Humanity has been decimated by an invasion of Phantoms, insubstantial aliens that extract and devour the spirits of living things. The few remaining humans have retreated to a handful of cities that are protected by massive bio-energy shields. The beautiful Dr. Aki Ross (voiced by Ming-Na) and her mentor Dr. Sid (Donald Sutherland) have discovered that the energy signatures of eight key Earth spirits can cancel out and destroy the Phantoms. With the help of Captain Edwards (Alec Baldwin) and his band of marines, they must scour the globe for the last two remaining spirits before General Hein (James Woods) manipulates the refugee government into attacking the aliens with an orbital laser that may also destroy the Earth. Hironobu Sakaguchi's film is taken from the popular Final Fantasy video game franchise, which is particularly well suited to film adaptation with its series of original stories, but the movie features entirely new characters and settings. And like Toy Story and Shrek, Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within is completely computer generated. Unlike those cartoon comedies, though, The Spirits Within is a serious science fiction drama with astonishingly human digital actors. Aki, the female lead, appeared in a full-page spread in Maxim magazine's Hot 100 list--and was indistinguishable from the real-life models. The setting and conflict make for incredible action, but it's the larger issues, character interaction, and human elements that really make the movie shine. The Spirits Within is not simply a science fiction movie, in the same way that Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is not simply a kung fu flick. The result is a fantastic summer movie with better action and more emotion than Pearl Harbor, and actors more lifelike than those in that other video game movie, Tomb Raider. --Mike Fehlauer Final Fantasy - The Spirits Within [Blu-ray] Customer Reviews   1     2     3   ♥♥♥♥♥ Agreeably underrated... I played the final fantasy games when I was younger and to be honest... that really didn't matter. Yes the name is misleading for fans of the games but this was still good stuff on its own. The story was fine. I'm not sure why people said it sucked? The spirits of a dead alien race are looking for peace and the planet people live on has the means to create it... how is that not a compellingly original story? The story telling was good. You could easily see the value in the bonds that were created between the characters. There was a love story element... This was good stuff... Unfortunately the voice acting was not so hot. But it wasn't horrible. All and all this is a Visually Spectacular film with more than an average story. The music is solid, the "Aliens Movie" style space marine types were "tough guy" awesome! This is good stuff don't let the game fanboys steer you from it. It is worth seeing.   1     2     3   Non User
