Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within

Has anyone ever seen the movie Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within.  This is a computer-animated movie that takes place in the future.  Something crashes landed on our planet and bunch of people die, but they cannot figure out how.  People now live in protected domes that conceal the cities.  Anyway the whole movie dealt with the soul and spirit within things.  The concept was that each planet had a soul and humans as well as everything else was all connected to it.  The soul of the earth was supposedly dying, and it was the main characters mission to save the planet by collecting 8 spirits and when combined get rid of alien spirits.

I found this movie interesting; it draws a lot of connections between nature and how we all work off of one spirit.  For the most part I do not believe a lot of what was presented in this movie, but do not deny the possibility of an overarching spirit connecting everything.  I guess from a religious perspective, you would label this spirit as god.  Maybe we are all connected in some spiritual way beyond just scientific connection, such as the cycles of nature and how we fit into it.  If there is this spirit connecting everything on this planet would we be more concerned about our species disrupting it.  If god is this strong connection and cares about mankind as well as all other living things are we all doomed anyways?  Anyone else have some insight they can lend me?
