"And where does the newborn go from here? The net is vast and infinite."

Back when it was first released, Ghost in the Shell was looked upon as a thoroughly engaging and original piece of anime. Over 10 years on the film has lost next to none of its original impact.

But it's a shame the film is too convoluted, confusing, and rather boring at times too. I will admit t... read more

Amazing aesthetically; Music and action scenes especially.
The Scifi is cyberpunk with a bit more classical science fiction. Plot and characters are good but the major's choice to accept needed more explanation.

My 20 Sci- Fi Movies (20 movies items)

"Section 9 Department Chief Aramaki: What is it? Artificial intelligence? Puppet Master: Incorrect. I am not AI. My codename is project two-five-zero-one. I am a living, thinking entity that was created in the sea of information. Another great Japanese anime sci-fi film, this is another movie that came out before the matrix, this one is another cult fav, violent disturbing. Another philosophical film, asking questions that make you think. "

"19.12 PC Vähän liiankin sekavaa scifi-animea, josta luulisin pitäneeni jonkin verran, vaikka välillä tulikin oikeasti mietittyä, että 'mitä tässä nyt tapahtuu'. Lopetus oli äkillisyydessään mainio. "

"Ghost in the Shell is an ingeniously-crafted Japanese animation. It conveys a great combination of traditional and digital animation, while addressing vital philosophical questions about identity and mankind's role in an hopeless, corrupt world. Though not necessarily my favorite anime, its intricacy and importance to the steampunk genre are definitely apparent. "
