Loved the visuals, was underwhelmed by the plot.
REDDIT FINAL FANTASY SPIRITS WITHIN MOVIE
For the Time though this Movie challenged western audiences in a way that on a Mainstream level it wasn't ready for but now you look at all the influence Japan has in our Culture and I think it would go a lot differently if this Movie were re-released today. What I'm saying with the Avatar shit is basically in the moment in Theaters ppl make bad judgements and if this Movie (Spirits within) were released today I don't think it would get the negativity at all but prolly may get some obv cause like nothing is perfect. Personally, I liked this Movie and yeah I don't really care if everyone else hated it or whatever because I know those same ppl prolly liked Avatar and like I said I was LITERALLY one of none who was like "Eh, this Movie kinda sucked" which is at this point a common thought about that Movie. Japanese Anime always finds a way to make the Bad Guy just on a different level which is suppose to pull/tug at your emotions but then they toss in shit that tugs at your heart and then ofc your mind. However you'll see often in Japanese Movies that they basically write Bad Guys to be like the Superman of Bad Guys and for us as Western Go-ers we look at Superman as like Perfect Hero who is just unbeatable and the only way to beat him is to cheat. IDK, I learned after watching many many many Japanese Movies that they have a completely different mindset when it comes to Movies, literally some of their Movies (Horror/Suspense) they go out of their way to make sure that "The Bad Guy Wins" this premise is something Western Audiences as a whole don't really like, we don't like seeing the unstoppable Bad Guy and no way to beat it. This Movie (FF: Spirits Within) was part Adventure, part Horror but all Japanese and if you don't understand how their shit works then yeah maybe you hate this Movie.
I do know many many ppl don't like it but personally I don't understand why? I mean I hated Avatar and ppl were jizzing over that Movie and even before the whatever, I was like uh this Movie kinda sucks guys and everyone told me I was a hater and now ppl say it's the most overrated Movie ever. I DID own this Movie but I don't anymore. It was really super super Japanese tbh but idk I guess it had character or something that really I liked. Well shit, I guess i'm the only prick alive that actually liked this Movie lol. There were no YT playthroughs (since YT didn't exist) or access to non-pixelated trailers that a mass, world-wide audience could view, on their glitchy af RealPlayer.
REDDIT FINAL FANTASY SPIRITS WITHIN PS2
I get the point of saying the PS2 tech looked pretty good in July 2001, but almost no one outside of Japan could even make that comparison (even though it's not a fair one), because no one outside of Japan could see the game outside of screenshots. Here’s a still image from a cutscene in Final Fantasy X, which was released in mid-July, 2001, only a couple of weeks after the movie…įinal Fantasy X didn't come out in North America until Dec 2001, Europe in 2002. Of course it wasn't, but people bought the hype and ignored the Dreamcast, even though it had a ton of great and great looking games its first year too. Yes, and on top of that, the hype leading into the launch of the PS2 was that it would be capable of rending real-time photorealistic CGI graphics on par with TSW. Yet such devices leave The Spirits Within stumbling blindly, reaching for a solid base from which its plot can develop coherently.The film's graphics absolutely were state of the art at the time, and this weird notion that audiences at the time thought they were just slightly improved PS2 graphics is some nonsense revisionist history The alien phantoms, luminous and ethereal, are both beautiful and terrifying (if more than a little reminiscent of that other overblown CGI fantasy, The Lawnmower Man).īut based as it is on a videogame - as well as being written and directed by that game's creator, Hironobu Sakaguchi - many of the movie's constituent elements are taken from the gaming rather than the film-making rulebook: think increasingly powerful enemy combatants, the hero's quest, more and more challenging levels. Sci-fi fans and programmers will find it hard to contain their glee as battleships explode in vibrant tongues of orange and red, and ghostly spirits suck dry the army's life force in a glorious swoosh of blue. Almost all life has been destroyed and the land is more like a stark and scarred moonscape than a verdant Earth - grey and barren, it's the perfect canvas on which to paint some alien animé. Of greater interest by far is the much-trumpeted computer animation and the impressive realisation of Final Fantasy's post-apocalyptic planet.
