I think 'Final Fantasy: Advent Children' was a huge step in video movies. It is animated, or computer graphically animated; it's not live action. However, I think that it's really one of the better ones in the genre. It incorporates some great elements of the game, but it's still its own movie and it's beautiful. I also think that 'Silent Hill' had the look right. I think that other movies have captured the look or captured just one part of the game, but haven't actually been able to make that game into a really great movie. I think Final Fantasy Advent Children probably did it the best.
