Of course, the film remains a polarizing collage. Its plot can feel oblique, sometimes subsumed by spectacle; the emotional through-line relies on prior investment in Final Fantasy VII’s universe. But as an expression of visual and auditory excess—an elegy that happens to wield dazzling action set pieces—it is uniquely affecting. The BD9-sourced 1080p MKV presentation emphasizes that quality: it preserves textures, color depth, and motion fidelity that make the film’s aesthetic intentions obvious and immersive.
