Instead of trying to adapt the video game experience into a film format, Kingsglaive transforms the movie-going experience into something familiar to video game fans. It's essentially a really long cutscene.
Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV

Takeshi Nozue
Overview
The magical kingdom of Lucis is home to the world’s last remaining Crystal, and the menacing empire of Niflheim is determined to steal it. King Regis of Lucis commands an elite force of soldiers called the Kingsglaive. Wielding their king’s magic, they fight to protect Lucis. As the overwhelming military might of the empire bears down, King Regis is faced with an impossible ultimatum – to marry his son, Prince Noctis to Princess Lunafreya of Tenebrae, captive of Niflheim, and surrender his lands to Niflheim rule. Although the king concedes, it becomes clear that the empire will stop at nothing to achieve their devious goals, with only the Kingsglaive standing between them and world domination.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
There's a very real possibility that watching "Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV" could result in brain addlement.
The film's convoluted plot and dense mythology ... may leave even "Final Fantasy" devotees scratching their heads.
The narrative content of "Kingsglaive" is a barely coherent muddle.
Kingsglaive won't set the world on fire, but it might just be the best movie that bears the Final Fantasy name. That's not a high bar, but it's an accomplishment.
