About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want the original Ghost in the Shell story with some updated visuals and sound, but Not for you if mixed CGI and style changes pull you out of the mood.
Pros: classic sci-fi story; deep identity themes; still engaging action | Cons: jarring mixed animation; dated CGI inserts; unnecessary remaster
