Classic movie that still holds up today. A must watch for anime fans

Good deal and great film! One of the most entertaining anime films ever!

Been a while since i watched this. Seeing 4K was brainer its a great flick.

This is a great edition of one of the most groundbreaking movies in the science fiction and anime genres. The steel book has a great look and feel, for those into packaging. On to the movie. The video quality is better the. It has ever looked, with colors standing out a bit more with this dolbyvision encode, particularly the reds. They really jump out at you. Although the video quality is about as good as you can get on film in this animation style, the true star of the disc is the Dolby atmos audio track. This is one of the most immersive mixes I’ve ever heard, it really draws you into the action on screen for more envelopment. The positional audio is fantastic and very accurate, it perfectly mirrors what’s going on screen, and action overhead is heard in the height channels, which are used quite frequently. I watched it on a 7.3.2 Dolby atmos system,and I was thrilled. The bass is pretty good too. Explosions happen with authority, and ring out with good reverb. Whoever the re-recording mixer is who remastered the audio is deserves an award. If I were you , I would definitely buy this disk !

The original ghost in the shell is the epitome of science fiction anime.

Timeless movie. Scarlett Johansson can’t beat the original.

Great movie. No complaints, excellent video quality and lots of action.

The classic anime film that changed the game when it came to animation

This is one of the best steel books I have seen. Awesome Design, really well done.

Great movie, fast shipping, Best buy has the best anime movies

This has always been a telling example of what 'human' really is. The whole series does an excellent job reexamining things we thought we knew about existence. Go check out everything in the series - not just this.

movie was too good, bouta get me 3 more copies to have

Nice edition with digital code, was able to redeem digital code with Apple, A+++

The 4K transfer for this movie is truely magnificent!

Buy all these classics before physical media disappears.

If you've never seen this movie, you really need to right now. It can get a bit preach and philosophical at times, but it's had such a huge impact on films that have come out since that it will amaze you.

If you haven’t seen it, then you are missing out! I love this anime oh so much!

Love the outer plastic art then taking off it to reveal the steelbook is beautiful.

Nice collection to have for the art work. Ghost in the shell is a classic.

My first copy of this seminal film was on a dinged up VHS that I literally played to death. I had never see anything like it (only finding Akira after first viewing GITS) - the subtle dusting of CGI that vaulted Project I.G.’s fluid animation to something hyper-real, the gorgeous backgrounds, colorful cast, a “lived-in” near future that seemed like it could be on our very real horizon, the contemplative score and the film’s willingness to linger and let us imagine, dream and truly wonder just what being human means. Fast forward 25 years and GITS’s impact on pop-culture is indelible, inspiring animated and live-action films, video games all things cool. Though it didn’t invent it, when I think “cyberpunk,” I think Ghost in the Shell. 25 years have also seen various transfers of the film, from VHS to DVD to Blu-Ray and now UHD - through all that innovation, GITS both evolves and retains its elegance. With the UHD transfer, GITS has never looked better, it’s swelling soundtrack, fully uncompressed, is one of its standouts. Colors pop, some of the more kinetic scenes seem almost 3D, jumping off the screen. The steel book packaging, if you are lucky enough to find one without the swelling aftermarket price tag is gorgeous - one of the Best Buy has offered. TL;DR - Even if you already own a copy of this amazing film, or if you are like me and feel compelled to pick up every iteration of GITS, this is a must buy. And if this is your first “jack-in” to this groundbreaking opus, then I envy you. Enjoy.
