Pros: Animation is absolutely breathtaking and the saving grace to this film...
Cons: too bad a weak story ruined it
I have always been a very contemplative man. I can sit alone in a room and think about the many things life has to offer and, without fail, questions always seem to pop up in my mind. Deep, meaningful questions. Very deep. And meaningful. "How much ...

Pros: .
Cons: .
Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within is the first, and currently last, film incarnation of Squares popular Final Fantasy series of video games. Sadly video games and movies are vastly different mediums and sometimes you do have to admit that a ...

Pros: The animation
Cons: Plot, character development, pretty much everything besides the animation
Final Fantasy the movie? When I first heard that Final Fantasy was going to be made into a movie a lot of questions ran through my mind. How were the battles going to be done? How will Square (Squaresoft, is the company behind all of the FF games, and...

Pros: The computer-generated images on display are bold and beautiful.
Cons: The script is about as dull as day-old dishwater.
Tom Hanks has nothing to worry about.
Along with many of his fellow flesh-and-blood colleagues, Mr. Hanks has publicly fretted that he will soon be replaced by a computer. His remarks came on the eve of that new Dawn of Cinema: the theatrical...

Pros: Visuals, Character development as far as it goes, Plot
Cons: Depth of character development (lack thereof)
These are the words I used when I asked my friend Spring to take me to see Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within: “Hey, Spring. I’d really like to go see Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, because I hear that the visual effects really need...

Pros: Beautiful graphics, good story, good voice acting.
Cons: Corny at spots, not entirely original.
The first thing you are going to notice is the absolutely gorgeous graphics on the screen. If you are watching it on a cheap HDTV or a standard television then you are missing one of the best things of this movie, the visuals. It is all done with ...

Pros: Stellar CGI visuals.
Cons: Everything else.
I consider myself somewhat of a connoisseur of bad cinema. And I’m not talkin’ about B-movies, cult films, or movies made to be bad (although, I like ‘em all). What I’m really referring to is that breed of big screen stinkers that the general public has...

Pros: Nice graphics
Cons: Pacing, script, overall plot.
Failure to follow the original gaming plot ranks among the most common complaints associated with movies based on video games. If you thought such movies as Double Dragon & Super Mario Brothers were way off target, a taste of Final Fantasy: The Spirits...

Pros: Cinematic CGI exploits unlike anything you've ever seen. A few thoughtful themes permeate the explosions.
Cons: The story is muddled and the haphazard editing doesn't help any.
Here's a statement I've never made before and probably never will again: This movie is worth seeing just for the special effects. They're honestly that impressive.
If you've ever played any of the more recent Final Fantasy games on...

Pros: …
Cons: …
Warning: I’m going to give away major details. If you don’t like having major parts of the movie given away, you might want to watch it first. I had heard that “Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within” wasn’t that good. ...

Pros: It's pretty, teasers for Black Hawk Down and Spider Man!!!!
Cons: It knows it's pretty, and it also thinks it's smart.
One thing can be said about Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, and this you already know: it's a visual masterpiece. That's where my praise starts and ends. It's too bad.
For the first twenty minutes or so of the film, you'll...

Pros: Enough Eye Candy to make you feel like you've gained weight.
Cons: Dialogue, Dialogues, Dialogo! Simply put: a script that had more work to be done.
BUCKLE UP
Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within has been a project that has garnered my interest for quite awhile now.
I grew up playing the games, and oddly enough they are far and away the best gaming experiences I've...

by wolfegirl29 , Jul 19 '01
Pros: Incredible and creative computer animation.. cast of voice actors was interesting
Cons: Generic plot, script and characters, big time cheese factor, could have been more
After seeing the previews for Final Fantasy, this didn’t look like a movie I was interested in seeing. This was really strange to me, since I love science fiction, Japanese anime, and animated movies even more. I let myself be roped into seeing...

Pros: Animation, Music, The Title, Those Wicked Cool Phantoms
Cons: Canned Dialogue, Underdeveloped Characters,
I recently embarked on a trip to my local movie theatre to see Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within. Going in, I knew that this was my kind of movie. Lots of computer generated effects, sci-fi action, and futuristic stuff. Maybe taking a friend who...

by SusanGranger - Top 1000, Jul 09 '01
Pros: An entire cast of computer-generated humanoids and the graphics are amazing!
Cons: Hackneyed sci-fi script, mediocre music and it's about 15 minutes too long
There's a far deeper question than whether the movie-makers were faithful to the inter-active computer game which inspired this animated fantasy-adventure. This is the first major studio release with an entire cast of computer-generated humanoid...
