| MovieMartyr.comJeremy HeilmanSo gorgeous, so able to transport the viewer, that normal sticking points like clichéd plot and hackneyed dialogue don't much matter. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonBy the movie's end, I was too busy sniggering at the horrible lines ... to enjoy the visuals. |
| Decent Films GuideSteven D. GreydanusThe heroes, though eye-poppingly rendered, remain emotionally as one-dimensional as any computer-game avatar. |
| VarietyTodd McCarthyThis bigscreen adaptation of the long-popular interactive computer game is visually impressive if not dramatically cool, and is marked by "acting" that is no worse than that found in the majority of sci-fi films. |
| Film Quips OnlineJohn R. McEwenA delight, rising well above the standard animated action formula. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThe 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. |
| Internet ReviewsSteve RhodesOlder kids and adults ... will feel rewarded and blessed to have seen something so intriguing. |
| Atlanta Journal-ConstitutionSteve MurrayGreat animation, third-rate plot, but it still appeals to the geek within. |
| TheFilmFile.comDustin PutmanA gorgeous, surprisingly meditative look at the beauty of life and the mysteries of death. |
| Cinemaphile.orgDavid Keyes...has the visionary scope of '2001: A Space Odyssey,' and a story so smart and compelling that it had me grinding my teeth. |
