Product Description

Product Description

Three years after the events of "Ghost in the Shell", little has changed at Section 9 except for the glaring void left by the disappearance of Major Motoko Kusanagi, and no one is more affected by this than Batou. In her absence he has become more sullen and withdrawn than ever, taking an interest in philosophy and finding joy only in the company of his pet basset hound. When a string of shocking cases comes to light involving a certain model of androids manufactured by the LOCUS SOLUS company butchering their owners, Chief Aramaki assigns Batou and Togusa to investigate. Batou arrives at one such crime scene and shoots the android just as it is seemingly attempting to destroy itself. When Batou questions why Section 9 is involved in this particular case, Aramaki explains that none of the families of victims have filed lawsuits against LOCUS SOLUS, and that several of the victims were connected with the government.

2.0 out of 5 starsGhost in the Shell 2.0 redux: a version of a great anime gone wrong
By Sir Morosus on 8 Dec. 2012
Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase
I bought this blu-ray of Ghost in the Shell 2.0 because after hearing from a lot of people this is pretty much considered a movie every anime lover should give a look, it spiked my interest immediately. However, in more than one way this blu-ray turned out to be an huge disappointment. First off, the movie has been redone (hence the added "redux"), meaning some scenes are based on CGI (Computer-Generated Imagery) and other parts are at most slightly adjusted. This basically boils down to a very apparent discrepancy between the original handdrawn animation and the computer based 3D animation. It makes for an incredible jarring experience, and frankly the computer animated scenes are not that great. The famous opening scene is one of the scenes that they sadly decided to completely redo with CGI. This "redux" version becomes even worse, namely it does not fare any better with the parts that are still based on their original counterparts. That is, the handdrawn animation has been slightly altered in such a way that most colors look completely washed out. It gives the image quality a certain indistinctive blurry feel.
First I thought, well allright this is not a particularly great version of this movie, I will go and watch the original version (from 1995) that has been added as an extra to this blu-ray. To my dismay, and disbelief to be honest, this version seems to resemble something that has been extracted from a VHS that one of the producers of this blu-ray still had lying around in his attic. It is riddled with all kinds of specks, the image is simply blurry and the sound quality is plain awful. The only positive thing I could mention about the blu-ray release of the 2.0 redux version is the audio. Presented on a 6.1 DTS Master Audio track it truly sounds great.Read more ›

3.0 out of 5 starsGreat transfer...but...
By James Cameron on 22 Aug. 2010
Format: Blu-ray
One of my all time favourite films on blu-ray - nerdy heaven right?...well, only sort of...this 2.0 redux edition makes a number of George Lucas style alterations which simply don't fit in.

VIDEO:
Clean, crisp and superb transfer with nice clean subtitles (if like me you prefer to watch the film in it's original language) but this great transfer is somewhat ruined but the addition of brand new CGI segments in most of the scenes. While this does help to intergrate the film into the look of the sequel and the series "Stand Alone Complex" is does stand out like a sore thumb and for those "MENT TO BE" purist, this will be a major source of message board flameing.

AUDIO:
Both Japanese language track and the Manga English dub are beautifully presented in glourious digital surround sound with a great mix. Not much else can be said.

EXTRAS:
There are the usual mix of extras that one has come to expect from Manga releases and they will stand on their own for those who are interested.

SUMMARY:
I personally don't like the CGI alterations, however I'm not going to let it ruin my enjoyment of the rest of this amazing film in full HD. I live in hope of a second release which will feature the original verison of the film, but this one will do for now.

1.0 out of 5 starsIf you've never seen this movie don't buy this version!
By Alex Williams on 15 Jun. 2013
Format: DVD
I like to think a movie should be a product of its time. Having seen Ghost In The Shell back in the 90's that how I like to remember it. I love this movie, its probably the best sci-fi ever! I hate when any movie gets remastered, but this is a classic, why tamper with it? When I watch this movie I like that it takes me back to a different time, when i watch this version it confuses me with the crappy newly added CGI scene, its not needed!

4.0 out of 5 starsOriginal version lacks remastered audio/video
By Jp Woods on 22 April 2010
Format: Blu-ray
If you're a GITS fan wanting the HD treatment of the original masterpiece then you have 2 choices, this or the far more expensive Japanese version.
The disk has 2 versions of the film on it, GITS 2.0 and the original. 2.0 features some newly created cgi scenes that competely replace the original animated ones, but these are only small in number, replacing a few key scenes and never lasting more than a few seconds.
The rest of the film looks and sounds stunning, lots of the 'net view' visuals have been changed from green to a golden yellow colour and there are other subtle enhancements that work well and add to the film. The cgi scenes feel a little disjointed however, never seeming to fit in seemlessly and it leaves me wondering why they bothered, nice but not at all necessary.

The reason why I have only given this a 4 star rating is because the original, and obviously superior version of the film lacks HD surround sound and remastered visuals, and compared to 2.0 it almost looks as bad as VHS quality. Why they couldn't have merged the HD video of the Japanese version with the new audio from 2.0 to create a difinitive original version in english is beyond me.
If you're a GITS fan this is well worth it, but get the Japanese bluray version too or at the very least one of the earlier DVD versions.

4.0 out of 5 starsNote that Amazon have pasted up the wrong synopsis for this film
By L.Moore on 26 Oct. 2010
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
I'm a great fan of GITS, and have seen most of its incarnations. The digitally-remastered version of the original is available as an "extra" on this DVD, and I think I prefer it to the "Redux" version, although the new CGI is interesting. It doesn't fit all that well with the original cell animation, though. For fans I'd say it was still worth a look, especially at a reduced price. But if you've never seen the original I'd go with that.

I agree with several others that, whilst the improved sound and visual resolution (and colouring) is welcome, the CGI just distracts from the flow of the movie. Don't be too put off though: it is worth watching, as the visual quality of the original was fairly low compared with current standards and it's nice to see it all looking brighter and clearer.

Note that Amazon have (as of Oct 2010 anyway) put the Synopsis for GITS2: Innocence rather than for GITS2: Redux, i.e. they give the impression that this is the recent sequel, whereas Redux is a re-working of the original movie. Not surprising given the obviously confusing names: both are called GITS 2 despite being a different product altogether. There are also several rather confusing editions of the two films: for example a Blu-ray double box set of both Innocence and Redux, which adds nothing to the individual DVDs except a bigger sleeve; the two movies, individually packed; the original is still available; and the separate Blu-Ray versions of each film. All appear to have the same review and synopsis regardless of which is which!
