cafe67 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 (edited) Scarlett johansson wears a body suit saw this last night, normal not 3d as a big fan of the original (although I haven't watched. It for a while) I enjoyed this alot from memory it's see,s to be a pretty faithful retellling scenes and cinema photography are very good - very blade runner plus plus, but it seems well done and nicely integrated rather than some flashy in your face. acting is good , tho it is predominately SJ movie , with handy support, tho apart from Juliet binochet i did really recognise many of the other actors. It's not a over blown Hollywood production for that I'm grateful. Fx are for the most good, again not overdone , tho oddly there does seem to be the odd bits which look obviously cgi. You don't have to have seen the original which now 22 years old to watch this movie. Soundtrack is suitably good too , traditional Japanese , pounding bass and similar to the last Tron music. Good stuff 4.25 stars did I mention SJ in a body suit Edited March 30, 2017 by cafe67 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundfan Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Yeah, seen the shorts and will go check it out. And SJ too. The yanks IMO don't often do remakes well, hope this is an exception. And I'm far from a sci-fi fan, but the original was classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cafe67 Posted March 30, 2017 Author Share Posted March 30, 2017 Probably a mix American/Japanese/Chinese Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kukynas Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 must see for those who like blade runner type movies, I fully agree with Dave's comment in first post, can't think of anything I could criticize, this goes into my sci-fi library...easily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelw Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 hollywood gits wasn't too bad as far as us remakes go. faithful to the original except in how deeply it explores the central question - what it is to be human. this new film takes a shallower approach - who am i. it will do until the real blade runner is released. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cafe67 Posted April 16, 2017 Author Share Posted April 16, 2017 I think you would and I think you would enjoy it on the big screen I think the episodes you are referring to are Stand Alone Complex, which put more story and political manoeuvring into the story. GITS is more straight forward 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monk Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Saw this today. I liked it. Admittedly I'm a GITS fan from the anime, I've never read the manga. Interesting how they have kept some scenes pretty much directly from the anime, but others are the same, but different. Wasn't a huge fan of the music though, much prefer the music in the anime. Fair chance I'll get the blu-ray when it comes out though ha. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cafe67 Posted May 13, 2017 Author Share Posted May 13, 2017 (edited) Interesting ,apparently the gits 2015 OST will not be released for some reason? https://www.change.org/p/paramount-release-the-ghost-in-the-shell-2017-soundtrack-by-clint-mansell-and-lorne-balfe-gitsost Edited May 13, 2017 by cafe67 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MultiplexMan Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Wife and I watched this last night and really enjoyed it. Plot - check Character development - check Sound track - check Settings - check There was so much detail - from the adverts, building designs, augmentation, vehicles... Takeshi Kitano is such a force. He takes hard to another level. I could not fault any of the actors or scenes. GITS was a refreshing change from the latest batch of movies I've seen. I'll definitely be watching this a couple more times. There was too much detail for me to process in one sitting. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
