Review of Ghost in the Shell (2017) by Alan G — 16 May 2017
GitS was playing at the cheaper theater so I saw that today... and it was... really freaking impressive. Like, top notch, and incredibly faithful to the original OVA!
There was a quote from it that really just, rang true for a number of reasons as well, about the importance of individuality apart from the group. I can't seem to find it with a google search, though, so I'll have to look later once it comes out on Blu Ray.
Anyway, I was expecting mediocre or something in poor taste, but it was a truly impressive, resonating film and just the most gorgeous Cyberpunk spectacle I've seen in ages.
ScarJo was fantastic, and elevated by pitch-perfect filmmaking.
I honestly don't think Blade Runner 2049 is going to come as close to brilliant as this movie was, but I'm still happy for double the Cyberpunk this year!
A+ If there are any flaws to this film, I was too enthralled by the greatness to notice!
