But I would argue, also pretty on the inside. While I'm not a Final Fantasy fan or someone who has played the games, I can say that I was more than entertained watching this. As far as friends are concerned who are more into this, they said there are a few things fans might pick up, but since this is a new story, a new tale, it's not something you have to have great knowledge of.

The visuals are more than stunning too and the story is told in a fashion that leaves no one behind. Sometimes that can be a "flaw" for some, watching an animated movie that just is all over the place. This is easier that way. Still a lot of action, a lot of suspense and a really good build up. And for those interested, there is a stinger after the credits which probably has something to do with the game of the same name ...

I have always enjoyed the "Final Fantasy" CGI animated movies, especially because they are so amazingly nicely made. And "Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV" doesn't shy away from the traditional style, it actually enhances it.

Storywise, then I will say that "Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV" was a bit of a scrambled mess. It was as if director Takeshi Nozue set out to want to accomplish more than he could muster to deliver. With that being said, I am not saying that this is a bad movie, not at all. It just had certain parts to it which didn't really make much sense, or things that seemed were just crammed into the movie for the sake of being there.

As with the previous "Final Fantasy" movies, then I am simply astounded by the sheer level of details that they manage to show in the movie. There are so many great details and the textures of the CGI is just unfathomably impressive.

For me, this was a movie driven by the CGI and the animation, because it was pure eye candy from start to end. And I sincerely hope that we get to see more movies with this level of CGI animation in the future. I didn't really care much for the story, given its inability to really captivate me. As I didn't really care much for the story, then it was the action and the animation that became the driving force of the movie for me. And it worked quite nicely, and the movie didn't really become a slow-paced drag at any time.

As for the voice acting, well they did have a good ensemble of actors and actresses adding voices to the various animated characters. And people were doing good jobs, which was essential to the overall enjoyment of "Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV".

"Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV" is a well-worthy addition to the "Final Fantasy" franchise and it is definitely worth a place right next to the other movies set in the same universe.

Forget the critics...It's a must watch anime..specially Final fantasy lover... Really amazing movie
