I mostly nominated it because Max from the video game Life is Strange thinks its one of the best sci-fi films ever made

Yup, she's got a valid opinion there, from the technical viewpoint of how it's gorgeous and engaging to watch. Life Is Strange is awesome too, of course. Well... the first one and its prequel, anyway. Haven't played True Colors yet, but LIS2 sucked.

It really was a technical marvel when it came out, and one bit of the ending managed to stick with me all these years when the main guy says he finally believes, right before sacrificing himself. It wasn't super amazing or anything, but I think it gets too much flak just because people blame it for killing the old Square.

That was the best part of the ending. Can see why it stuck with you! And you're probably right that it gets flak because it flopped and took parts of Square down with it, and those people weren't fond of the Square/Enix merger. This doesn't change that it's a technical marvel and I really think it should've 100% been the visual baseline for sci-fi movies until Avatar came out. I can't think of anything else that compares from a visual/technical standpoint. But sadly, since this one failed financially... (I'm surprised nobody else gave this model a chance for a non-Final Fantasy movie tbh). Thanks for nominating it btw!

I do plan on watching one more tomorrow (today now, technically). Wanna try to get 5 in this week, as well as finishing Zestiria so that project can be done with. Which means I should be able to watch more regularly too since I won't be recapping any game-playing.
