Scarlett Johansson stars in the visually stunning Ghost in the Shell, an action-packed adventure set in a future world where people are enhanced with technology. Believing she was rescued from near death, Major (Johansson) becomes the first of her kind: a human mind inside an artificial body designed to fight the war against cyber-crime. While investigating a dangerous criminal, Major makes a shocking discovery – the corporation that created her lied about her past life in order to control her. Unsure what to believe, Major will stop at nothing to unravel the mystery of her true identity and exact revenge against the corporation she was built to serve.

    The visuals are on point but the story and themes are watered down to a point the point that it’s obvious the writers were scared of making the audience think.

    If you’re a fan of the original Japanese anime Ghost in the shell movie you’ll really appreciate this movie, there are differences between this movie and the original but it’s got amazing scenery that’s completely jaw dropping and the action and suspense are good and the acting is awesome and in my opinion Scarlet did a pretty good job and hope there’s a sequel one day! 👍👍😄

  • More entertaining than the original

    I’ve seen the original twice over the years. It’s okay but the slow pace and story don’t do much for me. I was prepared to hate this because of the whitewashing controversy but I was surprised by how much I liked it. One of the leads is an Asian male, the score is great, the visuals are incredible, and it’s fast-paced.

    Long time fan of the original, I found this version to be a good remake. The visuals are fantastic, it’s well acted. The film has a surprising grace to its action that is adapted well from its animated roots. I’m somewhat baffled by the reviews saying the nuance and meaning of the original aren’t there, they are. All in all I thought it was excellent, and really didn’t deserve the hate from either the racist camp (surprise.... The fact that Major is human/Japanese in soul alone is kind of the point of the movie) or the camp that swears up and down that they massacred the original (go watch the original then. It’s on iTunes. I’m glad they didn’t do a frame by frame reenactment).
