3D at its best

This is a movie meant to be seen in 3D and it is a beautiful, exhilarating experience. The story itself is not so original but the movie more than makes up for that with it's visuals and action. I can't wait for James Cameron to bring more of Pandora to the big screen.

One of the greatest heist gone wrong movies ever

I recently had the chance to see this movie in the theater again after the remaster and was blown away by how amazing it looked, and especially how it sounded. Michael Mann is known for having great atmospheric soundtracks to his movies and this one is no exception. Plus the sound of all the action sequences in this movie is tremendous on any decent home theater surround system. See this movie if you haven't!! See it again many times if you have!!

beautiful, intimate, and creepy

slow pace but terrific story and well developed characters. not all is at it seems throughout this film. the locations and cinematography are amazing, and the indoor settings create a very specific mood and ambiance. sometimes dark and somber, sometimes a little brighter with a hint of (false) hope, but overall a little bleak I thought. at least for a couple of the protagonists; for one of them the message and outcome are quite liberating. all in a thoroughly enjoyable way.

2029 a female government cyber agent and the Internal Bureau of Investigations are hot on the trail of the Puppet Master - a computer virus capable of invading cybernetic brains and altering it's victim's memory. Created by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and codenamed Project 2501, this 'hacker' is actually a prototype virtual agent which has now defied it's makers by seeking asylum within a new host body outside of the electronic net. Now the two agencies must maneuver against each another in a violent, high-tech race to capture the omnipresent entity. GHOST IN THE SHELL took the world by storm exhibiting a new dimension of anime with unprecedented and mesmerizing cinematic expression. Seamlessly merging traditional cel animation with the latest computer graphic imagery, this stunning sci-fi spectacle broke through the boundaries of mainstream animation with detailed artistic expression and a uniquely intelligent story line. The film has gone on to inspire a generation of filmmakers and has become the most revered anime feature of all time. Veteran anime writer/director/producer Mamoru Oshii, working in conjunction with the animators at Production I.G. (BLOOD THE LAST VAMPIRE, KAIDOHMARU, KILL BILL) brought to life Masamune Shirow's vision. This excellent cyberpunk thriller was co-produced by Manga Entertainment and enjoyed both critical and popular success at the U.S. box office and was the first Japanese animated film to reach No. 1 on the Billboard Top Video Sales Chart.

It's just awesome. A visual feast with a very cool story well ahead of its time. This movie has been a major influence on so many others that came after. A must watch.

wasted potential
on September 19, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
This movie could have and should have been so much better. As it is, it isn't a bad movie, just not in the outstanding category that it could have been in. It was exciting to see DC's "Holy Trinity" together in a motion picture for the first time, and Wonder Woman didn't disappoint. One good thing I can say is I'm hopeful that the next installment of this franchise will be much better. This movie could have used an injection of at least a little bit of humor.

The True Dredd Movie

This puts that shameful Stallone movie from the 90's to more shame. I really enjoyed this movie as much more representative of the character made famous in the comics. Great action, great overall look and feel to this flick. Karl Urban the man, the law.

Beautiful Animation, Beautiful Cultural Influences
on July 24, 2015
Posted by: jmartinhurst
Verified Purchase:Yes
A beautiful film put together by one of our great directors working today, Guillermo Del Toro. I loved all the wonderful imagery and nods to Mexican folklore and pseudo-religion. Very kid appropriate and any "deaths" in the film are definitely not graphic, most of them happen off screen as the story and scenery shift from the living world to the land of the dead. A nice touch is that all the characters are rendered in an artistic style as if they were wooden dolls.

the best thing this movie has going for it is that it is very different than the original and not just a straight remake.
