Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within Blu-raySony Pictures | 2001 | 106 mins | Rated PG-13 | Aug 07, 2007
Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within(2001)Action | Adventure | Anime | Fantasy | Sci-Fi ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 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. Final Fantasy is the groundbreaking new CGI film from the creators of the Final Fantasy Video Game Franchise. For more details about Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within on Blu-ray, see the Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within Blu-ray Review Starring: Ming-Na Wen, Alec Baldwin, Ving Rhames, Steve Buscemi, Peri Gilpin Directors: Hironobu Sakaguchi, Motonori Sakakibara Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within Blu-ray, Video Quality![]() Presented in 1080p, and encoded using the AVC codec (at an average bitrate of 30 MBPS), The Spirits Within is brought to Blu-ray courtesy of Sony Pictures. This direct digital-to-digital transfer is truly demo-worthy. Watching a film like this will remind you why you made the jump from DVD to Blu-ray, and I can’t imagine The Spirits Within ever looking better than this. Detail has a 3-dimensional quality that causes most scenes to jump right off the screen. This 3-D quality wouldn’t be possible without perfectly rendered contrast, well-defined black levels, and superb color saturation. One of the greatest strengths of the animation, is the use of lighting effects (watch for the headlights on the buggy, or the flashlight effects on the helmets of the soldiers), and without perfect contrast, those scenes would not look nearly this good. If you want to impress your friends, toss in this disc to show off your new Blu-ray player. Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within Blu-ray, Audio Quality![]() Considering The Spirits Within was an early release to the Blu-ray format, Sony Pictures utilized the Linear PCM 5.1 lossless format. Similar to the video quality, the lossless track is everything we could hope for in an action-heavy, science fiction film. It’s actually rare to go through a single scene without hearing your surrounds come alive to create an excellent level of depth. Vehicle scenes are a highlight, since the engine effects pan throughout the soundstage in perfect unison with the onscreen action. Additionally, your subwoofer will get a substantial workout during Aki’s dream sequences, as you feel the rumble of the approaching alien hordes. I did notice one problem with the audio track, which came precisely at the hour mark. There were two short blips in the track (almost like a tick tock) that were clearly not part of the source material. I played the scene three times, and each time the exact same thing happened. This could just be an error on my disc, but I thought I should mention it in case anyone else has the same experience. Aside from that one problem, this is reference quality audio, and I doubt fans will find anything to be disappointed with. Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within Blu-ray, Forum Discussions
