It wasn't bad, it just wasn't Final Fantasy.
There wasn't a single element in it that relates to Final Fantasy.
Not to mention all the characters were like, human!

How can people say there were no links between the movie and previous Final Fantasy titles?
1. Gaia Theory - The main basis of FF7's storyline
2. Cid in both TSW and all other FF titles.
3. Spirit energy, again found in FF7.
I'm sure there are more links that I haven't mentioned here but there are definitely undeniable links between this movie and general Final Fantasy themes.  |

I looked forward to seeing this when i heard about it, but when i did see it, i thought it was abit of a let down to be honest, to me it didnt have anything to do with Final Fantasy.

I thought it was pretty cool, it did have some FF elements, returning to the planet, Gaia etc.. At the time people thought of FFVII whenever the FF series was mentioned, and that's what they were expecting.

Well personally the movie didnt completely suck, but yeah it didnt live up to any final fantasy movie. Things could have been much better.

I personally thought this was a very good film, and I look forward to seeing it everytime it's advertised on CityTV's movie night. It has never yet failed to make me cry at the ending. With the whole impending doom element, it reminds me a bit of the Terminator, to be honest.
I found the story to be very well-written, and the idea of a super-lethal alien threat was quite intriguing, though admittedly it's a bit of an overused plot device. The voice acting was great, the actors seemed really into their characters and actually put emotion and emphasis into the lines.
Just because it's a WEE BIT misleading with the "Final Fantasy" title, does not mean that the movie shouldn't exist. It would make a very successful stand-alone, if people weren't so busy flaming the title.
All in all, I say that the movie definitely deserves to exist. Not many things can get me so emotionally involved time and time again, but this movie has, and kudos go to it!

Like many other posters have said, I thought the movie was amazing, but the title just should have been different. "The Spirits Within" would have been just as nice as "Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within". I agree that the lack of Final Fantasy elements was disappointing, I was holding my breath for Aki to show us she was actually a summoner or something the entire time. So yeah, the title was a let down, but I thought the movie itself was pretty good. The story, the characters, the animation, just all of it was really captivating to me.
