Profile of Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within

The mood of Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within is atmospheric, suspenseful, and exciting. The plot centers around a future dystopia, saving the world, and space and aliens. It is an independent, action, and adventure movie. In approach, it is fantastical and serious. Visually, it is computer animated. It is derived from a video game. It is especially suggested for a boys' night. Note that it includes mild violent content.

Summary of Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within

Directed by Hironobu Sakaguchi (who also created the best-selling series of video games that inspired the film), the groundbreaking FINAL FANTASY, which stars a startlingly lifelike cast of animated characters, is the first photo-realistic computer-generated feature film ever made. In the year 2065, Earth has been taken over by a race of alien phantoms and transformed into a barren wasteland sprinkled with dome-enclosed barrier cities--the last remaining bastions of human civilization. Dr. Aki Ross (voiced by actress Ming-Na) has teamed up with Captain Gray Edwards (Alec Baldwin) to search for the "eighth spirit," a powerful entity dwelling in an unknown life form somewhere on the planet. It holds the key to perfecting a system of energy waves that will neutralize the phantoms. Ross's opponent is the reckless General Hein (James Woods), who is determined to put a stop to the alien invasion by firing a satellite cannon directly into a nest of phantoms located deep within the Earth, even though this could mean obliterating the planet itself and all life upon it.

As computer game-derived features go, it sure beats "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider." Full Review

Wow. What a total waste. A HUGE problem with lack of ideas and character. I am one of the only people in the world who paid FULL PRICE see "Super Mario Brothers" in a theatre. Trust me: this was worse. Read and rate it
