First 5 minutes of Ghost in the Shell Movie.

jmd says...

In this Ghost in the shell movie, cybernetics are just exploding. The guy on the right is pitching his major cybernetics company and he was showing the forign president on the left that their cyberbrain enhancements allowed a 4 year old to learn how to speak french AS she was singing a french lullaby. Normally this would be nothing in the GitS universe, but in the movie this is cutting edge tech. I actually disliked the lit up wire node going to his brain because cyberbrains were never a "visual" thing, but this movie may be before cyberbrains became so advanced. Infact the black president may not even have a cyberbrain, and this is simply an audio/visual transmitter implant.

The only thing I don't like is this is "too" origin. GitS was awesome because it started you in the future utopia, and then used half of its season of episodes to explain indirectly new technologies and how sociologies have changed. Cyberbrains were very commonplace and full cybernetic bodies were available to anyone who had the money, like rich people and the military. Saddly that means alot of things the tv series would have will not be in the movies because the technologies has not come yet.

however as redsky mentioned, they do seem to be latching on to the source material a lot (and aside from the revised thermocamoflauge suit.. oh and Batou's eye implants are just normal eyes and apparently his iconic lenses are just for show) so I am still hopeful. Oh, ok, one other nitpick. Somehow Kusanagi managed to spend like 10 seconds outside the windows shooting in through multiple windows before crashing through. She has no gear or technique to "stop" from her free fall, the only thing she can do is dive through the window.

Why must American films explain everything?

What real person would sit across from someone over dinner and explain how their cell phone works, or how their child learned math on an iPad? Why would that change in the future? I hate this American need to assume the audience is stupid and needs to be spoon fed every bit of information.

IMDB says so. Also here the producer is saying they're mixing in 2nd GIG with the origins story episode from that season. If you've watched it you'll know what I mean:

If they're quoting episode names then they at least familiar with the source material, so that's a plus.

Really? That's kuze? But this wasn't part of his storyline. Hmmm... I mean he could be some new character who is also fully cyber which seems to be the rarity in this film. Did you see an cast list to verify the name?

I completely disagree. Remember the comparison below was made with the very limited available video from the trailers and yet it holds very true to the source materiel.

The more I see about this film the worse it looks. Every new trailer just shows me the same terrible western take on comic-based films, with total disregard for the source material where it counts.

They are one of the major systems for carbon storage, and because ph is a major factor that determines how their "shells" are made, they can also tell us how acidic the oceans were.

Indestructible Coating?

SeesThruYou says...

Not so much a "coating" as it is a shell, or even a container of sorts, around the watermelon. It's like a half-inch thick or more, so, for me at least, it's not as impressive as first implied by the title.
