adonis98-743-186503 In the year 2027, a year following the end of the non-nuclear World War IV, a bomb has gone off in Newport City, killing a major arms dealer who may have ties with the mysterious 501 Organization. Public Security official Daisuke Aramaki hires full-body cyber prosthesis user and hacker extraordinaire, Motoko Kusanagi, to investigate. If you're new on this kind of stuff there's a 99% chance that you might hate this film but if you give it time and try to get inside the meaning of it you might actually enjoy it. Ghost in the Shell: The New Movie is not exactly a masterpiece for sure and it does have it's flaws mostly with the story that it does get confusing as some other reviewers said but the overall animation, characters and action was quite enjoyable and for a newcomer as me in this Franchise i found the movie to be very good and i had fun with it but even tho with it's story problems it does deliver on what it was meant to be from the start. (9/10)

kostaspap-01311 I gave the movie 5/10 because I was even confused by the rating system.I watched the movie with my friends and popcorn. We didn't even run out of popcorn because of our effort to comprehend. In the end we were so confused that we watched Pewdiepie and everyone liked it.Plot: All of us agreed that the prime minister died. Then things got very weird. I strongly believe that the OBC was right to get in a war with EDF for gaining control over the FGT. Everyone agreed, so then we did the YMCA.I am also confused about the cyborgs. Can they have sex with each other? Not clear. Can they have babies? Not clear. Do they have cyber-penises? Not clear. The main character looked kinda cute, yet I am not sure if our relationship is serious, since my mother doesn't approve Japanese people - they freak her out.Btw all Japanese people looked like Americans. I find this culturally offensive - most anime are euro-centric and anti-feminist. Still, I like them a lot.

quincytheodore Ghost in the Shell is one of the most enduring and beloved anime franchises, also widely known for inspiration for the Matrix. It's also one of the most reworked franchises, with many iterations and alternate versions, which aren't entirely accessible for some viewers. If one can pass this hindrance, the literal New Movie possesses high quality sci-fi with excellent artworks and voice acting.Plot is a continuation from the most recent Arise: Alternative Architecture TV animation, which is television version of Arise four movies. If all of these etymologies confuse you, it's all right, this series is known for its complexity. Arise itself is a new rework, thus the artwork might not look like old version, especially the slimmer protagonist Motoko Kusanagi.While this is not so out-of-the-world like many previous iterations, it's not easily available for newcomers, even for fans who didn't watch the Arise version. It's skimped on many narratives and character introductions. It certainly doesn't have "previously on" segments, so this can feel alienating, especially when the movie has many specific jargon and terms associated with the plot.Fortunately, the sheer production is brilliant enough to compensate for the inaccessibility. The world Motoko lives on is very splendidly done, it's also the world with prejudice, not for skin color but for the prosthetic parts one wears inside. Motoko is born fully augmented, making her a special operative. The same technologies are also used on different aspects like stealth, warfare, and even communication with virtual private chat, so the characters might seem speaking telepathically.The visual is very aesthetically and thematically pleasing. It's a futuristic setting, but not so far off that it becomes unidentifiable. There are tons of cultural and urban scenery, some of which look utterly gorgeous, even those in brief scenes. Bits of graphical details scatter on the vista, as nifty foundations for intriguingly futuristic world.Aside for the immense amount of details, action is also fluid and inclusion of 3D effect looks admirably fitting. Voice actors do wonderful jobs here, especially the veteran Maaya Sakamoto who delivers wide range of emotions, there are subtle variations even with the stoic character.For fans, this is a nice continuation of new series with polished execution. For newcomers, it's almost akin to watching The Matrix straight on its second movie, rather overwhelming but can be still pleasing due to its sheer production.
