a5c7b9f00b Set after the events of Final Fantasy VII, our heroes go back to trying to livenormal a lifepossible after everything they have gone through. The title "On the Way to a Smile: Final Fantasy VII" already gives away that here we have a little movie that runs for slightly under half an hour and takes place in the universe of Final Fantasy, one of the most successful video game franchises of all time. So it is no surprise it got its fair share of filmswell. According to IMDb, this is an English-language film we have here, but the version i watched was in Japanese (with English subs) and it looked very original to me, so maybe a wrong piece of information we have here. The reason may be the name of director Joseph knight, who apparently has not worked on any other film during this career. The writer, Kazushige Nojima, however, is highly prolific and experience pays off because the story here is very much worth watching. I think for everybody who doesn't hate anime, this is a good watch. But those who do will probably never come across this title here anyway, let alone read my review. People who like Final Fantasy, maybe even some of the other Final Fantasy films may really want to check it out. I would almost call it a must-see for them. It's a pretty strong achievement that I (somebody who really has no connection to FF whatsoever) enjoyed it. Thumbs up. Go see it.
