The first feature-length motion picture to use computer-generated imagery to create not only effects, props, and environments but also the human cast members themselves, this lavish science-fiction adventure follows closely on the heels of another video game-based film,
Tomb Raider (2001).
Ming-Na provides the voice of
Dr. Aki Ross, a female scientist in the year 2065, a time when Earth has been overrun by extraterrestrial phantoms borne of a crashed meteor. Humans have been pushed back to cities protected by barriers that keep the marauding space monsters away, but time is running out. Fatally infected by one of the ghostly beasts,
Ross seeks information about their purpose and physiology, assisted by her mentor
Dr. Sid (voice of
Donald Sutherland) and the Deep Eyes military squad of courageous
Captain Gray Edwards (voice of
Alec Baldwin). Tension develops between
Aki's quest to stop the alien onslaught through study and the more extreme solution favored by the vengeful, saber-rattling
General Hein (voice of
James Woods), who would destroy both the aliens and the Earth itself.
Aki ultimately comes to realize that the key to unlocking the mystery of the invaders lies within her own dreams.
