Amazing movie that's a classic! With a really nice steel book!

Amazing movie that's still very enjoyable, reprint is worth it.

Best cyberpunk movie ever made. A must have for any collection.

Ghost in the shell is a true classic of anime awesome steelbook

So much has been said about this movie already, so I will only share some of my observations about what I got from playing it on my home system. As I don't have a 4K TV yet, I couldn't watch that disc, but the standard Blu-ray sufficed. For my first session I perused the Japanese Dolby TrueHD 5.1 track, and it has somewhat more definition of clarity than the original stereo track, although some of the dialogue could have been more aggressively mixed to keep it from being buried. The English subtitles were largely a direct port of the script used with older editions of the movie (with the exception of a line from Batou getting changed for no real reason, at one point). The picture overall was beautiful, except for some of the brighter computer screen images which looked a little oversaturated at times, particularly with complex graphics. The only possible disappointment was the use of The Passengers' song "One Minute Warning" in the end credits, which was used for the original American release of the movie back in 1996; because the original Japanese version of the movie is featured on the disc, they could have stuck with the original score by Kenji Kawai, but ended up not doing so. Apart from that, however, the movie holds up as well as it always has, as a true classic, and I would not hesitate to recommend getting it (again) despite any perceivable discrepancies.

Awesome cult movie. In the best 4k. Steelbook is stunning

Great anime, excellent 4k experience! Definitely recommend!

Great video and audio quality. Glad to own this anime classic in breathtaking 4k.

This a classic and a must have for any Manga/Anime fan.

This movie is too impressive to deny. Great price again.

Over all enjoyable 4k release, for an anime classic.

Wonderful art on the steelbook and a classic movie that is nice to finally have.

One of my favorite movies of all time. glad is no in 4k.

…but much of the art is on the slipcase, which came in bent and the steelbook itself seems lacking without the steelbook.

Good anime movie that I haven't seen in a long time!

Amazing movie, with an amazing steelbook cover art.

Already own this, but wanted the steelbook as I am a big GitS fan. Very cool artwork and reasonable price

Over the years, the original Japanese Anime film Ghost in the Shell has been released many times, each of which has had problems with the release. The new 4K release is not without problems but is by far the best release so far. The pluses - the colors are richer and has never looked finer, a bit of grain is still present but not distracting, and the English translation has been corrected and is the most accurate so far. Negatives - the film’s original end credit song—Kenji Kawai’s (Chant 3 – Reincarnation) has been replaced by the Passengers’s (One Minute Warning), so this release isn't true to the original film release. In addition the slip cover art has been censored, they've covered her nipples and masked her gun. So if you a fan of this movie this is the best version available if you can look past the original end credit song being removed as the improved picture, sound, and translations are far the best in this version than any prior release. Also there are new special features included on the 4K disc and the Blu-ray disc has the previous special features carried over on to it.

Another great release from Lionsgate ! Ghost in the shell is an interesting movie !

I already own the DVD but found out they did a BluRay variant. Picture is perfect and everything we know and Love about Ghost In The Shell
