Finally saw Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within...

11-02-2003, 12:45 PM

Yep, it came on Sci-Fi last night. I have to say...it wasn't as bad as most people have made it out to be. The plot was about what I expected, and the graphics were impressive.

I can definitely see why it didn't catch on though, all that talk about Gaia, spirits, and the marketing that sold none of the action involved. Plus, it was a little weird at first seeing a full animated movie with ultra-realistic characters.

Hahahaha. FINALLY saw it?

I was happen that there was a Cid, but the amount of deaths made me mad. That was the only element that wasn't true to FF.

11-02-2003, 01:48 PM

Yeah. Good movie. Little to do with Final Fantasy. Too much killing.

OK, maybe one death per Final Fantasy, but the movie went overboard.

I mean, they NEVER kill off the main party members in a Fanal Fantasy. (Well, except that loser Aeris). But in the movie, they had a field day. Just retarded.

The movie has more to do with the Aliens series then the Final Fantasy series. It should of been called Aliens 5.

And would it have killed them to have one person level up? Or play the victory music?

Oh, and another problem I had - no real bad guy. Just that general guy, who would have been a great pick, but they didn't do much with him. Would it have killed them to have a Boss Battle?

Overall, good, but eh.-jay

eh i thought the movie pretty boring, regardless of it being Final fantasy or not

A waste of the talents of James Woods and Steve Buscemi...

I was bored silly with that movie.

If anything they should make an FF movie like they are maaking long winded story movies...multiple movie parts! But if they did people who probably say their trying to feed off of the LoTR popularity...or something along those lines.

11-02-2003, 10:15 PM

I was just waiting for them to spin their guns around to the victory music....

I don't think it was as bad as a lot of people said it was, but it was still quite average. And the fact that Aki and Cid were the only survivors also pisses me off. I mean who's gonna repopulate the problem? Aki and Cid? *shudders*

Jay that quate makes you my new fave admin Five sucked. I've got a profile to change.

When I saw FF:TSW, I wasn't expecting it to be at all like the games. Any movie that's made based on something else (usually books) will have many different things. Prolly helps that I'd only played two FF games when I saw the movie, but I thought it was good.

FF5 wasn't as good as FF9, and it wasn't as bad as Crono Crap. I think FF5's only mediocre. (6/10) Please state reasons for not liking FF5.

PK FIRE! · 11-04-2003, 01:26 PM

lets see. the grafics were bad. the story was rank. The chariters were anoying. The vilen was like a less cool slash less funny Kefka, and oh yes there's no freacken way to stop the crystels from going kaboom. Also you have to buy spells. I hate buying spell. The only waving graces were the job system and boss battle music. one question. Why couldn't square just kill the rest of the cast when that old fool died? would have been cool to see a vilen win for once even though he kinda sucked.

11-04-2003, 01:44 PM

Graphics were bad? They were absolutely amazing!
