Spirits Within killed Square. I liked the movie but their reach exceeded their grasp on that one.

I don't really get why people dunk on that movie so much. Sure, it's not some pinnacle of film, but it's still a decent movie.

That's a fair point, the budget was ludicrous and the normal ties to FF were tangential at best.

You had to be there.

It was being promoted as some monumental landmark thing that was going to change both gaming and movie industries forever. Nearly every American news media was raving about its FeMC as this new icon of the era, even fucking Maxim magazine had her as a Top100 model. This was at a time when Square had dropped FF9 and FFX was dropping like two weeks after, so the franchise was its generally unquestioned peak.

So having this completely mid movie drop, with every one of those media sycophants turning on it immediately after, it just dropped every ball it could.

I guess as a non-American, it probably wasn't pushed as hard here and the hype didn't carry it up as high, making that fall much less dramatic.

It really was ahead of its time.

It was hugely hyped, got a big theater release, and while it was impressive as a tech demo it was a stupid movie.

I never thought it was that stupid though. Again, nothing special, but I thought it was fine. Maybe it was just a case of hype going too high and the film not being able to deliver.
