Her dream reveals to her that the Phantoms are the spirits of dead aliens brought to Earth on a fragment of their destroyed planet. Aki and the Deep Eyes squad succeed in finding the seventh spirit as Aki's infection begins to worsen and she slips into unconsciousness. However, this revelation leads Hein to incorrectly conclude that she is being controlled by the Phantoms. Aki is concerned the cannon will damage Earth's Gaia (a spirit representing its ecosystem) and delays the use of it by revealing that she has been infected and the collected spirit signatures are keeping her infection stable, convincing the council that there may be another way to defeat the Phantoms. Upon returning to her barrier city, Aki joins Sid and appears before the leadership council along with General Hein ( James Woods), who is determined to use the powerful Zeus space cannon to destroy the Phantoms. It is revealed that Gray was once romantically involved with Aki. Aki is searching for the sixth spirit in the ruins of New York City when she is cornered by Phantoms but is rescued by Gray Edwards (Alec Baldwin) and his squad 'Deep Eyes', consisting of Ryan Whittaker (Ving Rhames), Neil Fleming (Steve Buscemi) and Jane Proudfoot (Peri Gilpin). After being infected by a Phantom during one of her experiments, Aki Ross (Ming-Na) and her mentor, Doctor Sid (Donald Sutherland), uncover a means of defeating the Phantoms by gathering eight spirit signatures that, when joined, can negate the Phantoms. The surviving humans live in 'barrier cities', areas protected by an energy shield that prevents Phantoms from entering, and are engaged in an ongoing struggle to free the planet. By physical contact Phantoms consume the Gaia spirit of living beings, killing them instantly, though a minor contact may only result in an infection. In 2065, Earth is infested by alien life forms known as Phantoms. The film has been called a box office bomb and is blamed for the demise of Square Pictures. Due to rising costs, the film greatly exceeded its original budget towards the end of production, reaching a final cost of $137 million, of which it recovered only $85 million at the box office. The Spirits Within debuted to mixed critical reception, but was widely praised for the realism of the computer-animated characters. Square intended to make the character of Aki Ross into the world's first photorealistic computer-animated actress, with plans for appearances in multiple films in different roles. It took a staff of 200 about four years to complete The Spirits Within. A render farm consisting of 960 workstations was tasked with rendering each of the film's 141,964 frames. Square Pictures rendered the film using some of the most advanced processing capabilities available for film animation at the time. Aki and Sid must fight against General Hein, who wishes to use more violent means to end the conflict. The Spirits Within follows scientists Aki Ross and Doctor Sid in their efforts to free a post-apocalyptic Earth from a mysterious and deadly alien race known as the Phantoms, which has driven the remnants of humanity into 'barrier cities'.
