Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within

>>382425840
oh shut up retard, plenty of thread about Nintendo doing movies and anime again for synergy purposes, no one gives an eye.
and don't get me started on how movies like The Last of Us gets a free pass

I personally kind of liked it. Even if it was less Final Fantasy than I was expecting.

It's been quite a while though, so maybe I'm remembering it through rose-tinted glasses.

>>382425758
yes. people were expecting at least something final fantasy-ish not a post apoc sci fi movie about MUH LIFE FORMS. in the aftermath it was discovered that in fact the entire movie was a tech demo to push aki as some hilarious cgi superstar """actress""" that was going to be a bunch of other movies.

So you posted this here purposefully, knowing it has absolutely nothing to do with video games aside from the title? Even the plot isn't an adaptation of any video game.

>>382425758
It's an "ok" movie if you have never played or even heard of any final fantasy game.
If you watch it expecting it to be ANYTHING similar to any of the games you will hate the movie.

>>382425758
It was better than XV.
But that's not fucking saying much.

The biggest problem this movie had was calling itself Final Fantasy when it had nothing to do with the series. The second biggest was that it was really Japanese and kinda obtuse.

On a pure animation level, this movie is beautiful and pushed the boundaries of 3D animation farther than any other movie. Keep in mind that this movie's contemporaries were Toy Story and Shrek. With the amount of detail in the environments, detail on the characters and realistic everything it makes both those movies look like joke (In terms of animation).

It actively pisses me off when people complain about the animation because they're comparing it to modern 3D movies and saying it doesn't hold up. Of course not because the rest of the world caught up to this movie 5 years ago and even then they screw up.
The biggest saving grace is that everyone involved in the production side went on to reshape the animation industry as a whole.

it's not bad at all
the creator put their spirit in it

>>382425758

It had some major script issues but I appreciated the craftsmanship that went in it. Also, the music was the fuckin bomb.

Did anyone else watch this on their PSP?

>>382425758
It's boring as fuck

>>382425758
They clearly tried really hard and James Woods was used to great effect. Not an abysmal movie but clearly not a good idea either. It's very weird and shallow but a pretty remarkable technical achievement.

I forgot they sold movies for that

hilarious

>>382427971
you're not alone

It's a good movie, and nobody ever criticises it as a movie because they don't care if it's good or not and just want to complain about Sakaguchi being at fault for Square merging with Enix.

>>382425758

It was a generic sci-fi movie that had fuck nothing to do with final fantasy

it's not bad at all. spirits within is a well made scifi movie with some really cool visuals that are still holding up. the characters are very clichè but they work in the story.
I actually like it a lot, I've never played any of the games though.

Way to flaunt your ignorance.

My dad bought this. I didn't believe it was Final Fantasy related because it looked too much like horseshit, and I don't even like Final Fantasy.

>>382428467

I played Final Fantasy

it was thieves and goblins and skeletons, not space marines with assault rifles and shit

Aki Ross is cute! CUTE!

>there will never be a game that uses the concept of this movie.

Shit, it would be a great horror FPS.

WE WUZ FINAL FANTASY N SHIET

>>382428860

shuush you meme bastard

>>382428604
They're not space marines, the movie takes place on earth. They're probably not marines either, weren't the seas dry or something? Been a while since I watched the movie.

>>382425758
This movie was backlashed HARD in America before release, that's why it bombed. Hollywood was afraid of "computer generated characters" would substitute real actors. Since it was a 100% japanese movie they had nothing o lose making it bomb hard. Movie is OK, a little too complicated to follow but impressive visuals for the time and created baseline for VFX.

YOU MAD GOBLIN BOI?

>>382427814
Saying that movie is not a Final Fantasy, because is not related to any game is like saying that FFX is not a Final Fantasy, because there is no Cloud in it. Final Fantasy is not really series.

Just watched it recently, it was pretty boring honestly. The spirits thing was interesting, but I felt no attachment to the characters.

>>382426294
Was Aki proto lightning?

>>382429220
I think he is referring to the space marine as a general aesthetic trope, insofar as most futuristic military outfits look the same
