Erm, yeah... so. Movies.

FF: Spirits Within was rather good... but you have to be a fan of the series to appreciate it more. Directing job was a bit unusual at times (and the character movements were sometimes unnatural but that's to be expected) but given that he doesn't normally cater to America's preference of large explosions backdropped by War & Peace. Story's a bit on the predictable side, but hell it's a summer action movie so does that really matter?

There were a few trite moments (ex. use of "pyrotechnics" and camera angles just to show off when light flares are released) which were accented further by the inconsistant quality of voice acting (ex. all the jokes)... but not bad overall. A few things to mention though: Aki's hair doesn't float while in outerspace. It's as if they've developed an invisible hair net that keeps the strands in place at all times... which is weird when later she demonstrates her Pantene-infused volume-ized hair as it constantly covers half her face. Cid was in the movie (and yes, again he was an old man) but they spelled his name S-I-D. Eh, minor detail.

No moogles or chocobos (which could've been added as a stuffed animal or tattoo/sticker just for the hardcore fans), and Biggs/Wedge weren't present.

Tomorrow. Our Lady Peace concert. I'm actually going. I'm actually going to see Raine. Someone hold me! :D
