IMDb 7.1 RT 50%

Skip it tonight unless you're a hardcore FF7 completist. The visuals are stunning for 2005, but a 50% RT score isn't wrong—the plot is convoluted and the dialogue drags. Your time's better spent elsewhere.

Plot

Two years have passed since the final battle with Sephiroth. Though Midgar, city of mako, city of prosperity, has been reduced to ruins, its people slowly but steadily walk the road to reconstruction. However, a mysterious illness called Geostigma torments them. With no cure in sight, it brings death to the afflicted, one after another, robbing the people of their fledgling hope.
