Final Fantasy The Spirits Within is a photo realistic computer animated movie, based on the computer game series of the same name, which I despised! Set in the year 2065, Earth has been taken over by a race of alien phantoms and transformed into a barren wasteland, sprinkled with dome-enclosed barrier cities, the last bastions of human civilization. Dr Aki Ross (voiced by Ming-Na) has teamed up with Captain Gray Edwards (Alec Baldwin) to search for the 7th and 8th spirits, powerful entities dwelling in an unknown lifeform somewhere on the planet.

They hold the key to perfecting a system of energy waves that will neutralize the phantoms, but the reckless General Hein (James Woods), who is determined to put a stop to the alien invasion by firing a satellite cannon directly into a nest of phantoms located deep within the Earth, even though this could mean obliterating the planet and all life upon it!

Final Fantasy The Spirits Within is without doubt a well made movie, I found it a bit slow though, and I know Final Fantasy purists have different issues with it!

Here is the trailer...
