Review: A Fantastic 3D Cyberpunk Movie Experience - I really cannot fathom why this film is so derided. As a fan of the original anime, I came to this expecting to be disappointed—I was amazed to find just how wrong I was. A superbly crafted movie that carves out its own identity and ideas, without tarnishing or diminishing its source material. Scarlett Johanson gives a powerful, emotionally nuanced performance as Major, The rest of the cast is, likewise, excellent. My third viewing of the film was on my new home cinema setup: 5:1 surround with a Pioneer VSX-934 receiver, viewed on an Epson TW5650 projector. Honestly, a SUPERB all round movie experience. The attention to detail in the city environments is simply incredible, with wonderfully immersive use of 3D. The 3D Blu Ray is beautifully crisp, clear, and smooth—wonderful contrasts, depth of colour, and the sound quality is first rate. This version comes with the 3D Blu Ray and a Standard Blu Ray version, along with an UltraViolet code. Currently sitting at £3.52, it’s an absolute bargain, and frankly, deserves far more praise than it currently receives. As an all round package, this easily merits 5 stars for me. Anyone who enjoys well realised Sci-Fi in the vein of Blade Runner, Westworld, or futuristic anime owes it to themselves to check this film out. Future cult classic.
Review: Best approached with an open mind if you are already a fan of GITS - Hmm... being very familiar with the Ghost in the shell canon of work, (3 Manga volumes, The original animated film, the second animated film (innocence), Anime of 52 episodes (Ghost in the shell & Ghost in the shell 2nd gig), 3 animated films based on the series (Laughing man, individual eleven and solid state society), 4 animated films in the Arise series, plus an additional film hanging off the end of the Arise series), I struggled with the plot as it seemed to bounce around the several different parts of the entire canon of work, which caused me some cognitive dissonance as the story did not develop as I expected based on existing works and the way that the title character is referred to a "major" as opposed to "THE major" drives me nuts. That being said, I would have given it 4 stars instead of five because the aforementioned cognitive dissonance, but it is a very good film and therefore I gave it five. If you are unfamiliar with the existing canon, then it is a good film in its own right and you will not be disappointed. If you want to dig deeper into the back story, start here and then progress to the rest of the works. Probably the best order is as follows: Ghost in the shell Arise parts 1,2,3,4 - How the team was originally put together. Ghost in the shell the movie - This is the animated movie hanging off the end of the Arise series. Ghost in the shell original movie - this is what the film is roughly based upon. Ghost in the shell anime season 1 - 26 episodes Ghost in the shell 2: Innocence - This animated film sits nicely in the middle of the 2 animated seasons. Ghost in the shall Manga - 3 volumes Ghost in the shell anime season 2 - 26 episodes All in all, a good film that can stand alone separately from the rest of the work, but just scratches the surface on a collection of work that is probably one of the best anime series ever made, and therefore best approached with an open mind if you are already a fan of GITS.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nippy action film
*by S***E on 5 December 2022*

This was much better than I was expecting. Perhaps I brought low expectations to it and that is why it impressed me. The plot isn't Shakespearian but what do you expect of a graphic novel? Its two big plus features are Scarlett Johannson and its effects. No one looks into a camera better than Scarlett and she also acts her socks off in this. The film feels like Blade Runner and is on a scenic par with Ridley Scott's masterpiece. For reasons that escape me our heroine wears a skin-tight costume most of the time and this brings bizarre moments such as when she, with her kit off, is punching a tank. Yes, that happens. We live in strange times. I saw this when I was catching up with La Johannson on the same day that I saw her in Black Widow. This is a MUCH better film than that.
