Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

auvokarhumaa I saw the original anime in my teens and have to say that wasn't utterly impressed back then. The plot was confusing and dragged a bit as far as I remember, propably should see it again sometime. As for this new live version I was blown away going into it with no high expectations. This was very streamlined stylish and thought provoking movie. Everything was just right; from set pieces to fashion forward costume design, music, acting and cinematography, all performing at top level. I enjoyed this movie tremendously and have to wonder if there is some foul play at the rating of this future classic here on IMDB...

gborkhataria Clearly, the design team are talented and this film is indeed a visual spectacle, but the director clearly doesn't understand why the anime was special. This barely touches on the core themes of the original, it is hollow, beautiful, but hollow.

MLDinTN The plot to this movie was so stereo-typical and easy to figure out. There was no suspense to anything. You knew who the bad guys were and what they were lying about. And I didn't really care for the look of the film. For example, the look of Major's robot body was just weird, like she's wearing nude spandex. And the sci-fi aspect of this was just boring, half human half machine. That's not original. And of course you knew there had been many experiments. Basically, Major, half human and half machine is trying to figure out her origins and meets someone whom came before her who is killing the top scientists at this company that is developing the AI robots. Soon, she learns his reasons for murder aren't that sinister and that there are others whom are more evil.FINAL VERDICT: Skip it, the story isn't that great.

Donald Carter I cried because this shows America has lost its creativity, its desire for art, its taste for leading. This is just another boring pain-by-the-number incomprehensible waste of film where everything happens because CGI exists not because it means anything or should be physically possible. And I just don't have enough words for a world in which Scarlet Johansson is considered an actress or a person anyone should pay for anything. Imagine if an actual actor from another era met Johansson. What would the actual actor think?
