Review of Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within (2001) by Renzo V — 03 Mar 2014
"EIGHT SPIRITS CAN SAVE HUMANITY".
- 'Final Fantasy: the Spirits Within' is a 2001 computer animated sci-fi movie based on the storyline of the video game series. It was the first photorealistic and most expensive animation film ever made. Although I find the graphics and storyline a good match, I'm somehow not having a wow-feeling. With voices of Alec Baldwin (Beetlejuice), Donald Sutherland (The Hunger Games), Ving Rhames (Mission: Impossible saga), Ming-Na Wen (Prom Night), Peri Gilpin (Frasier) and Steve Buscemi (Con Air).
The year is 2065. Earth has been infested by Phantoms (aliens ghosty like creatures who kill humans by mere physical contact). Doctors Aki Ross (Wen) and Sid (Sutherland)are searching for a way to defeat the invaders. They believe that 8 spirits are the key. Having found already 6, Aki is joined by military Grey Edwards (Baldwin) and his squad 'Deep Eyes', consisting of jokester Neil Fleming (Buscemi), brave Ryan Whittaker (Rhames) and daring Jane Proudfoot (Gilpin). Can they retrieve the missing spirits before the entire human race is extinguished?
