Squaresoft made a splash in Hollywood with its Columbia Pictures release of this completely computer-animated movie in 2001. Featuring human characters far more detailed than anything else ever done before, it takes place on Earth in the year 2065, in the aftermath of an alien invasion. The story has strong connections to the plot elements of FF7, but the characters and settings are all new.
