Re: “Movie Review: 'Ghost in the Shell' Offers More Style Than Substance”

Ghost in the Shell has been a favorite of mine for many years and I see this single film as a good testament to that story. The movie does combine several elements from the various tv and feature anime films into a new story. This could be with the thought that there would not be a second film, or at least frees them to make another film completely new and not tied to any manga or anime progression. One part of the movie that stands out from the series and feature anime is the Major as a newbie. I can see why they chose this option but it does make it a bit odd for one year to have elapsed and for her to have such strong bonds with her team. Ghost in the Shell, like many good sci-fi stories, uses the nature of tech to portray new moral dilemmas. The first feature anime by the same name showed the central villain as a completely generated AI striving to live; the movie changes focus and looks more at the Major and her place in a new reality of being more or less human because of the body her mind inhabits.
