I love creature movies and this movie did not disappoint! It was action-packed throughout most of it. The characters were memorable and there is some sad moments but overall it kept my interest. My only ding is Dan Forester (Pratt) is the exact same character as Owen (JP: Fallen Kingdom) and Star Lore (Guardians of the Galaxy). He needs to vary his acting into different characters.

Sad story of mental illness
5 December 2018
Warning: Spoilers
A very heart-wrenching story about one woman's struggle with mental illness and her family who had tried to help her. Very foolish of the judge for not granting her sister permission to be her legal health care agent. And incredibly ignorant and stupid of the mental health facility for releasing her without informing a family member. However, Linda was gone for 4 months and yet no one in her family called the mental health facility to see how she was doing, nor did they apparently visit her either. It is difficult on the families to see a loved one in that condition, but it seems Linda was left in that facility and forgotten, otherwise, she would still be here. I'm sure there are a lot of regrets!

If you want to see a movie with exceptional over-the-top, beautifully crafted computer animated characters and gravity defying fight scenes: FFVII: Advent Children is it!! The plot could have been explained a bit more thoroughly throughout the movie, but it does deliver the basics, which is enough to get an idea of the main idea. Questionably, the movie wanted us to believe that the 3 male villains are "young and violent," as described by Rufus Shinra speaking to Cloud, however, I thought the villains were very likeable and in some ways adorable. For example, Kadaj could have killed Reno and Rude when he broke in to speak to Mr. Shinra. Loz could have killed Tifa after he overpowered her. Yazoo and Loz could have hurt or even killed any of the children and Yazoo and Loz could have most likely killed Reno and Rude (using their gunblades) during their battle scene in Midgar. I'm NOT saying that I would have wanted any of those scenarios to actually happen, as I really liked all of the characters and I was glad no one was hurt. In another scene, during Kadaj's death, he is crying believing the voice he hears is "Mother" and that he finally found her. Oh yeah, such a badass villain there! But my point is, if you have villains, make them truly evil. In FFVII, the writers had the guts to kill off Areith by the villain Sephiroth. No matter how cool Sephiroth is, I despise him for this very reason. Overall, this movie is beautifully crafted, with loveable character (even the villains) and humorous at times. I hope at some point, these villains are brought back (hey, why not, it's anime after all) and used again for primary antagonist or even make them protagonist for another FFVII story. This movie is definitely worth seeing! For kids, watch the original FFVII: Advent Children. For older children/adults, watch the Complete version.
