if your a fan of the final fantasy series then there is no reason you shouldnt have this blu ray in your collection...

A CG Masterpiece and Bookshelf Essential for Sci-Fi Collectors

I was blown away by the CG work in this superb Sci-Fi title when I watched it on SD DVD. The Blu Ray release is even more stunning and well worth the upgrade. At times, it feels almost real and you can't help admiring the talent necessary to create such a masterpiece. It's not often that a CG animation classic such as this comes along and decent Sci-Fi movies have lately been too few and far between. This has pride of place on my Blu Ray rack :-)

different

The story leaves the planet in some sort of rebirth but after most humans are wiped out. The animation at the time of release in theaters was great. But now watching it again on DVD which I forgot I had seen was still great but when you are looking for story more so that the animation it falls short. But not all stories are going to end in ways you want them. It takes imagination to make a unique story. Or rely on past history and spice it up. There are many movies and anime out there but its finding great one's like Grave of the Fireflies or something fun like The Incredibles. I would suggest renting this for a look but there are some out there for the cost of rental but I would pass it to someone else and not keep it in a collection. Its a good first see but digital graphics are now hard to tell from live view and getting better.

Final Fantasy?

What can I say about this movie? The annimation is excellant. The story is good. The voice acting is great. Why then did I give it 4 stars instead of 5? It is not Final Fantasy. This tag must have been put on the film to lure Final Fantasy devotees, but, in my opinion, the film could have stood on its own without this misnomer.
Final Fantasy bagan as a sword and sorcery role play game. As it progessed (Final Fantasy 2, 3,...8, 9, 10, etc.), Science Fiction elements were added. While the weapons are more high tech, they are still essentialy swords, maces, and other medieval type weapons. Magic, in various forms, is also a key element in all Final Fantasy RPG. These elements were not present.
When I first went to see this film at the theater, I was expecting a different movie. I left disappointed as did the friends who were with me. It is a good movie, and I say buy it, but don't expect Final Fantasy. It's just not there. The movie should have just been called "The Spirits Within." Nuff sed.
