So, two new animated movies are coming out, one of them is Final Fantasy, and the other one is Atlantas.
And boys and girls, THEY'RE ALL FREAKING RIP-OFFS!
The story line of Atlantas and the "technology" even the frikin' characters are rip-offs from the anime series "Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water" done by Gainex years ago!! Talk about copy cating to the extreme!!
And Final Fantasy? From the look of it, a bit of rip off from Star Ship Trooper movie and the cartoon. Although probably not as big a rip off as Atlantas.

With regards to Final Fantasy; When are movie companies gonna relize that movies based on board/video games always suck?! Think about it.
Clue: Sucked Street Fighter: Sucked hard Double Dragon: Sucked even harder Mario Brothers: God! Don't remind me! Dungeons and Dragons: *cough* shit *cough* Mortal Kombat: That reminds me! I have yet to bomb the movie studio that did that movie!
There are probably more that I simply didn't even think of yet. Judging by current trends both Final Fantasy, and Tomb Raider will probably suck major balls. Sorry. I went way off topis here....

I dunno...I rather enjoyed "Clue." But then I have a thing for camp.
Yes, the whole "Atlantis versus Nadia" thing has been done to death in the online anime community. It's far less of a ripoff than "Lion King," however....because both "Atlantis" & "Nadia" are based on "20,000 Leagues Under The Sea."
As for "Final Fantasy"...well, I was never into those games. My roommate is spudging his pants over it & I'm sure he'll be there opening day for it. I'll be in Atlanta being romantic. Good deal.

Actually, I like the movie Clue quite bit. But I really want to see Zero Wing: All Your Base.
And, MIB, I think you forgot Wing Commander.

WING COMMANDER!! That was it!! I knew I was forgeting at least one! Thanks. And ummm. Why did I say Clue sucked? Because it didn't really. It was probably the ONLY exception in the 'movies based on games allways suck' rule. It almost 3:30 AM here. Lack of sleep is starting to get to me. LOL.

It's getting a bit off topic but just to point this out:
Final Fantasy the movie will pretty much have nothing to do with the games itselves.

If any one of you plan on checking out new Manga or Anime, check this one out first:
Jojo no Kimyou na Bouken (Jojo's Bizarre Adventure)
It will pretty soon become the longest running Manga series in Japan. It's been out since 1987, and still kicking ass!

http://www.finalfantasy.com/ 'Final Fanatsy' has nothing to do with the videogames. The movie looks very cool, although I haven't got a clue what it is about

The Final Fantasy games haven't got anything to do with each other.
Is it being done by a US company? Or a Japanese company? Cause, if memory serves, all those other game to film things, even those based on Japanese games (like Streetfighter), were all done by US movie companies.

I am a member of those 10% of the population that notices these stupid things, but anyhow...
In the trailer for "Final Fantasy" the blaster sounds from the laser weapons of the enemy drones where the exact same sound of the plasma rifles in the beginning of "Terminator II". I guess it's in the movie as well, not that it's a big deal.
I have kind of photographic hearing so these idiotic facts stick on me like fly paper. It can be a pain in the ass, but I've grown to understand that most people don't give a darse so I try not to tell anyone.

If you ignore that they're supposed to be based on video games, Super Mario Bros. and Street Fighter were pretty good, I think.

Certain sound effects seem to be in the public domain. Some of it's obvious, such as cartoons doing Trek spoofs having the original series bridge background noise playing (and phasers). There is more obscure stuff though. Laserbeak in Transformers regularly did a good impression of a TIE fighter, for example.
