My comments: Creepy. Good Creepy. Delicious creepy. Gross. Violent. Based on a Japanese comic book. I don't remember much of Blade Runner - I saw it a zillion years ago - but the setting reminded me of what I remember about it. You couldn't be bored with this movie, because you're thinking all the time, figuring out how pieces fit together, figuring out what's going on. And it all comes together quite well. I do enjoy science fiction, and I did enjoy this movie. I bet it cost a bundle to make, the credits at the end for all the animation --and creepy stuff-- went on and on.
RT/ IMDb Summary: In the near future, Major (Scarlett Johansson) is the first of her kind: A human saved from a terrible crash, who is cyber-enhanced to be a perfect soldier devoted to stopping the world's most dangerous criminals. When terrorism reaches a new level that includes the ability to hack into people's minds and control them, Major is uniquely qualified to stop it. As she prepares to face a new enemy, Major discovers that she has been lied to: her life was not saved, it was stolen. She will stop at nothing to recover her past, find out who did this to her and stop them before they do it to others. Based on the internationally acclaimed Japanese Manga, "The Ghost in the Shell."
