I don't think it was bad film, actually I quite liked it. It just never felt like a Final Fantasy title, it was absolutely amazing with its CGI graphics and photo-realistic characters, it just never felt like it had a Final Fantasy plot and more like one big cutscene.
Dr. Aki Ross had an amazing personality and look, the problem is the other characters never appealed to me as if they had a personality and were just bland. Although its difficult not to, you have to watch Spirits Within without trying to visualize it as a game and how a 40-50 hour RPG has fit into a two hour film.
Its still a good film, just not in a Final Fantasy aspect.

I must admit that having an FF in its title might have dented the FF name but square did get alot out of it. It was a good move to test their new cgi graphics and stuff. It was a start and they made much improvement especially with AC

I don't want to erase this movie from memory because it wasn't a bad one. 
I actually liked the story and the graphics (when it was released) was topnotch for that time. I even think more praise should be given to this movie, since it has received countless bashing.
It didn't have anything to do with Final Fantasy?
Well, what is Final Fantasy anyway? Each FF game has it's own story. No one can define it perfectly. Maybe the reason why Square put in the word "Final Fantasy",was because most of the FF game makers had a hand in it, therefore making it a Final Fantasy product as well.
Ah, but that's just me.

Like what i posted in another topic thread, what I can say is that this film would have been a great movie if it wasn't titled "Final Fantasy"...
I agree that the graphics and animation was top-notch but most of us FF fans must have felt ripped-off when watching this movie as it has COMPLETELY nothing to do with the FF games that we love... I think because of all that not-so-good publicity, this must have affected FF:TSW's box office performance...
Btw, was Beowulf something like this film also?

Spirits Within should not be shunned and pushed aside just because of it not having any relations to any final fantasy games. As others have said, it is a final fantasy in almost every way; a different fantasy story like all the other ff.
I found the story to be intriguing and interesting. But I do wished that Square Enix added more background to the characters/setting...
Nonetheless, this isn't a movie I would forget.
