That's what I thought his movie was, a piece of turd. I was looking forward to it, thinking it would be similar to Spirits Within (not graphically) but in terms of quality. No, none, at all. Didn't much care for the plot. It was alright but the last twenty minutes simply killed it. I know it's set in the final fantasy world but the last bit looked so ridiculous on film it was ridiculous. Some things work in movies, some do not. So many final fantasy fans hated Spirits Within because it was nothing like final fantasy. Simple because there were no chocobos, moogles, magic powers or anything of the sort they didn't recognize it as final fantasy. It was, at it's core final fantasy. Characters/plot are final fantasyesc. If you took away materia from Final Fantasy Seven the plot, for the most part would be exactly the same. The story does need those things but GAMEPLAY does.
