http://www.gamevideos.com/video/id/8854 Some bored people from Squeenix used the leftover Spirit' s Within models to make a MJ Thriller parody And wouldn' t you know it! It' s at least TWO TIMES better than the actual movie!

" Spirits Within" was an excellent movie if you weren' t expecting Final Fantasy. Which, really isn' t fair given the title, but I liked it.

Far enough, but then, yeah, they should have just called it ' Spirit' s Within' =/ All things considered, those character models aren' t as creepy NOW, considering what we see in the Mass Effect videos and GoW...

..Sprits Within was pretty revolutionary in being the first proper all CG feature film (disregarding kiddie movies like Toy Story ofc) and without it, i doubt Advent Children would of ever seen the light of day.... ...technologically, it' s still VERY impressive visually... ...especially the opening sequence... ...you might wanna rent the DVD if you don' t own it, cause it' s about 1,000,000 times better looking than either Mass Effect or Gears of War... ...too bad the story was disappointing... ...but i guess that' s what you get when the bulk of the material was a sub videogame cast off (Sakaguchi over rated? ..surely not ) ...despite all that i also think Sprits Within is a decent move, i just wish they hada got in a real director like a Mamoru Oshi...

Japanese post-apocalyptic/apocalyptic science fiction rarely makes sense once translated. Thank the guys who piloted the Enola Gay and Necessary Evil for that.

ORIGINAL: Bishonen ...i just wish they hada got in a real director like a Mamoru Oshi... I second that. Ghost in the Shell is one of my favorite anime movies. Still haven' t seen Innocence yet! I liked Spirits Within. Yeah, it had a lot of wasted potential, but it was visually stunning. Oh. And the main character should' ve been voiced by Ben Affleck. It looked just like him, anyway!

Spirits within was a coo concept and at that tie animation was never as good as that for human characters. Looking forward to this " thriller"

And the main character should' ve been voiced by Ben Affleck. It looked just like him, anyway! ...you know, i always thought that the cast should of been unknowns (apart from Ming-Na) ...half the Hollywood voices don' t really seem to work... ...apart from Donald Sutherland maybe...

Umm... I think grown-ups prefer movies like Toy Story before Spirits Within so calling it a kiddie movie is kinda weird. Spirits Within was a decent sci-fi action movie, aimed at teenage kids. The greatest thing with it was that it was CGI. Otherwise, as a movie, it was mediocre. Toy Story contains some really fantastic character designs and the humour is great in multiple levels. Everyone, from kids to adults can enjoy the movie. It seems I never stop getting surprised by how many people concider products to be " kiddie" just because it has a cute surface or lack violence.

Not a Final Fantasy fan at all but I really liked/loved Advent Children and hated almost everything about Spirits Within..

I' d laugh at the person who believes the Fantastic Four movie was better than The Incredibles; in terms of storytelling, writing, and visual style, the animated movie is hands-down the winner, and it got its own nomination. Edna Mode pretty much pwns the FF movie all by herself. Plus, you' d think GAMERS would know better than anyone that just because something chooses a ' kiddie' visual style means it' s meant for kids. Invader Zim had a cult following bigger and beyond its 10-12 demographic, and who can forgot Psychonauts! Oh, and about the visuals of the movie. They' re still stunning now, but something about the overall art direction and presentation now seems ' dated' compared to GoW or the Advent Children movie. I didn' t mean in terms of polygons or lighting techniques...the whole movie just didn' t ' gel' visually even though the individual parts looked fantastic. Anyone watch the 3D animated segment in the Animatrix compilation? They reused some of the character models and stuff for it. Personally, I thought it was more impressive than the movie in that short alone...

I think Advent Children' s animation was clearly superior over the animation of the Spirits Within, don' t know if that' s what you mean.. In terms of individual frames, Spirits Within looks stunning no doubt, but it kinda falls apart when in motion..
