Full reviewNot the most original film you'll see this year, but Ghost in the Shell's visually stunning sci-fi world demands to be seen on the big screen.
Full reviewJohansson is always convincing as the robot Major ... Her acting style is just elusive or unreadable enough to make her plausible here.
Full reviewOne of the most visually and sonically spectacular films I've seen and heard in a year or more.
Full reviewEven though there's an enormous amount to look at and digest, little of this film is truly memorable or thought-provoking.
Full reviewNo amount of whispered, meaningful monologue can hoodwink the viewer into believing that this movie is anything more than an shapely, empty vessel with delusions of existential sci-fi grandeur.
Full reviewA heavily computer-generated enterprise with more body than brains, more visuals than ideas, as if the original movie's hard drive had been wiped clean of all that was dark, poetic and mystifying.
Full reviewSo heavily derivative it doesn't feel like anything new, and there's little depth beneath that slick surface. But it's solid and attractive, at least, with a retro appeal to its cyberpunk stylings.
