How are you liking the glorified cell phone ad set to the FF7 world?

They were like damn the story of ff7 is pretty confusing, lets make a movie that explains nothing and convolutes everything ten times more and then forever ignore it!

Don't ever watch Advent Children for the plot; watch it for the anime guys swinging big swords around at each other. The plot is an excuse to get to the fight scenes, which is basically the only reason to watch the movie.

This is anime all right

I think this was my first venture into FF7, so it's nice to remember some of the clips I've seen 15~ years later

Like I said, glorified cell phone ad - for that particular model when it came out in Japan.

Finished the movie. I enjoyed it. I watched the Complete Version so the final fight was a little different than I remember.

Advent Children One Winged Angel is still the best remix ever. Borderline perfect

I've never heard a rendition of One Winged Angel I like better than that one.

That said, I think one of the FF7 Remake versions of the Boss theme ("Airbuster") manages to be an even better remake. That song is absolutely nuts.

Ehh, it's not that bad. It's about on par with when the Matrix movies shoehorned phone product placement in. Yes, it's there, and yes, it's obvious, but there's slightly more to it than just that.

I mean, sure, the plot is borderline incomprehensible, but it does feel like at least one person involved in the production had some aspirations towards art over marketing. It's just kind of failing to be what it's trying to be.

Which, ironically, is something else that ties it to The Matrix - and more specifically, the Animatrix (which Square also was part of).

The Complete version does a better job explaining things, and has a much more satisfying climax.

It also includes a couple of shorts that were originally Japan-only novella-type things
