15 Of The Most Ridiculous Films That Actors Should Be Ashamed Of
9. Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within
This is another in a long line of films that looked great on paper. It was based on the popular “Final Fantasy” series of video games that had been breaking records on the Sony PlayStation home video game console.
It was even made by the people who made the games, which went a long way towards getting series fans on board.
It also had groundbreaking special effects that still look great to this day. The film is fully animated and still looks terrific, even ten years after its release.
The issue with “Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within” is that it is very clearly a film that was designed by a committee. The story tries to hard to both appeal to the widest possible audience and to die-hard fans of the video game.
The resulting film is a mess, though it is one of the prettiest cinematic messes of all time. The film cost over $100 million dollars to make and only took in about 1/10th of that total. It was the first (and last) film that Square ever released in the United States of America.
