What critics compared Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within to
Antes tuvimos la terrible película de Super Mario Bros. (1993) –a pesar de Bob Hopkins, John Leguizamo y, claro, el gran Dennis Hopper como Koopa–, y luego vinieron los horrores imperdonables de la saga de Resident Evil (2002); babosadas sin sentido como Pixels (2015) –que, aunque no sea adaptación, se empantana en revivir viejos juegos ochenteros–; las locuras de Dead or Alive (2006); las espantosas Alone in the Dark (2005) y Farcry (2008) del pobre Uwe Boll –que quiso dirigir Warcraft pero que Blizzard, con justa razón, mandó a volar–; los horrores recientes sin alma de Angry Birds (2016) y Need for Speed (2014); las dos bazofias de Hitman (lo siento Mila Kunis); la pésima adaptación de Doom (2005) y un largo etcétera que sólo se salva, tal vez, con la visualmente impactante e innovadora Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within (2001).
After three years of technological advances and millions of dollars spent, the "realistic" computer animation of Robert Zemeckis' The Polar Express isn't all that much better than Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within (2001).
Similar to flaws in the 2001 Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within , virtual characters just can't convey human emotion as well as real-life actors, plain and simple.
The New Age eco-spirituality of Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within has nothing on Avatar.
So as with those early CGI animations like "Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within" and "Beowolf," there's a bit of the " uncanny valley " effect.

To be fair, I said the same thing about Warcraft, and the first Resident Evil, the first Silent Hill movie, Prince of Persia, and Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, and so on and so forth.
