It is VERY beautiful and a joy to watch, however it is far from a cerebral exercise and I feel that it could have been a great deal better if the writers gave as much effort as the animators. I'll probably get lynched by the Otaku community for saying as much, but these are my genuine feelings towards Ghost in a Shell. A few twists and turns along the way - mistaken identities, traps laid in wait - help to keep the interest but are ultimately yet more reused plot devices from a thousand other movies. So far, so cliche.ĭon't get me wrong - it's pulled off in an entertaining way and it's certainly enjoyable, but I felt that far too much effort had been spent on cinematics that were used to cover up what is essentially a slow and oft-repeared story. The plot runs along a very familiar vein to anyone who has any experience in anime movies - a special police unit attempts to track down a secretive, seemingly all-powerful nemesis villain, coming into conflict with their superiors and each other along the way until the brroding heroine finally discovers something about herself that allows her to make a breakthrough in the case.
while the actual plot is unimpressive and the characters themselves are seemingly 2-dimesional and incapable of emotion beyond stunned awe or outraged anger. A LOT of time is spent poring over beautiful landscapes and limitless horizons, and the characters pull off amazing feats of combat and gymnastics without looking contrived or implausible. These are the highlights of the movie, but unfortunately I for one get the feeling that the director knows this too. Even the dubbing of American voice talent is done we ll, to the extent that one could easily foll oneself into believing that it was not originally a Manga production.

Similarly, the musical score is both beautiful and haunting - although at times one might consider it to be somewhat too 'traditionally' japenese for a movie based in the 'near-future', this is only a matter of taste and throughout it's hard not to be imopressed by the level of detail gone into simplesound effects and the sheer massive scale of the orchestra used to bring perfect pitch, mood and tone to each scene. Though newer and better methods have been developed and subsequently used on other anime in the last 3 years this film still LOOKS to be state of the art, with it's stunning landscapes, limitless horizons and perfectly choreographed characters. Without a doubt, Ghost in a Shell is one of the most beautiful films ever animated. So much pretty can't hide an average plot.
