United States | Chicago Sun-Times | "It's like you're witnessing a Heavy Metal story come to life (...) Final Fantasy'' is a technical milestone, like the first talkies or 3-D movies (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)" | POS |
United Kingdom | Empire | "If the quality of the writing had matched the artistry of the animation it would border on masterpiece (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)" | POS |
United States | Austin Chronicle | "Unlike anything you've ever seen before, Final Fantasy is, finally, one for the history books (...) It makes Lara Croft look like an old maid." | POS |
United States | New York Post | "What makes Final Fantasy a final failure is a predictable, nonsensical plot" | NEG |
United States | USA Today | "[It] is a visual marvel. But moviegoers accustomed to Hollywood action probably won't find this contemplative adventure so appealing (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)" | POS |
United States | Chicago Tribune | "Isn't likely to satisfy the gamers' appetite for action. It also probably isn't heady enough for the science-fiction crowd, and it's too remote for those who simply wish to be immersed in a head-spinning fantasy world." | NEG |
