FYI, a rip of it is now out, it's an xvid with seperate subtitles - while the main release of it I found had Japanese subs only, there is now a subtitle file out in English.
bien-xvid-ff7
Gonna watch it shortly, can't wait! ;D

Got it myself but waiting till the weekend to watch it so I can have several people over. It was friggin stupid to delay it two months here because now there's gonna be tons of bootlegs flying everywhere. We're not even supposed to get the extra ova series here and it's like 300 dollars to import it.

As long as Aerith stays dead and Cloud and Tifa get it on, I'll make sure to watch it.

I'm gonna get the DVD when it comes out (from what I have seen so far it's more than worth it!), but for the time being I couldn't resist getting the xvid, and also a version to watch on my PSP ;D. Admittedly though, because it's so long until it's out in the west officially, a lot of other people will simply download it and then not bother buying it, so they have kinda shot themselves in the foot. Oh well  Anyway. not had the chance to watch it yet, but as I'm off work for 5 days after todays shift finishes, I'll have plenty of time. I'm frustrated because I've beem waiting for this for a long time, and now I have it, it's been hard to find the time to see it!  Kaz

Watched it tonight with a friend... OH MY GOD! The storyline doesn't seem to be great, and perhaps that wasn't helped by the subtitles being a little lousy, but still... OH MY GOD. It looks absolutely stunning as you would expect, and action wise it's just awesome. I won't spoil anything for anyone, but let's just say when you get to about the 45 minute mark it's just a roller coaster of all out action for about 40 mins or more. Gonna watch it again asap, but I think I'll wait till a better subtitled version comes out. Grateful for the speedy sub of it though!  Kaz

eh?  So without action its crap, is that what you're saying... I just said after the 45 minute mark it's all action. I don't remember using the word crap... in fact sometimes I'd prefer storyline to action.  However in this case, the action is just so good for the second half that it keeps you gripped, while the first half (while it has action and is good, if a little hard to understand with these subs) is mostly setting stuff up. If I wanted to spoil it I could tell you that Aeris comes back to life, kills Cloud and marries Sephiroth, who has been resurrected by a magical materia called "omgijustruinedthemovie"... now that would be spoiling it ;D Kaz

It's awesome, Tifa and Loz is one of the better 1on1 battles though. But the part where they tossed Cloud up was kinda corny. lol

Just modified the post to add a spoiler tag for what you said, just in case someone who hasn't seen it reads it  Just watched it for a second time, loved it even more... I have to say that somehow it has beaten Sin City for my film of the year so far... perhaps that's my blatant FF fanboi-ism, but I just think the film is THAT good! ;D I actually liked that part you mentioned, thought it was kinda cool ;D Kaz

Just saw it. I don't think it hardly lives up to the hype it generated but it was still a lot of fun for me to watch. The ending also left me more satisfied then the game did.

Damn, this movie makes me wanna play the game. Just watched it last night and I love it. Well, I love Tifa's design there, to be exact. The action is fast-paced ,especially the bike fight. Cloud's bike is really cool.

Cloud's bike is really cool. Yeah I agree, I already started playing FF7 again since seeing the film... need to jog my memory anyway, cos it's been years since I last played it! Still hoping for a PS3 remake though, or even a PSP remake... As for hte movie, yeah of course it was overhyped, and considering the money Square obviously pumped into the visuals it was bound to be. However I can't fault the movie at all - I didn't expect the storyline to be stellar, I just wanted something to give me some closure from the game, and also to just entertain me... and with the spectacular action it certainly did that. Couple of my fave bits, disguised for people who haven't seen it yet: The ringtone joke... that cracked me up big time, when I heard it I just knew it had to be a mobile phone or something!  The way Cloud finished off Sephiroth was awesome... also the "I.... won't be just a memory" quote before he vanishes was cool I thought. Kaz
