Ghost in the Shell
A theatre in New York was showing the 1995 film, so I watched it for first time on big screen on Wednesday, then saw the live action on Friday (first time I can remember going to a film on opening day in New York and having an almost empty audience).<p>I was prepared for a new interpretation of the material, and that never bothered me because between the films and TV series it&#x27;s always been a bit confusing to me if there ever has been a cannon story, but have always really loved the match of philosophical ideas of mind and the visual atmosphere (and the spider tanks are just great fun).<p>Opening sequence of this film I was really excited because it was visually stunning, but 5 mins later I was questioning if I should stay or leave because the dialog was really really bad.<p>I stayed because I really wanted to like this adaption but I felt like it was 2 hours of my life wasted, I wouldn&#x27;t recommend any of my friends to watch this, even later when it&#x27;s released digitally.
