Why So Much Bad Press?

Date of Review:  Aug 22, 2001
The Bottom Line: Visually, this movie reaches heights once unthought of, but the vocals do not mesh quite as well. Still, the movie is definitely worth seeing on the big screen.
Review: 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 to be seen on...

Made for the Big Screen

Date of Review:  Jul 21, 2001
The Bottom Line: Go and enjoy the graphics but don't expect a fulfilling plot.
Review: This has to be one of those "Made for the Big Screen Only" films. I don't think that anyone could possibly catch the proper experience on a home video system. I would never recommend waiting for this to be released on home video.

It is...

Don't try to figure it out

Date of Review:  Jul 13, 2001
The Bottom Line: Final Fantasy lovers, here's a neat movie. If you don't already love Final Fantasy, this probably won't make you "fall" for it.
Review: If you wish to completely understand the character, background, or reasons for existence of the players in a movie than this movie may really turn you off.

I found that, while the graphics were certainly much better (in some aspects) than...

Final Fantasy: Mediocre Marvel

Date of Review:  Jul 19, 2001
The Bottom Line: The flick had some darn good animation. See it at a matinee if you like that or are Final Fantasy fan. Or.. wait for it to come on video.
Review: 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 this...

Enjoyable, but a let down

Date of Review:  Aug 25, 2001
The Bottom Line: I would definitely see it, but prepare to be let down. The hype doesn't live up to the movie. Even ground breaking graphics can't save a film entirely.
Review: People have been hearing about it for awhile now. Final Fantasy enthusiasts have been waiting for it for years.

Final Fantasy, the movie. Dun dun da!

As we all know, FF the movie is a revolutionary step in computer generated...

Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within

Date of Review:  Mar 14, 2006
The Bottom Line: A great computer generated movie that really captures the audience’s emotions.
Review: 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...

Final Fantasy

Date of Review:  Jul 16, 2001
The Bottom Line: This movie is recommended because it entertains on multiple levels and for the fact that it is the forerunner to other such movies of its kind.
Review: I know someone who plays the games religiously and has (pretty much) the entire set. Therefore I was hearing about this movie months before ever seeing it. I have never played the game for more than a few minutes at a time, but when I saw the...

Not a Spielburg, but this is still a great movie. The first of its kind.

Date of Review:  Aug 22, 2002
The Bottom Line: This is a good movie, while some won't like the story, it's worth seeing just for the experience. This is a film you've got to see... just because you do.
Review: If you go into this thinking it'll be just like the video games then you'll come away disappointed. This is just about the only movie based on a vid game that doesn't follow the same story, however, it does create the same feeling (or close enough...

The new wave of animation

Date of Review:  Jul 27, 2001
The Bottom Line: Definetly go see it for the plot, but try not to get your hopes up for an ending that quite explains everything about the spirits.
Review: Final Fantasy will hopefully be the first in a series of such movies. Having gotten into the later games, such as Final Fantasy 7 and 8, movies on these would be astounding visually, if this first movie was any indication. The basic premise of Final...

If human beings were made entirely of eyeballs, this would be an instant classic.

Date of Review:  Jul 12, 2001
The Bottom Line: Calling a film "The Best Video Game Movie" is like calling someone "The Smartest Idiot".
Review: 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 your...
