Earth is a desolate wasteland in Final Fan= tasy: The Spirits Within. Humanity has been decimated by an invasion of Pha= ntoms, insubstantial aliens that extract and devour the spirits of living t= hings. The beautiful Dr. Aki Ross (voiced by Ming-Na) and her mentor Dr. Si= d (Donald Sutherland) have discovered that the energy signatures of eight k= ey Earth spirits can cancel out and destroy the Phantoms. With the help of = Captain Edwards (Alec Baldwin) and his band of marines, they scour the glob= e for the last two remaining spirits before General Hein (James Woods) mani= pulates the refugee government into attacking the aliens with an orbital la= ser that may also destroy the Earth. Completely computer generated, The Spi= rits Within is a serious science fiction drama with astonishingly human dig= ital actors.

Back when the= first Star Trek feature was released in December 1979, the Trek franchise= was still relatively modest, consisting of the original TV series and an = animated cartoon series from 1973-74. Series creator Gene Roddenberry conc= eived a second TV series, but after the success of Star Wars the project w= as upgraded into this lavish feature film, which reunited the original ser= ies cast aboard a beautifully redesigned starship U.S.S. Enterprise. Dougl= as Trumbull's visual effects are astonishing, and Jerry Goldsmith's score = is regarded as one of the prolific composer's best. This three-disc set in= cludes the newly restored director's edition of the feature film.

Simon West's film is a= mbitious in scope and scale, and filled with the kind of globetrotting adv= enture that could make Jolie the best thing that's happened to action movi= es since Indiana Jones.

Outnumbered four to one, = the Americans won a surprise victory and shattered the backbone of the Japa= nese Imperial Navy. World War II buffs will appreciate this 1976 film for i= ts attention to historical fact (especially the way in which fate and a few= bad decisions turned the tide), as well as the generous use of actual batt= le footage. The all-star cast includes Robert Mitchum, James Coburn, and Cl= iff Robertson.

This underrated Steven Spielberg film poignan= tly follows the World War II adventures of young Jim (a brilliant Christian= Bale), caught in the throes of the fall of China. Bale's transformation, f= rom pampered British ruling-class child to an imprisoned, desperate, nearly= feral boy, is nothing short of stunning. Also incredible are exceptional s= ets, cinematography, and music (the last courtesy of John Williams) that en= hance author J.G.

Planet of the Apes Icon Mark Wahlberg, Hel= ena Bonham Carter, et al. Billed as a "reimagining" of the original 1968 f= ilm, Tim Burton's extraordinary Planet of the Apes constantly borders on gr= eatness, adhering to the spirit of Pierre Boulle's original novel while exp= loring fresh and inventive ideas and paying honorable tribute to the '68 sc= i-fi classic. Burton's gifts for eccentric inspiration and visual ingenuity= make this a movie that's as entertaining as it is provocative, beginning w= ith Rick Baker's best-ever ape makeup (hand that man an Oscar !), and continuing through the surprisingly nuanced performances and breath= taking production design.

In the tradition of such obsessively driven direc= tors as Erich von Stroheim and Werner Herzog, Francis Ford Coppola approac= hed the production of Apocalypse Now as if it were his own epic mission in= to the heart of darkness. On location in the storm-ravaged Philippines, he= quite literally went mad as the project threatened to devour him in a vor= tex of creative despair, but from this insanity came one of the greatest f= ilms ever made.

Macy, et al. Jurassic Park III is a satisfying popcorn adventure,= and eight years of advancing computer-generated-image technology give it a= sharp edge over its predecessors. The movie refines Michael Crichton's ori= ginal premise, and its dinosaurs are even more realistic, their behavior mo= re detailed, and their variety--including flying pteranodons and a new vill= ain, the spinosaurus--more dazzling and threatening than ever. These advanc= ements justify the sequel, and it's a thrill ride with impressive highlight= s, adequate doses of wry humor, and an upbeat ending that's corny but appro= priate. Releases December 11.
