Josh H @LazyZombie25 Aug 23 Classic 90's anime with philosophy and violence is beautifully modified for the 2000s. The new 3-d animation is distracting at first, but it does improve the film. See more Liam D @Mediawatcher2003 May 16 It still the same well written science fiction thriller But the CGI new shots are little distracting from the beautifully crafted Hand Drawn animation See more Tom F 04/26/2024 Very impressive animation, but the appeal of anime for me is more along the magical and natural depictions, and stories about robots and technology don’t always click for me. See more 01/24/2021 Incredibly boring and hard to follow at times, I pretty much zoned out for most of the 2nd half. See more Julian K 03/28/2019 Ghost in the Shell 2.0 (Kôkaku kidôtai 2.0): 7 out of 10: The original Ghost in the Shell is an easy 9 out of 10 and is one of the best animes ever made. Ghost in the Shell 2.0 isn't a sequel to that original anime but a rerelease with some scenes redone in CGI instead of the original style. Not the entire movie mind you, that would be a conversation worth the candle Instead it is just a few select scenes. Does the new CGI look better? Um, not particularly as it consistently clashes with the other art style still present and, as a result, the CGI insertions bring the focus out of the story and instead to the constantly changing animation. What is strange is the CGI itself really isn't even that good. Not for today as of this writing of course but it really isn't that good for the time either. Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within this is not. The CGI simply doesn't blend in with the rest of the movie as you might have seen in Beauty and the Beast for example. Instead, it acts as if the film is changing its aspect ration at random. (I have suffered through the later in a few films and that is a nightmare.) In a way, this should be like remastering a videogame. One would think there is no way to lose on that front after all the graphics are better and the game plays smoother. Alas, it should come as no surprise that the videogame industry is chock full of remasters that screwed up the original. From the cheap and sloppy removal of fog in the Silent Hill 2 remaster to the simply foolish decision to replace running and gunning with a lame quick time event in the climactic battle of Lara vs. the T. Rex in the Tomb Raider remaster. Doing a remaster (okay partial half-assed remaster) like this is different than simply cleaning up a print. You are in danger of ruining the original for people. The good news is that the original Ghost in the Shell is available completely unmolested unlike those poor victims of Lucas. Bottom line skip this and see the original it is both the exact same movie and it is a much better experience.
