About

Ghost in the Shell: 30th Anniversary Remaster is an animated film directed by Mamoru Oshii, originally released in 1995. In the year 2029, a world blending Hong Kong, Tokyo, and New York yields to entropy and technocracy. Cyborg Major Kusanagi, a human-brained computer engineering specimen, hunts The Puppet Master, an omnipotent entity that may be a hacker or a virus and threatens world order. Her physical and existential journey is rendered in animation combining hand-drawn cells and computer-generated graphics.

Critics

7.8Very good

Critics praise the striking animation blending hand-drawn and computer imagery, the atmospheric score and the film's philosophical ambition and lasting influence. Some fault a dense, murky plot that demands patience, and an ending that can disappoint.
