Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within is not a great movie. It’s probably not even a good movie. But it’s a fairly interesting film, at least for some of its bits of historic significance: it was supposed to launch a “digital actress” in Ming-Na Wen’s character, Dr. Aki Ross. It was stupidly expensive. It flopped so hard that the movie was both the first - and the last - Square Pictures picture. Join John Warren, Steven Strom, Danielle Riendeau, and Fanbyte Weekend Writer Natalie Flores on an adventure unlike any other (for better or worse). One note: Danielle’s audio was eaten by some particularly nasty spirits in this episode. We apologize for that, and the offending software has been fired. Learn more about your ad choices.
