[movie Rant] Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within


Angel Beat

From now on, I will post in royalblue, since that color completely owns the normal blue. But that's not why I created this entry.

 

The reason why I'm writing this is unknown to me, actually, so it might become another Misc category entry.

 

Maybe it's because some of the songs in the block to the right are expired, wich is a shame, because all the songs are quite good. Those might need some reuploading. Uploading another song right now.

 

Or maybe it's because my beloved BoA hurt her ankle again a week or two ago and she still isn't fully recovered from it. And she's still having her 2006 live tour in Japan. I hope she gets well soon. =[ As a result of her injury, she'll perform less dancey songs and more ballads.

 

Ah, now I remember why I'm posting this.... The (possibly short) movie rant.

 

This week's movie is Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within. Gods, I love that movie. The CGI is awesome, the storyline is great and the music is sweet as well.

 

My eyes were fixed on the tv from the beginning to the end of TSW. The ending theme almost brought a tear into my eye. It's The Dream Within by Lara Fabian and it suits the feeling of the end of the movie perfectly. It's only unfortunate that the song was a bit faster or played higher in the movie, because it should be a bit lower...

 

The movie itself had a lot of action which involved creatures which are referred to as phantoms. The action scenes looked awesome and the (voice) acting in the rest of the scenes was very good. The only time I found the voice acting a bit.. weird.. was when Aki Ross was telling Dr. Sid she had seen Gaia. He reacted a bit too.. uninterested.

 

Maybe it was just me.

 

Anywho, if you want to see a movie which looks awesome and has a good storyline, then Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within might be a movie for you.

Hm... I kinda have to disagree with you on some parts.

 

I didn't like the voice acting in the movie when i saw it. The CGI was good, but I've seen better in movies. And too me it just didn't feel like something from Final Fantasy as much. Other than that it was good, and I too would recommend it.

 

Personally, I perfer Final Fantasy: Advent Children, but thats just me.

The Spirits Within is an older movie, that may account for the lack of even better CGI. And I'm pretty new to the Final Fantasy world(s), so maybe that's why I didn't notice that TSW isn't as FFy as the rest. ;)

 

I think I like both movies equally.

That is true. Well, I hope you enjoy the FF universe. :)

 

I personally recomend Final Fantasy VII. It's one of the best games out there.

It actually fits right into the Final Fantasy line.

Think about it, every game is a totally different story, not counting X-2 of course.

It has all the elements a Final Fantasy should have, only packed in a movie.

*Shakes fist* Hey you! Stay away from my blue!

 

And yeah, I saw Spirits Within opening weekend, nice CGI, plot was a little hackneyed at times though. Personally I think my favourite part for sheer atmosphere was when the General was drifting in space and hadn't found the cannon yet. On the edge of mine seat right thar.

Make me. :P

 

One of my favourite moments was the very ending when you hear The Spirits Within. :P That was atmospheric.
