Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children [dvd]

So I picked up the new Final Fantasy movie... Funny thing with me and those games, I don't like playing them that much- too much time spent with menus, and planning out how to spec witch weapon, etc... But I like watching the cinematics, because those are the reward for getting through all the game play parts. haha. I'm substantially oversimplifying here, of course. So, I did play about half of FF7, and I understand why it's such a big deal, so I picked up the DVD, also because Phil was hanging out tonight anyway. Luckily, there was a little refresher on the DVD that recapped the story from the game, because the movie assumes you know most of what's going on. Not that it's terrible if you don't- the flick is beautiful, and the action is great. It's really what "Spirits Within" should have been.
I should get Phil to comment on this, cause he's way more into it than me.
