    • Wow, they are lucky bastards. It's got to make out over here eventually, right?!

      The first one was amazing.....but, visually speaking, this is on another level-completely.

    • This looks amazing. It has apparently been upgraded in the CGI segments to bring it on level with Innocence in terms of animation style & it has a re-mastered Dolby 6.1 surround soundtrack from Kenji Kawai.

      Unfortunately there will only be a limited release of GitS 2.0 in 3 cinemas in the whole of the UK from 2-9 October: London's ICA, the Show Room in Sheffield & Broadway Cinema in Nottingham. All miles away from where I live :-(

      Urm, no. Surrogates is about people replacing their presence in the real world with robots (or so I've gleaned).

      Ghost in the Shell is where people are often given cybernetic bodies and their "ghosts" (brains, souls, whatever) are transferred completely into digital data that can be hacked, controlled, or transferred from body to body.

      I should also add that each series or movie covers an intellectual question.

      The first movie debated whether a brain could truly be transferred into data and thus into a new body. Is that immortality? How do you know if your memories are real or if you're just a creation of someone else?

      The second movie covers the idea of copies of a ghost. If someone has their data copies into multiple shells, is each of those shells a person? Is it immoral to destroy the copies? What makes the original truly the original?

      The first series explored the idea, of a phenomena without an original. It went over my head a little bit.

      The second series I never got to see all of, so I couldn't tell ya.

      All in all probably more brain food than anything Bruce Willis stars in.
