 Well, it's honestly about the same. The voice acting is fantastic, though I insist on only watching the film with subtitles, since I can't stand English dubbing. However, for those familiar with the franchise, there are some great variations on some of the main FFVII themes that many will enjoy. Don't assume that since the sound hasn't changed that it is bad. It was great to begin with, and still is. Blu-Ray -9 Ah, what a good Blu-Ray. I have to say that I am delighted to see that Sony has decided to implement the idea of the onscreen menu. So many Blu-Rays hurt themselves by not including this feature. Being able to pull up the menu while watching the movie at the same time is a little feature that goes a long way. There are several inclusions on this disc that make it fun. For those who are interested, there is a nice expose about Final Fantasy XIII that comes along with the Blu-Ray that provides a nice intro to the upcoming game. There is also a short animated film about Denzel that some might find interesting, though it is probably one of the weaker elements on the Blu-Ray. Deleted Footage - 10 I gave this facet of the release it's own section because in all honesty, most of the people who re-buy the movie on Blu-Ray are purchasing it for this reason, and also because the deleted footage goes a long way in making Advent Children much more accessible to those who aren't familiar with the Final Fantasy VII universe. I've longed to show Advent Children to family and friends to showcase the incredible animation and motion-capturing that went into this movie, but found that when they attempted to watch the film, they were confused and left in the dark about the storyline. I eventually stopped trying to show the film to those unfamiliar with the franchise, because the movie doesn't offer much explanation as to who the characters are, what the backstory is, etc. However, the additional 26 minutes included in Advent Children bridges the gap between a fan film and a feature film that most people can enjoy. Much more is explained, and the overall experience, though a few minutes longer, feels much better overall and more thorough. Final Thoughts If you have never seen Advent Children and are interested in either the Final Fantasy VII universe, or you are simply interested in some of the best realistic-looking animation yet to hit film, Advent Children will be right up your alley. This film provides not only an amazing update to an already great production, but now also presents a complete film to the public that is no longer limited to a niche audience.

I remember back when I was eight years old in Elementary school when I played Final Fantasy VII with my brother continuously, yet never could get quite attach to the ending which I felt ended rather abrupt for the characters. Ironically seven years later creator Tetsuya Nomura and the Square Enix team create a beautiful CGI animated film sequel. This thrilled me because I've always wanted an appropriate conclusion to the story of these wonderful characters. The story follows Cloud Strife and his team in an epic struggle to keep the world cleansed of his arch-nemesis, the evil SOLDIER Sephiroth as he comes to terms with the deaths of his friend Zack and love, Aeris. The film has fantastic detail and texture of the people and the city, Midgar's new town called "Edge" where the characters and the people take refuge. This includes Cloud's long time friends and fellow allies: Barrett Wallace, Cid Highwind, Tifa lockheart, Vincent Valentine, Cait Sith, and Red XIII who are all back in full prime. The main villain of the story is still Sephiroth, instead taking the forms of young remnants Kadaj, Loz, Yahzoo and a fatal disease known as, "Geostigma" that affects a person's nervous system. Cloud is infected with the disease along with the children, Denzel and Marlena giving him a reason to investigate the abnormality left by the demise of his adversary. Cloud has been haunted for two years since he defeated Sephiroth and his birth source Jenova, a memory that has driven him away from the people he loves. Memories of Aeris dying from Sephiroth and Jenova and the death of Zack have rendered Cloud in a state of failure in finding a cure for the disease that threatens to kill the children and himself. His confrontation with Kadaj, seeking Jenova's head in order to revive the last trace of Sephiroth, thrusts Cloud back into his original mission. With Cloud's determination to be forgiven and to take up the sword once more with his friends, Cloud is determined to save the planet and the children he cares for from potential genocide. The Complete Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children is the definite film and a wonderful conclusion to the FFVII story. A spectacular piece of animation and visual effects combined with the enhanced score composed by the game's original composer. A film that uses its beautiful effects to bring powerful emotion to the viewer. The footage of the final battle, climax, and end credits have been restored with awesome additions that bring the story to an excellent finish that the characters in FFVII deserved for seven years of good memories.

他のレビューに書かれてあるような白黒だとか色の薄さとかは無いですね。 おそらく、再生機器の問題か、HDRの設定がうまくいっていないだけかと。 とにかく高精細、かつ、鮮やかです。 服の生地、手の血管など、驚きの映像です。 十数年経って、ようやく本物のACを見れました。 こちらは国内版よりはるかに安いのでオススメですが、日本語の文字が出る場面では、英語の字幕が付きます。 いろいろ設定をいじっていますが、今のところ消せていないです。
