I didn't knew anything about this franchise and I was hoping for a nice sci-fi movie and I felt this was just meh.
was it trying to be deep? I didn't get it
was it trying to be different? It was predictably
was it trying to get new people into this material? Well, it lost me. I simply didn't get it
It has gorgeous visuals I give it that but the story feels very flat
One thing that bother me was the boss talking in Japanese and everyone else in English, why? It felt weird. I get it is "the future" but if they are in the same city shouldn't they speak the same language. I don't know maybe it's just me.
And WTF with the whitewashing, I mean if you already cast a white actress why would you point out that the "ghost" is actually Asian, does that mean that the best and most beautiful "shells" are white? because that's what it seems they're implying. I mean Scarlett Johansson did a great job with the part, but that detail f**k me up
In general it is a visually beautiful but so-so movie that lacks a little something more. Maybe this one is for people who know more about this genre and this franchise
