Ghost in the Shell

I saw Ghost in the Shell.  It was an ambitious film.  Much like Blade Runner.  I know there was controversy over Scarlett Johansson's casting.  I think it would have been better served with an Asian actress.  Would it have done better? That's hard to say.  They wanted a named actor to sell the movie.  It explores themes similar to Blade Runner.  We saw how that ended up doing.  I liked it.  It is a visual overkill.  Sort of like Speed Racer.
