An absolute breath taking animation, giving attention to every minute details. Perhaps this movie brought a new age to animation. Like others wont be disappointed by the movie budget and earnings. As this movie is definitely one of the best animations ever produced. Though if proper marketing would have done then it would have grossed more.

Okay, I'll admit, the story was boring, & the people looked stiff despite the motion capture technology.
But still, at the time of it's release, the visuals were really something to behold. For me, this was a major stepping stone that would eventually lead to some of the most high tech images we are seeng the screen today."

In reviewing a movie like this, I am torn between its craft elements and its story. The story is nuts-and-bolts space opera, without the intelligence and daring of, say, Steven Spielberg's ''A.I.'' But the look of the film is revolutionary. ''Final Fantasy'' is a technical milestone, like the first talkies or 3-D movies. You want to see it whether you care about aliens or space cannons. It exists in a category of its own, the first citizen of the new world of cyberfilm.
Ebert's rating: 3.5/4"

Heti Iron Skyn jälkeen lisää scifiä tällä kertaa animaation muodossa. FF -fanina oli ehkä jonkinlaiset odotukset ennen katsomista, mutta ihan hienon visuaalisen ilmeen ohella tämä ei pystynyt tarjoamaan mitään että tästä olisin erityisemmin pitänyt. Muuten tarjolla on lähinnä kliseistä scifimeininkiä, ja etenkin henkilöhahmot sekä juoni ei onnistu oikein missään kohtaa kiinnostamaan kunnolla. "
"Why It’ll Never Be Remade: One of the most disconcerting elements of this videogame-inspired clunker was the eerily dead-eyed CGI, which made even the heroes appear frightening. With today’s technological advances, that could probably be remedied quite easily! It’s the tedious plot and non-existent characterisation that means it never will be…
If They Have To Do It: Bung it in as a DVD extra with the next Final Fantasy videogame and spare us the bother of having to write about it!"

Note: Another movie based on a popular video game franchise that hopes to start a major movie franchise. The movie was a huge box office failure which made Square Pictures go bankrupted. I thought the movie was crap and I'm glad that no sequels was made. "

Kokonaan tietokoneella toteutettu ja realismiin pyrkivä pelielokuva. Nähty joskus kypsässä kolmentoista vuoden iässä leffateatterissa. Eli olen yksi niistä idiooteista, jotka tälle lahjoittivat rahaakin. Voin muuten kertoa sellaisen jutun tässä, että leffa tuntui juuri siltä kuin oletinkin. Kuin siis katselisi pitkää Final Fantasy kasin välianimaatiota. Ja kasin siksi, että se on paska peli ja ylivakavalta tunnelmaltaan hyvin samanlainen kuin tämä ribu"

"This was a huge let down to me when I was a kid since I remember waiting for a Final Fantasy movie growing up. This movie really let me down since I remember it had nothing to do with Final Fantasy. It had some plot with Aliens and the whole film was nearly done in CG. They should have waited in another 10+ years since this movie predates Avatar by 8 years. "
