Synopsis

For years, the Niflheim Empire and the kingdom of Lucis have been at war. The empire, having dominated most of the world of Eos, covets the power of the last known Crystal, which is held in Lucis' capital city, Insomnia.

In order to protect his people from these advancing forces, King Regis Lucis Caelum CXIII used the power of the Crystal to surround Insomnia with a magical wall. Along with this barrier, Regis assembled an elite military task force known as the Kingsglaive. By drawing their power from the king, the Kingsglaive protect Lucis' borders from the onslaught of the empire and other forces that would do them harm.

One such member of the Kingsglaive is Nyx, a man nicknamed "The Hero" by his fellow warriors due to his arrogance and desire to save everyone. However, his pride gets the better of him, causing him to disobey his captain's orders, resulting in a demotion. Now, Nyx spends his days guarding the city gates, but things begin to change once word gets out that Regis plans to sign a peace treaty with their sworn enemies.

This movie holds up really well both in terms of visuals and story. Nyx and Luna, and sometimes King Regis carry the movie in terms of character, as the others all come off as pretty cliche and just sort of pawns to the whole thing. There are some missteps and missed opportunities, particularly in how the film squanders some of its promising characters, but overall this film works as a big hype up to 15 so much that it made me hate 15. I was expecting way more than what we got. Sure, I haven't played 15 since it has ben bandaided by DLCs, but ...

Mixed Feelings
(Review originally posted on Letterboxd)

This movie tried really, really hard to be something special, something more than a tie-in prologue to a video game, and it got fairly close, but its execution was unfortunately not as good as its ambition.

This movie, essentially the Rogue One to the recent video game Final Fantasy XV, is the story of some guardsmen as they deal with the impending collapse of their kingdom after a really long war. The movie opens with a fairly incomprehensible opening monologue and throws us right into the action with pretty much no explanation afterwards. Anyone who complained about Warcraft being hard to follow ...

A pretty, skippable, and forgettable movie. Knowing this move through a friend's recommendation and upon watching it I realized I must have watched it before, but not really a "re-watch" cuz I have zero memory about the plots which upon my 'second' watch yes they are very mediocre and very forgeable. The writing is not good but not offensive enough to be bad which means there is literally nothing memorable, right after my 'second' watch (now) the only name that I can recall is 'lucifer' which I believe is the name of the city where the movie has taken place (no need to correct me ...
