Editorial Review:Inspired by the popular video game franchise, Hironobu Sakaguchi's Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within is a completely computer-generated film which, unlike Toy Story and Shrek, is also 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, Amazon.com On the DVD: disc one includes an interesting, if a little flat, director’s commentary. Better is the isolated score with a superb and fascinating commentary from composer Elliot Goldenthal. Other options allow you to access more information about the film. The menus are clear and feature full CGI effects and specially created sequences. Disc two is where you will find the real meat, with literally hours of documentaries and technical promos to plough through covering every aspect of the filmmaking process, along with music videos and an alternative opening sequence. You can re-edit a short sequence from the film and there’s also a wealth of DVD-ROM material offering the complete screenplay and an interesting tour of Square Pictures, makers of the film. Features like the FHM-style photo shoot of CGI heroine Aki give an indication of the target audience for this movie. Add all this extra material to the superb picture quality--which almost leaves you convinced that you are watching a live action movie--and crystal sharp sound and you have one of the most technically impressive discs to hit the market so far. Any DVD buff will need this just to prove that the format is a worthwhile investment.--Jon Weir

Hi,
This is gointa be short n sweet cuz there int a great deal to say.

Talking of graphics, this film has the best so far. It is totally different compared to any final fantasy game. It lacks summons, black magic, etc. I can see that this is more like a Sci Fi fantasy. And as a sci fi fantasy movie, it surely isn't bad. I've watched it a few times, and it's still quite enjoyable just watching the action.

I remember going to watch this film when it first came out. I remember expecting so much more than what I got. Do not buy this film. The only people who wanted to see this movie were gaming fans and it was NOTHING to do with final fantasy. It was completely pointless and I didn't care about any of the characters. It was a film demonstrating how poserful there computers are. I feel sorry for the people who were conned into paying for this production. No real plot, voice acting became worthless, even ...

Despite the misplaced disappointment people placed on it, the only cgi film that beats this one is Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children. I think the main reason the film was made is to push the boundaries of cgi technology by making the first ever "Photo-realistic" CGI film.
