Ghost In The Shell: Movie
There is a scene in the climax of Ghost in the Shell So much has been said about Ghost in the Shell's Ghost in the Shell's Set in the year 2029, mankind's reliance on digital technology has seen the creation of cyborgs capable of thought and free will. An AI entity called the Puppet Master occupies cyber space in search of a new body to call its own, hacking into the world's most secure firewalls in the process. Major Motoko Kusanagi is an artificial being created by Section Nine to investigate cybercrimes. Assigned to investigate a despotic foreign operative, the two cases quickly converge, sending Motoko and her partner Bateau on the trail of the rogue AI. Much of the film's dialogue focuses on questioning of what it means to be human, primarily in the case of Motoko, who ponders if her memories and experiences are enough to categorize her as a thinking, feeling, individual. Brimming with abstract concepts set to a deliberate pace less reliant on sex, violence, and nudity, Ghost in the Shell And while it is recognized for its complex plot, just as much of the film's appeal can be attributed to its animation. Handled by Production I.G, Ghost in the Shell The Bluray Video and Audio: Anchor Bay's presentation is visually solid. The stylistic choice of utilizing a softer pallete contrasts well with the muted tones of the backgrounds. The image is crisp though some grain is minimal, but does not detract from the quality of the production. Similarly, the DTS-HD5.1 soundtrack effortlessly delivers a satisfying mix of robust sound effects and deep bass tones. Extras: This is where the release falls of a cliff. The steel-book case is nifty and the accompanying artwork is actually quite exquisite, but aside from a digital HD copy, this is a barebones release.
