If you love action movies with psychological reflections, then I think you'll love this movie or at the very least be intrigued by it. Ghost in the Shell presents us with a journey of self-discovery in a technology-is-king-universe - where minds can be hacked and humans enhance themselves in forced evolution. From the very beginning we are presented with the birth of a cyborg, The Major. Being the lead soldier of Section 9, her and her team are a special forces unit that attempt to take down a cyber-hacking terrorist known as Kuze. Johansson completely owns the role, giving us this tough as nails super soldier while her ghost is still becoming accustomed to living and breathing naturally in this new cyborg shell. Kudos need to be given to The Major's Boss, Aramaki and her second in command Batou. Both play a huge role in The Major's development and give us some great dialogue that compliment her on her journey. One special direction was having Aramaki only speak Japanese while everyone understands him. In this tech world of telepathy and communicators, one's personal barriers of communication and the self has been torn down. As in the original property, deep diving and reflecting on what it means to be human are all there. Unlike the original property, we see her grow from stilted walking and blank expressions to using more comfortable reflections with those she trusts. Seeing her develop more confidence and eventually progress to her badass is refreshing. There is a lot to digest if one chooses to discover it. In addition, the villain Kuze serves as a beautiful foil to the ever evolving Major and their interactions really shift the movie into its own. The action scenes were excellent and the landscape and soundtrack of this dystopian world only enhanced the effect. - The 4K truly looks beautiful. Major props need to be given to the artists and Rupert Sander's direction. A Robocop clone or a cut and paste of the original anime/manga this is not. Ghost in the Shell presents us with its own uniqueness while still paying huge homage to the original property. What exactly constitutes the soul? What makes you human? What defines you? Can one live being transferred to another and is it really living? To what lengths do powerful entities attempt to control and train you to do their political bidding and by what means? The journey and control of one's self identity and evolution in a world of technological power is truly telling and a prophecy in its own right of what our world is coming to. Ghost in the Shell touches on all of these questions and more, and in my opinion delivers.
