The Zeus Cannon being fired over and over again and making the problem worse until the Zeus Cannon blew itself up is a perfect metaphor for a lot of US policies. 
It had some problems but it swung for the fences and you gotta respect that.
Unfortunately, I believe the huge loss caused Hironobu Sakaguchi to resign, and FF was never the same after that.
never seen or even heard of this movie, but I have an affinity for CGI that's not quite there yet so I'll probably check it out
also, lmao:
[Aki] appeared dressed in the bikini on the cover of Maxim, and was ranked by the magazine and its readers as one of the sexiest women of 2001, placing at No. 87 out of 100 and becoming the first fictional woman to ever make the list
Incredibly boring:
It was never bad, it just cost too much to make and was a massive finacial disaster for the company. They put a ton of money into promoting it too. It would have had to be the greatest movie ever made to live up to the hype.
I think they had teally unrealistic expectations for its success. Like we remember the Aki magazine covers and the swimsuit spreads, but what was actually interesting is that the company was promoting Aki not as a character, but as an actress. They wanted to put her in other movies and have her do promotions etc. Which makes sense that they wanted to lay the ground work to reuse assets for sequels or ither gilms that could possibly make a profit
Is this Repo: The Genetic Opera
They made Advent Children 10 years too late. At the time VII was super hot and it would have been a no-brainer for their first movie to be a sequel to their most popular game.
this film was my first "video game movies have fuck all to do with the games" experience. I remember my friend and i watched it when we were in elementary school and were like "tf did this have to do with final fantasy? lol

My reaction too. I was like 12 and had Cloud on my brain and that's what I wanted to see in a Final Fantasy movie.
They could have played it safe and did a movie adaptation of 1 too, the warriors of light and restoring the crystals. They took a major risk on this film and sadly it bombed.
I think I had player VIII at the time, but yeah. I was expecting a sword wielding protagonist, a love interest, lovable goofy friend, a bunch of cool summons. It was like a pretty neat scifi movie, but they definitely shouldn't have used the FF branding
tf did this have to do with final fantasy?
That's basically every installment in the Final Fantasy series, though. By making no goddamned sense in the context of the broader series, it actually fits in. FF is goofy like that.
Eh but up to that point there was at least some common elements that the film didn’t have.
Also I was like 8 lol but I wanted to see some chocobos ans shit
I kind of went through this while playing FF3US after playing FF2US. "Oh hey, it's a guy named Cid! Wait, why doesn't he have a bushy beard and a big-ass hammer? And why is he wearing a Devo suit?" Unrelated, but SNES Mode 7 scaler chocobo riding was hilarious.
Nokia and Motorola should have duked it out to see who would get to have the victory fanfare song as a default ringtone option.
I actually never finished advent children because i found it really boring. Which happens to be the opinion people have of this movie which as a kid i would watch on loop without even blinking. I have superior taste is why
This is spirits within, right?
What movie is this?
Final fantasy the spirit within or something pretty close
all movies are terrible and I’m the only correct opinion haver on this matter.
Me watching Spirits Within 
It's very pretty. It was definitely watchable. Major achievement in CGI at the time.
At the time the character graphics were really good. But the scenarios and backgrounds look like huge pngs from some PS1 game.
Yeah, you're describing Final Fantasy.
Inshallah people will see this is pretty good for its time despite not being too FF looking. Better than fucking Advent Children
It was fine. Kinda boring.
Final fantasy the spirits within?
I think about this movie a lot but I haven’t seen it in twenty years.
I too think about it a lot but i have watched it recently
The ghosties scared me as an 9 year old.
