Eh, I wasn't too impressed with the dub. I mean, it was tolerable and not bad at all (especially compared to some truly hideous dubs, like DBZ, but you can't get much worse than it, so that's not exactly saying much), but it still doesn't hold a candle to the original.


THAT'S WHY I HAVE BOTH VERSIONS.


Well, the DVD has both audio tracks, so...

And BrikHaus, I think this was a big improvement from Spirits Within. I mean, I haven't seen it in a while, but I know a lot of the backgrounds looked nearly photorealistic this time, and there were a lot of times the characters did too. Obviously, the less grounded in reality a character design is, the more obvious his/her nature beacame (ex. Tifa and Aerith looked extremely real, Cloud a bit less so, and Loz was much more obviously fake). I thought the story was pretty good... well, that is to say, the character story was really good. The "plot" story was more or less there to push the character story along. I'm not really a fan of dubs in general. I'd much prefer to watch any foreign film in its native language. Dubs are almost always inherently worse, simply because of the nature of the work.
