Movie Review: Ghost In The Shell Thursday 30 March, 2017
Ghost in the Shell is a 2017 American science fiction action film[8] directed by Rupert Sanders and written by Jamie Moss, William Wheeler and Ehren Kruger, based on the Japanese manga of the same name by Masamune Shirow. It In the near future, Major (Scarlett Johansson) is the first of her kind: a human who is cyber-enhanced to be a perfect soldier devoted to stopping the world’s most dangerous criminals. When terrorism reaches a new level that includes the ability to hack into people’s minds and control them, Major is uniquely qualified to stop it. As she prepares to face a new enemy, Major discovers that she has been lied to, and her life was not saved. Instead, it was stolen.
My Opinion: It was an interesting story line. The graphics were phenomenal. Very futuristic and hi-tech, since the move clearly is set in the future. Technology is super advance, so advance where you can’t decipher from a human or a robotic-humanoid. Scarlet Johanson plays Major the first robotic-humanoid made who still has her human soul attached to it. She is used as a weapon and an assassin. It’s kind of freaky, to see this storyline played out as it is the trans-human concept of merging robotic with human. Hopefully this will not be a thing of the future. It’s a lot of twist and turns and layers that unfold and its Majors being a machine but still fighting for her human soul. It was pretty deep and it was a lot of action, but I felt it was a literal soul searching film. No matter how advance technology gets or how robots will take over human jobs and positions, the human soul is still more valuable
Scarlett Johansson is such a bad @$$. I love her as Black Widow, and I know she’s going to be equally awesome as Ghost in the Shell.
I got so excited when I first saw the preview, and I still am! I think this is going to be yet another shining example of Scarlett and her mega girl power.
Totally awesome. I am a super nerd/geek, and I am chomping at the bit for this sci-fi action romp. It’s going to be AH-mazing.
Very interesting. I am a huge science fiction fan, I will out this on my list of must see movies! thanks for the info!
Ah, the concepts introduced in the movie do sound interesting. I wonder if my bf would see this with me.
Ghost In The Shell sounds like an awesome movie! Anything with Scarlett in it piques my interest.
I think my daughter read the Ghost in the Shell manga. I wonder if she is going to see this movie,
I am so excited to watch this movie! I know is full of action and suspense twists. Something me and my husband would enjoy watching. Scarlet Johanssen is perfect for the role.
I used to watch Ghost in the Shell when I was in junior high/early high school when I was going through a huge anime phase and I really enjoyed it. I’m not going to lie, I was a little confused with the casting choice of Scarlett Johansson (for obvious reasons) but the movie does look good! I’ll have to check it!
My husband and I saw the trailer for this when we waiting for another movie to begin a couple of weeks ago. We both agreed that Ghost in the Shell is one we really want to see.
What a fantastic movie. This is really interesting! I’m going to watch it soon.
I haven’t ever heard of this movie before the last month or two. It seems right up my alley!
Sure many people will go and see this movie just to watch Scarlett Johnson. Which isn’t a bad thing. Sounds like an action packed movie.
This movie looks very interesting! Marking this on our calendar!
I’m pretty sure my husband and boys are going to see this 😉 They LOVE movies like this!
I had never heard of this until yesterday when I saw a promo on tv. It looks interesting! I am a big fan of Scarlett so I will be checking it out!
How have I not heard about this movie until now. Sounds like an interesting story line for sure but anything with Scarlet is a yes in my book!
This movie seems like it has more than amazing special effects. The preservation of the human soul is a great theme and I would like to see how it is handled.
I do enjoy Scarlett Johansen’s acting. I’m usually not particularly fond of sci-fi films, but this looks interesting. The special effects used look marvelous. I might actually check this one out.
I think the special effects look amazing too. Special effects have come so far in the past few years.
I hadn’t heard of this movie before. The plot does sound interesting, and reminds me a little of something else I have seen but can’t think of the name of at this moment.
This looks like it will be a great movie!! I love me some Scarlett johansen!!
This sounds like a crazy movie! I saw previews, but I’ve never been able to get into this genre.
The movie Ghost In The Shell is something we can’t wait to see. We love science fiction movies and this one looks like it is action filled as well. Thanks for sharing your review.
Scarlett Johansen is just a great actress. I’m not a huge sci-fi fan, but I would watch this just because I love her acting.
This sounds like an interesting movie. I love movies that keep me engaged the whole time. This would be a great one for my husband and I to go and see in a date night.
I am not huge into science fiction movies but every now end then I see one I like. This looks like a good one and I also like Scarlett Johanson.
Ghost in the Shell sounds like a really good movie and we can’t wait to see it.
This movie is Lucy 2.0. I may have been interested more if they casted a different character other than Scarlet who played Lucy haha. This will be a movie I watch down the road when it’s on Netflix haha.
The trailer looks cool! A few of my coworkers said this was a good movie. Thanks for sharing!
We love Scarlett! We are headed to watch this new movie tonight!
