This campy, song-filled rise-to-pop stardom film Studio/Distributor: Twentieth Century Fox/Columbia Pictures/Maroon Entertainment Plans for further installments of Final Fantasy with the 'synthetic actress' had to be scrapped. Although it was a landmark film in terms of technical achievement, it was also one of the most expensive flops in film history, due to mismarketing to its videogame audience as a fast-paced action film. While the film presented an engaging storyline, it wasn't overly compelling with its bland combination of contemplative, semi-spiritual Eastern (or New Age-y) philosophy, mechanically-animated humans, and ephemerally translucent monsters. In a dream-vision, Aki eventually realized that the eighth spirit (a Phantom) resided within her own self - it was distributed by dying Captain Gray's body and transmitted directly at the Phantom spirit world to eliminate the threat, in the film's finale. The uninvolving story's main characters were two scientists: smart and slim virtual brunette heroine Aki Ross (voice of Ming-Na), looking like actress Bridget Fonda, and her wise old mentor Doctor Sid (voice of Donald Sutherland), who were working to save the world, combat the ghostlike enemy forces and defend Earth's survivors by "collecting" the Eight Spirits that would generate energy waves strong enough when combined (as a force called "Gaia") to neutralize and disarm the aliens.ĭuring an adventurous mission to save mankind through peaceful pseudo-ecological means, Aki reconnected with hunky, Ben Affleck-like stoic boyfriend Captain Gray Edwards (voice of Alec Baldwin) and his team of Deep Eyes soldiers with laser guns, although they found themselves at odds with evil and determined General Hein (voice of James Woods), who wanted to eliminate the predatory phantom aliens by blasting them with a highly dangerous, high-tech orbiting space weapon called the Zeus Cannon.
Set in the futuristic year 2065, this stunning-looking, hyper-realistic, revolutionary science-fiction film told about a ravaged Earth ruled by an alien race known as the Phantoms, who had forced the Earth's inhabitants to live in energy-shielded "barrier cities" to escape being virus-infected.

It was the first photo-realistic, computer-generated feature film with convincing, accurately-detailed, life-like flesh-and-blood characters, inspired by a best-selling series of video games by the film's director, Hironobu Sakaguchi. This exceptional anime-like film, done completely in astronomically-expensive CGI over a four year period, bankrupted its production company, Honolulu-based Square Pictures (celebrating its first film).
