Review Summary
Based on the popular video game, Final Fantasy follows Dr. Aki Ross (Ming-Na) in her search for the final two "spirits" that could finally defeat alien invaders named "Phantoms". Helping (and hindering) her are an assortment of characters including Grey (Baldwin), Neil (Buscemi), Ryan (Rhames) and General Hein (Woods). Final Fantasy is the first full length motion picture to use computer generated human beings in the entire film.
