The movie IMO was good, it just didn't need to bear the title "Final Fantasy".

nobody could touch this CGI for its time. it was awesome.

@darthxemnas been saying that for a long time; if they had just called it The Spirits Within and billed it as a sci-fi flick it would have done better. People went expecting a Final Fantasy movie like one of the games.

Why was this movie called Final Fantasy anyway? "Spirits Within" sounds just fine.

I honestly prefer to see without motion capture but i guess sometime time does not allow them to animate on their own coz it will be taking too much time.

a movie so dull and boring even the making-of is half amv set to terrible music.

the fact that this cgi still looks amazing today says something about this movie

@darthxemnas well it was created by the creator of Final Fantasy Sagaguchi, and he know this title suitable for this film because he have his reason.

That is one of my all time favorite CG movies, but I have to say that the title is a bit misleading. I not once saw a chocobo or a dancing cactus or cactaur or anything resembling a FF character... unless you count Cid, who really only bared the name.
