Ghost in the Shell

Movie

Category: Action, Sci-Fi, Psychological

Synopsis: In the year 2029, advances in Cybernetics allow people to replace nearly all of their body parts and organs with robotics. Through these prosthetics, the weak are made strong, and the dying are given new life. Public Security Section 9 of Niihama City (a fictional setting inspired by Hong Kong), a diverse team of AI, cyborgs and unmodified humans, must investigate cases of corruption and terrorism. Major Motoko Kusanagi has full-body prosthetics, owing to a childhood accident. She, her second in command Batou and information specialist Ishikawa have been assigned an important task: to investigate a hacker known only as "The Puppetmaster." But as Motoko and her team discover, things are never so simple.

Review: I was kinda sceptical about this movie but it wasn't bad at all.

But besides this movie I don't know anything about the "Ghost in the Shell" franchise, so I was kinda lost. As a viewer we have to figure out the plot ourselves without any explanation.

Anyway... Graphics are amazing! I love old artstyle so for me it was really great and pretty.

Music is also a strong point. Choral elements were really climatic and comforting at some point.

Characters weren't that good for me. They were really blank. But maybe it's a good thing? They're cyborgs after all.

Is this movie worth watching?

Well if you're into sci-fi stuff "Ghost in the Shell" is definitely for you.
