In fiction, there IS a distinction between Sci-fi and Fantasy. There just is. They may be under the same umbrella of "Stories that are not entirely based on things that could happen in real life," but they are different if you want to be specific about it, and not THAT specific, either. Like, there are still many more sub-genres of Sci-Fi, like Hard...and that's the only one that I can think of right now because y'know.

That being said, the movie would have been eighty thousand times better if it wrere titled simply "The Spirits Within" and billed as a Sci-Fi flick from Square. Even if on EVERY commercial, it was advertised "From the Makers of Final Fantasy," or titled like "Sakaguchi's The Spirits Within" or something. heh. Well y'know okay bye
