In the future, human organs are enhanced by the cybernetics technology developed by the powerful Hanka Robotics Corporation owned by Cutter. Dr. Ouelet is the responsible for the development of the secret project 2571 of a full mechanical body to be connected to a human brain. She uses the brain of a young woman that lost her parents in a cyber attack as subject of a prototype. One year later, the woman is ranked Major and has joined the Section 9, an anti-terrorist division commanded by Chief Saisuke Aramaki, working with agents Batou and Togusa. She needs to use a medicine to help the integration of her brain with the mechanical body and has no recollections of her previous life. When Section 9 hunts down the terrorist Kuze, Major learns secrets about Hanka and the experiment she was subjected. What will happen next?
In the near future, Major Motoko Kusanagi (Scarlett Johansson) is the first of her kind: A human saved from a terrible terrorist attack, who is cyber-enhanced to be a perfect soldier devoted to stopping the world's most dangerous criminals. When terrorism reaches a new level that includes the ability to hack into people's minds and control them, Major Kusanagi is uniquely qualified to stop it. As she prepares to face a new enemy, Major Kusanagi discovers that she has been lied to: her life was not saved, it was stolen. She will stop at nothing to recover her past, find out who did this to her and stop them before they do it to others.
*This review is coming from a viewer who has not seen the original anime, it is solely based on the live-action film.*<br/><br/>I&#39;m an enormous fan of the science-fiction genre, the futuristic style, the technologically advanced atmosphere, etc., so Ghost in the Shell seemed right up my ally. There&#39;s some moments to be enjoyed, some story to explore and some great visuals, but by the time the credits were rolling, Ghost in the Shell showed it&#39;s as dull as it is pretty, devoid of any legitimate depth or feeling.<br/><br/>The film immediately presents a simple, but intriguing futuristic premise, very Blade Runner-esque, which was a bonus for me despite the obvious similarities. As the movie progresses, the plot thickens slightly and remains faintly engaging, but never once did it pull me in to the point where I was dying to see the next scene, the next revelation. The plot twits were underwhelming and the pacing was sluggish. I found it difficult to become invested in the main narrative, despite the more enticing setting and atmosphere. This is largely due to the disconnect between the main plot and the film&#39;s set of characters, between the two of which never develop any kind of profundity, never resonating with the emotional side of the story.<br/><br/>This is where the film suffers the most, the writing and portrayal of pretty much every character in the film. The characters are all lifeless and shallow, not an ounce of emotion was sparked during even the most serious, heartfelt scenes. This issue is twofold; one, the writing, which gives the characters corny and uninspired dialogue. And two, the acting. Every role, including lead actress Scarlett Johansson&#39;s Major, is nothing more than a cardboard cutout, bland as can be. There&#39;s no believe-ability in hardly any of the dialogue, the delivery of most lines are boring and unexciting. Ghost in the Shell tries to create characters to care about, but the execution was a complete misfire.<br/><br/>What the film lacks heavily in writing, character development and acting chops, it somewhat makes up for with some cool action sequences and eye-popping visuals. The cinematography is quite wonderful, and the sci-fi setting paves way for equally wonderful atmospheric tones, centered around the futuristic style. Despite her less than admirable performance, Scarlett Johansson&#39;s Major is fun to watch during her big action scenes, and the supporting characters, notably Major&#39;s sidekick Batou, deliver on helping make the action scenes feel exciting. <br/><br/>Anime to live-action adaptations are always a tough cookie to crack, and though I have not seen the original anime, I have a feeling there was a lot missing to this live-action version. Ghost in the Shell is a prime example that amazing visuals and some high-powered action scenes can&#39;t hide ugly writing, terrible characters and truly awful acting. The movie&#39;s title is, in the end, a perfect way to describe it; there may be a gorgeous looking shell on the outside, something to keep you distracted, but on the inside, it&#39;s nothing more than a ghost, hollowed out and baron, devoid of an identity or a soul, and this holds Ghost in the Shell back from being much more entertaining than it ended up.<br/><br/>5/10
Watched Ghost In The Shell Featuring Scarlett Johansson(Captain America:Civil War) as The Major , Takeshi Kitano(Aka medaka ) as Chief Daisuke Aramaki, Michael Pitt(Criminal) as Kuze , Pilou Asbaek(Game Of Thrones) as Batou, Chin Han(Captain America:The Winter Soldier) as Han, Juliette Binoche(Godzilla) as Dr. Ouélet,Lasarus Ratuere(The Leftovers) as Ishikawa, Yutaka Izumihara(Unbroken) as Saito, Tawanda Manyimo(The Rover) as Borma, Pete Teo(Talentime) as Tony , Rila Fukushima(The Wolverine) as Geisha and Peter Ferdenando (Doctor Who) as Cutter. This film was so cool i felt like I watching a live action anime Although the characters weren&#39;t developed fully it was great I did like Batou and Scarlett Johansson was perfectly casted also She brought gravitas and complexity Like Tilda Swintons The Ancient One from Doctor Strange, though the films villain *Spoliers* Cutter *Spoliers* comes off a bit Overtop sometimes enjoyed the Blade Runner feel to I enjoyed I just think Critics just don&#39;t understand Anime this was thought provoking as well , I hope studios adapt more Anime to Live Action wouldn&#39;t mind seeing Princess Mononoke Live Action ,A Good Live Action Anime Amazing Costume Design from Kurt &amp; Bart(The Hunger Games:Mockingjay Part 2 ),Cinematography By Jess Hall(Transcendence ), Screenplay By Ehren Kruger(Transformers:Age Of Extinction),William Wheeler(Queen Of Katwe) and Jamie Moss(Street Kings) , Music By Clint Mansell(Black Swan) &amp; Lorne Balfe(Terminator Genisys) and Direction By Rupert Sanders(Snow White And The Huntsman) A Good Live Action Anime 7/10
Whatever philosophical nuggets were lurking amid Oshii’s tangled plotting, they surely merited closer consideration by a filmmaker who wasn’t just trading in gloss, and doesn’t merely regard human beings as elements of design.
Several details and approach differ from the original anime. The Ghost in the Shell franchise is based off of a manga (comic), and so the films and series and even video games have all taken creative license from the original source material.<br/><br/>Making a live action film made certain styles and approaches to the physical rendering of the world impractical resulting in many visual differences to the new film that imbue an 80&#39;s cyberpunk feel similar to that of Blade Runner.<br/><br/>Another difference is that the storyline is a blend of several of the existing series, and does not follow the same storyline as the original film. Characters and back story are predominantly drawn from Stand Alone Complex 2nd gig, Stand Alone Complex, Arise and the original film.<br/><br/>The degree of violence and swearing in the original film is on a completely different level from the live action film. Creative camera angles obscure the genitals of the characters, and very little swearing is present in the new film.<br/><br/>There is no question that this is a Ghost in the Shell story, but in many ways the philosophy is simplified and the pace is much faster than the original anime. In the Ghost in the Shell stories, the Major has a completely prosthetic body. Although written and published in Japan, the original comic and some of the series show the Major in several bodies, and at times without a body entirely. It is believed by many that the artist&#39;s rendering of her prosthetic body was deliberately ambiguous in its ethnicity, while her &quot;ghost&quot; (the spirit that makes up her character) is also of obscure origin. It is assumed that as the stories largely circulate in the region of Japan and east asia, that her original form was likely Japanese, though the Major speculates at times that she may be synthetic all-together; this is all a part of the philosophy discussed in the stories.<br/><br/>In the live action film, the Major is given a Japanese origin for her ghost.
