I remember seeing this film once when I was a child - basically it was unknown, but I remember that in the promotion, CG characters could replace real actors and other gimmicks.

It must be said that this is a realist picture that is placed on a story that is a bit mentally retarded - although the plot is not mentally retarded, but the details are set too many bugs and clichés (such as the performance of the characters), it must be said that this affects the box office An important aspect: Just like the animation of Atlantis, the combination of the plot and the picture makes it more or less "incomparable" - adults disdain children for understanding.

If people's reactions to this movie are completely opposite, maybe its shortcomings will become advantages, at least not magnified. In fact, people The evaluation of Final Fantasy is completely unfair)

However, like Atlantis and Frozen Planet (Titan AE), which are forgotten by many people, this is a milestone that spans movies, games, and the entire CG industry. work.
On the other hand, looking at that year today, even Final Fantasy’s biggest asset—the picture—seems crude and primitive. But this just proves the leap (incredibly fast!) of CG technology in the past ten years!

Of course, some people who don't like this type of movie will be involved in the uncanny valley effect. Maybe it is because of this that Cameron is very careful to avoid this stalk on Avatar.

    The top-level picture effects 11 years ago also look good today. The plot is richer than expected, but there is almost no characterization at all. 6 points.
