The story is merely average by sci-fi standards -- something about good guys, bad guys, aliens, spirituality, and the fate of the earth -- but this gorgeous curiosity, inspired by a popular videogame, is a great wow. The computer-generated ''human'' stars (voiced by cell-based stars including Ming-Na, Alec Baldwin, and Ving Rhames) are impressive enough; the big-picture images are exquisite in their psychedelic complexity. ''Fantasy'' is cinematic art of the future taking its first baby steps today.
