Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV (2016)

A CGI movie set in the world of Square Enix's Final Fantasy XV (2016) video game. It supposedly runs parallel with game events, but it's designed to also be a self-contained story, so game knowledge shouldn't be a requirement. That's good, because I’ve not played it, nor have any desire to. Although, even if I had I'm confident that my response would be much the same.
It's the usual blend of magic and technology that we (FF fans) now take for granted as being the norm. So too is the cast of bland characters doing heroic things while a tedious political story tries but fails to be interesting.
The most surprising thing about it all is a non-story creative decision by the makers: the lip-syncing is for the English language version.
