+8
For the sake of curiosity I watched this thing. It's a crappy science fiction movie: mediocre special effects, cardboard sets, cringe inducing writing and TV quality direction. It claims to be based on Ghost in the Shell, the manga, but in actuality the only things it shares with it are the names of some characters and that it features cyborgs. By the way, in this movie the characters are very, very stupid, it is clear from the movie's writing that the people who made this do not understand the basic thematic concepts of the manga or the classic Oshii's movie. Basically, the manga exposes the concept that body and soul are separate through the inner struggles of people whose physical bodies were replaced. Instead the plot of this movie is more like a poorly executed version of Robocop.
While most of it was mediocre some parts of the movie were so bad that I almost felt painful watching it. Rating 3.5/10.
