Earth is a desolate wasteland in Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within. 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

Animation this , hummmmmm ...

If you never see this animation movie and you want to see the best realistic animation and design. Buy it and see it. I'm very sure that you're going to love it.

Excellent

Picture quality, Excellent!. For animation movie lovers this is one or the best cg movie ever made in history.

Pretty good

This is a really nicely done CG movie. The visuals are amazing. It's a pretty entertaining movie because of the CG alone. It does get a little slow at times though. Even the first time I saw it, I found my mind wondering during some of the slow scenes. Some people don't like the fact that this movie has nothing to do with the games but it didn't bother me cause I'm not a fan of the games at all. I don't understand why a game where you put in commands and watch the action rather than do it yourself, is so popular. But that's a whole different story. Anyway, if you can get this movie on sale, like I did, then it's a good buy.

My favorite movie to date

I've liked this movie from the day it came out in the theater's. I had my mom take me to the nearest theater which was 200mile's away when i was 12. I gave up my Christmas and my birthday for that trip, And it was worth it.

This movies got a story line like none other that I've seen or heard of.

I watch it at least twice a month.

I recommend that if you have a pubic library go there check for the movie and if you like it buy it.

I should of got this movie ages ago but i rented for 4 years at $2 for 1week and did that over 17 times.

But as i said above some of my friend see it a waste of time to watch once and others are like me their get together with me just to see the movie age, So go check it out if you can and then buy it if you like it.

Not bad...

It's why SqareSoft failed and got bought be Enix, but I like the movie. Graphics are still impressive, the overall plot is good, though some of the dialogue is redundant, stupid an unnecessary.
