Having been a ghost in the shell fan since the original release back in 1995 since this new blu-ray retool edition was an interesting experience as i got to see what it would like if it was made today. And while I don't mind the new updated cg effects. I still prefer the original animation. Just something about how it looks keeps the soul of the animation. I feel the Cg areas sorta loses something from the process and it gets lost. On the plus side the animation here looks beautiful and truly amazing especially in HD and because of that I have to recommend this blu-ray if only for the updated remastering of the animation parts. The sound track also sounds amazing and if you have never seen Ghost in the shell ,but have seen the Matrix and love it or dark city or anything cyber punk sci fi thriller, then Ghost in the Shell is a must see movie.

1 out of 5 stars Horrible release of a wonderful movie   February 11, 2010

Let's get one thing clear: I love Ghost in the Shell. I have everything ever released on DVD. As far as Cyberpunk goes, this is it. Plain and simple.

Let's talk about what's wrong with GITS: 2.0

They took the 2008 Japanese Bluray and ran a blur filter over it. Want your DVD to look teh same? Turn the sharpness down to about 20%. Ta-da!

Added in new 3d animation that looks like something from a Playstation One or 2 at best. Low rez, crap quality that has artifacting and residue. We're talking Youtube video quality. I'm not impressed. On top of that, going from one time of animation type to another in mid movie is really painful.

On top of all that, deciding to change entire color pallets, substituteing Amber for Green. Ya that's great. Thanks.

This is worse than what Lucas did to Star Wars. Far worse.

It's crap.

I am very disappointed.

I rented this expecting an visual overall of the film. It's just about three scenes in full 3D CGI where as the rest of the film is simply "cleaned up". I didnt want anyone else mislead with this "2.0" edition. I'm glad that I did not purchase this again.
