Movie Reviews of Ghost in the Shell S.A.C. - 2nd Gig (Complete Collection)
Movie Review: bad disks (Chapter 15),..skips 40 seconds
Summary: 4 Stars
My copy freezes at 07 seconds into Chapter 15 then jumps to 46 seconds later. If one watches the timer, one will see it did more then freeze. After it freezes you can back up to 8 seconds into Chapter 15 and continue. A few small things do happen in the during the jump. We checked out 4 copies and all were bad.
As for the movie , I am a big fan of Ghost in a Shell and love them all. And as for one reviewer, it is dubbed into English by them same crew.

My copy is NOT the Limited edition version but has the same flaw. I don't know if the other reviewer posted under the wrong version or both versions has the same flaw.

Movie Review: For The Fans
Summary: 4 Stars
I've been a fan of Ghost in the Shell and all it's iterations since I saw the first movie in the early 90s... it is a science fiction phenomena, and a sounding board for discussions of the heady topics of transhumanism, cyberization, and the information society.
But as entertainment, is it for everyone? Well, probably not. And having watched this latest entry I can't see someone who had never seen any of it's pre-cursors following this labyrinthine plot for very long without getting irritated and switching it off. If you're not a fan of anime, this movie certainly won't sway you like a Miyazaki movie might.
But to it's credit: thoughtful, dense science fiction, focused on a very real social dilemma of Japan (the growth of state-hospitalized elederly against a declining birthrate/workforce), some of the finest computer enhanced (the lighting and color schemes are brilliant) animation to date, excellent music by Yoko Kanno (as usual) and wonderful english voice acting. If you're collecting the series, come and get it! It's top-notch.
If you've never seen it? Well, I'd rent it, and if you like it, there's an excellent tv show I'd like to recommend... ;)
Movie Review: Did I get a bad copy? 5 for the movie 2 for the DVD
Summary: 3 Stars
I don't know if any of you have a similar issue but at the start of chapter 15 there is a 2 second layer pause on mine. My player has memory buffers to greatly reduce the time for a transition and I don't have this long of one on any other DVDs I own. Any way the movie itself is terrific with a great job by the dub team at Bandai. Thats why I give the movie itself a 5 and the DVD a 2 cause of the annoying pause in chapter 15. For a an average 3 stars.Movie Review: A Stunning Conclusion
Summary: 5 Stars
The plot-heavy story is back for one last, amazing story that pits us right in the middle of something terrible. Togusa is the new leader replacing the Major, after she decided to go off mysteriously. Batou is feeling estranged, and there are tons of new recruits for the infamous Section 9. A series of suicides leads Togusa and crew to the Puppeteer, an untracable entity with no motive at the time. The story gets quite more dramatic as problems seem to arise and stagger Section 9 to the point of having no leads for the Puppeteer problem. The story goes on forth like this and the last 40 minutes in probably the most intuitive and thought out since the first Ghost in the Shell movie came out. Although the first 2 movies and this have two varying storylines. This movie has felt like a true to life movie of Ghost in the Shell. All the voice actors have come back to give us the characters we have come to love. The animation is the same as the show was, although I call this a movie others could beg to differ and call it a long episode. All in all if you like Ghost in the Shell or anything that might have you guessing throughout an entire movie this is perfect for you.
