As far as cinematic's, 'Blur' Studios owns everyone.
Remember, great cinematics does not a great movie make. Remember, back when Squaresoft was riding high on its Final Fantasy Series, with insanely beautiful cinematics. So much so, that they decided to make a movie...'Final Fantasy: th spirits within"
It was a beautifully rendered disaster...They'd been spending years writing stories where the viewer has over 50 hours to do character exposition, story, etc....now they had to do it in less than 2 hours. Horrible dialog, Sotry wasn't bad, but it was just done all wrong.
Now, if someone else with an excellent track-record for great movies, etc went to them and asked them to simply render them a movie....it probably would have a great flick!
Oh come on, FF the spirits within you can say exact same about Avatar. Both movies top CG for their time but not "great" movies. Atleast spirits within had a more unique story. Funny didn't they both have some kinda spirit tree?
Also Blur studio has that fairy tale look unlike FF"spirits within or Avatar.

Name one really top of the charts movie based from a video game.
One really bad example is Wing Commander, really cool cutscenes for a GAME but as a movie, wow, worst crap of the last century (or whever the movie was released..)
Resident Evil did good. Do I win a cookie?!
All their movies gross over 100million

What a horrible Comparison.
"Spirits within" nearly broke Squaresoft...hardly what I would call successful. Visually, it was amazing for the time.. It simply wasn't enough. Without a solid story and characters you can care about, why bother watching it?
Now you are comparing that to 'Avatar' what is probably the highest grossing movie of all time? :-)

Hahaha... I see what ya did there.
Pretty much Blizzard has built that whole company on the back of somebody elses ideas. Just look back to the late 80's early 90's.

Blizzards CG team is indeed the best in the biz.. The WC3 cinematics are still incredible.
Didnt Square try to make a movie.
How did that turn out, lol

FF spirit withen was big flop
but ff7 advent children had decent success
my punches are as strong as kicks
I know FF was a flop and Adv Children can hardly classified as a movie, short film maybe.
