Movie Reviews of Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence [Blu-ray]

Movie Review: Great movie, but English track sucks.
Summary: 3 Stars

I was really excited to see the English voice actors come back and do voice work. Problem is the English dialogue is unbalanced and incredibly loud while the great sound FX in the movie are muffled terribly. Luckily the Japanese track sounds great. If I had known the english track was so bad, I would have stayed with the DVD.

Summary of Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence [Blu-ray]

Studio: Infinity Resources Inc Release Date: 01/13/2009
Mamoru Oshii's landmark Ghost in the Shell (1995) largely defined the cyberpunk genre and influenced the Matrix films in the U.S. The long-awaited sequel continues the adventures of Batou, Major Kusanagi's former assistant, who was left behind when she disappeared into the cyber-realm of the Net. With his new human partner, Togusa, Batou investigates a series of bloody murders involving gynoids, robots with sexual functions. The case leads them to the headquarters of the Locus Solus company, where Batou uncovers the evil secret behind the creation of the gynoids. Innocence includes some staggeringly beautiful CG images, especially a parade depicting characters from Chinese mythology. Oshii contrasts this glittering beauty with a Blade Runner-esque dystopia. But even his skill as a director can't disguise the fact that the underdeveloped story and flat characters are far less interesting than the opulent visuals. (Rated PG-13: graphic violence, violence against women, brief nudity, profanity, alcohol and tobacco use.) --Charles Solomon
