Heh, well the difference between the "Spirits Within" and the AC is that SW was a film on its own. There was no SW game made before it came out, no SW book written and so on. AC on the other side should be more fun to those people who played the FFVIII before. Just imagine watching Star Wars Episode III without knowing what happened in the previous ones.

Plus, if you want to watch it on the big screen, one of your friends might well have a beamer and a stereosound system at home. And then there are those mini-cinemas with 10 seats, where you pay 50$ and watch the film that you like. Sure is a little smaller than a normal cinema, but its a start.
