In the year 2065, the next great assault against an invading race of phantom-like aliens is about to be launched. Dr. Aki Ross, a brilliant young scientist, races to find the invaders' secrets, not only to save the planet, but herself as well after her body is infected by alien particles. She teams up with the prestigious Deep Eyes military squadron, led by her old friend Grey Edwards. But as Aki, her mentor Dr. Sid, and Grey work toward a peaceful end, the scheming General Hein devises a plot to eradicate the aliens in one swift, destructive blow...even if it destroys the Earth right along with them.
At the release back in 2001, The Spirits Within failed miserably at the box office. It made game developer Squaresoft (who made the film) to give up on making any more films and cost them tons and tons of money. So why did it fail to impress the viewers? One reason is that Squaresoft is famous for making amazing games with great stories and people had high expectations on the movie. The story in The Spirits Within isn't amazing in any way, but it's entertaining and gives good excuses for showing us some lovely sci-fi imagery and alien action. The animation is also very good for its time, and never did I wish that it looked better.
