Ghost In The Shell - The Movie - 2015 - 6/10
[Image: 2ytqlav.png]
Bit misleading title, “the movie” which the unwary might see as the ScarJo vehicle, still in pre-production.
This falls after the “Arise” series and leads into the 1995 classic.
Major Kusanagi, Batou, most the of the squad embroiled with terror plots, assassinations, cyber-virus.
Always with this series, a fair amount of talking and philosophizing about the collective datastream.
Visuals are great, if now perhaps a little familiar.
The plot bounds along, often shifting settings and narratives abruptly.
Enjoyable, though choppy.
Not the best entry for newcomers. Best to start with the '95 or wait for the live action - supposedly 2017.
