I think Ive seen/read most of the incarnations of Motoko Kusanagis stories. And while some have failed to hit the target. At least they did aim for the barn. This american version however, I have no idea on what they were aiming at. Unless it was the paycheck? Images from the franchise is mixed and jumbled here. But none of the thought about why those images were in the franchise seem to be of concern for the studio. As long as the trailer looks decen they can be happy with dollar bills.

La primer mitad de la película es... superficial, vacía, genérica. La segunda mitad es un poco mejor, pero no alcanza. Algunas cosas están bien, otras son más blade runner de lo que deberían ser, una especie de... MIREN QUE BUENO!!! SOMOS MÁS COPADOS QUE BLADE RUNNERRRR!!!! pero encima manejan mal la ciudad. En la pelicula de los 90's la ciudad es casi un ente vivo, aca son los mismos dos tipos de tomas todo el tiempo y sobre inundación de carteles holográficos que a a nadie le importan. Constantes referencias a la original, pero de alguna forma mal hechas ó con peor ritmo y referencias a otras películas de Mamoru Oshi, y el golpe bajo de usar la música original en los créditos del final, solo logran dar ganas de ponerse a ver esas otras pelis en maratón para bajar el regusto que deja esta adaptación.

Absolutely worth seeing as long as you don't expect it to be EXACTLY like some other reviewers seem to expect. The philosophy isn't as deep as the original, however in my opinion it isn't as shallow as many claim. The philosophical implications of humanity and machines is more subtle and implied, rather than outright stated. It is visually and symbolically appealing and among the better Hollywood movies of the year.
