In the near future, Major is the first of her kind: A human saved from a terrible crash, who is cyber-enhanced to be a perfect soldier devoted to stopping the world's most dangerous criminals.
In the future, human organs are enhanced by the cybernetics technology developed by the powerful Hanka Robotics Corporation owned by Cutter. Dr. Ouelet is the responsible for the development of the secret project 2571 of a full mechanical body to be connected to a human brain. She uses the brain of a young woman that lost her parents in a cyber attack as subject of a prototype. One year later, the woman is ranked Major and has joined the Section 9, an anti-terrorist division commanded by Chief Saisuke Aramaki, working with agents Batou and Togusa. She needs to use a medicine to help the integration of her brain with the mechanical body and has no recollections of her previous life. When Section 9 hunts down the terrorist Kuze, Major learns secrets about Hanka and the experiment she was subjected. What will happen next?
US sci-fi films temporarily fell off a cliff in the 90s, with only great visuals as the saving grace. Judge Dredd or Demolition Man come to mind, especially as both are as badly cast and acted as GitS. Let's address the universally praised visuals first. The film technically looks nice but none of it will stick with you due to the exceptionally bland setting. Seriously, where is this film set? The best looking bits also ape the source material nearly 1 to 1. Van Sant's Psycho "remake" comes to mind... Well done VFX crew but your hard work was sadly wasted. I am also not sure if the films even has music, a hallmark of GitS, but you occasionally get to hear 10 second bits by a choir with no rhyme or reason. Sigh. On to the cast. Kitano mostly sits on a chair and looks sleepy, Asbæk completely gets Batou (my favorite anime character) wrong and I will come to Johansson later. Let's stick with Batou and only the 2 generic villains gets something to do too. The writer apparently though that the audience is too dumb to understand the concept of his iconic cybernetic eyes, so the film gives a bewildering origin story for them. That's how dumb and random the script is. It also includes the term "lawless zone"! What this films doesn't have time for is to explain basic GitS terminology, while other elements are over explained to an unreasonable degree. The film also takes scenes and plot points from both anime films, and both TV seasons of SAC, despite the two having vastly different continuities. Act 1 and 2 are thus best described as GitS for the mentally impaired and squeamish, as the PG-13 proves about as unsuited as everyone expected. Many scenes even randomly stop and the film is badly edited too. To a degree that it becomes hard to make out what happens! On to act 3 and the protagonist. Johansson can act, just not in this film. She is less sleepy than Kitano but one of the strongest female characters in ALL of anime was reduced to a borderline incompetent combatant and most importantly a doe eyed idiot. All of this is "technically" supported by the predictable twist ending but it proves to be the worst bit of the film by FAR. Don't get me wrong. The first 100-ish minutes bored and irritated me but we are talking about a 4/10, not a 1/10. Yes, act 3 is THAT bad. Would you like it if a Batman film ended with the protagonist turning out to be a random teenager from the other side of the world? Something similar basically happens here. Motoko's military career and much more, a unifier for all GitS canons, just get taken away. WTF and the film flat out stops to "excuse" the (somewhat justified) whitewashing allegations by creating a vaguely racist black hole of bad ideas that can only appeal to someone who hates the source material or can't be bothered to think during a CG film. The only thing missing is romance sub-plot. No one in the film is capable of human emotions, so we dogged 2 bullets here. The films thus ends up being much worse than I ever expected and is best described as the "new" Fan4stic or Dragon Ball Evolution for comic films. Don't watch it if you ever cared about any of the anime versions and watch those instead if you never did! All 3 canons are great. This though ain't cyberpunk, it's cybertrash. The newly announced GitS anime (how convenient...) and hopefully Blade Runner 2 now need to "save" the cyberpunk sub-genre, while the promising Alita: Battle Angel will have to do the same for US / Life Action anime. Good luck Mr. Rodriguez!
The first thing I always ask myself when it comes to Sci-Fi films is minus the CGI would you still have a compelling story? The answer is yes. First off, the soundtrack couldn't be better. It haunts and glows audibly resonating perfectly with every scene. At least it did for me. Nothing worse than a bad soundtrack. Virtually everybody in the future has some form of hardware/software body modification, ranging from the exquisite to the grotesque. If your wealthy and well connected, you can afford the finest. If your poor, there are plenty of slimy street dealers selling modifications much like the low-lives who sling crack and meth in our world today. I found the idea of it chilling and very believable. Next, the mock-ups of life in the big city reek of Blade Runner, but who cares? Multiple level boulevards snake around skyscrapers and 800 foot high holographic advertisements. I wonder if people in the future will simply ignore these monstrosities much like we do now if you are chronically viewing content on sites like YouTube. After her role in the highly underrated movie 'Lucy' from 2014, I felt this was Ms. Johansson's perfect revenge role for a come-back in a similar character. That being a helpless woman forced into impossible circumstances, but eventually sorts things out and opens up a glorious can of whoop-ass on the powers that be. I also found all the supporting characters well developed and interesting. In particular the aging Japanese executive who's weapon of choice is a now ancient six-shooter revolver. That alone was a great touch. Overall a wonderful hour and a half of fun, thrills and intrigue. Child safe, too.
It’s the most staggeringly detailed and impressively realised sci-fi location since James Cameron welcomed audiences to Pandora, and one of the few recent blockbusters to benefit from the 3D treatment.
Several details and approach differ from the original anime. The Ghost in the Shell franchise is based off of a manga (comic), and so the films and series and even video games have all taken creative license from the original source material. Making a live action film made certain styles and approaches to the physical rendering of the world impractical resulting in many visual differences to the new film that imbue an 80's cyberpunk feel similar to that of Blade Runner. Another difference is that the storyline is a blend of several of the existing series, and does not follow the same storyline as the original film. Characters and back story are predominantly drawn from Stand Alone Complex 2nd gig, Stand Alone Complex, Arise and the original film. The degree of violence and swearing in the original film is on a completely different level from the live action film. Creative camera angles obscure the genitals of the characters, and very little swearing is present in the new film. There is no question that this is a Ghost in the Shell story, but in many ways the philosophy is simplified and the pace is much faster than the original anime. In the Ghost in the Shell stories, the Major has a completely prosthetic body. Although written and published in Japan, the original comic and some of the series show the Major in several bodies, and at times without a body entirely. It is believed by many that the artist's rendering of her prosthetic body was deliberately ambiguous in its ethnicity, while her "ghost" (the spirit that makes up her character) is also of obscure origin. It is assumed that as the stories largely circulate in the region of Japan and east asia, that her original form was likely Japanese, though the Major speculates at times that she may be synthetic all-together; this is all a part of the philosophy discussed in the stories. In the live action film, the Major is given a Japanese origin for her ghost. a5c7b9f00b
