The year is 2065 AD. The Earth is infested with alien spirits, and mankind faces total extinction. Led by a strange dream and guided by her mentor, Dr. Sid, scientist Aki Ross struggles to collect eight spirits in the hope of creating a force powerful enough to destroy the alien presence and pure enough to protect the planet. With the aid of the Deep Eyes Squadron, Aki must save the Earth from its darkest hate and unleash the final spirit.

Critics' reviews

"It's like you're witnessing a Heavy Metal story come to life (...) Final Fantasy'' is a technical milestone, like the first talkies or 3-D movies (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"

Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times
"Unlike anything you've ever seen before, Final Fantasy is, finally, one for the history books (...) It makes Lara Croft look like an old maid."

Marc Savlov: Austin Chronicle
"What makes Final Fantasy a final failure is a predictable, nonsensical plot"

Jonathan Foreman: New York Post
"[It] is a visual marvel. But moviegoers accustomed to Hollywood action probably won't find this contemplative adventure so appealing (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"

Mike Clark: USA Today
"Isn't likely to satisfy the gamers' appetite for action. It also probably isn't heady enough for the science-fiction crowd, and it's too remote for those who simply wish to be immersed in a head-spinning fantasy world."

Marc Caro: Chicago Tribune
"If the quality of the writing had matched the artistry of the animation it would border on masterpiece (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"

William Thomas: Empire
