Maybe if you would have read the whole post you wouldn't be so jumpy :P. I really enjoyed the movie, a lot, and even if the movie would have been crap, i'd still have enjoyed it because at the bottom line: It's Final Fantasy, and as far as i'm concerned, i'm a fan (like everyone here is). As for my comment about AC not beeing realistic, i was just answering Shoden, but as i already stated, maybe you would have gotten to that conclussion if you would have read the entire post.

Lastly, as far as the endings of AC and FFVIII being similar its called good cinematography deal with it.
Well, maybe there's more behind it rather than just "good cinematography", I'm not picking on it, I'm just asking for an opinion and really now, have you ever pondered, at least for a moment, that there's something special beneath the "courtain" of the game ? You think Ultimecia represents evil ? Well ...yes... she does of course, but it's more than that... Ultimecia simbolizes time, deeds, memories, tears and broken ideals. She is the last border one would face, and still, she is the first one as well. She is out of nothing, she is deep but never sad, always smiling although never moving her cheek. She is your worst nightmare and still a simple figurant next to the ideal of life. Sorry for the off-topic, and sorry for getting myself drawn into FF VIII. Of course this has nothing to do with AC's ending, but maybe it's something just as deep as Ultimecia's character is.
