I love it! I'm a big fan of Ghost In The Shell. I will watch this movie always.

This js a piece of physical art tbat rivals tbe digital art that's included.

A classic must own for UHD Bluray. Uncompressed hand drawn analog goodness~

Much rather have this (the original). Plus the steelbook case looks amazing

I tend to shy away from designs that deviate too much from a film's original promo art, but there are so many strengths to be had in this SteelBook release that warrants a purchase. The slipcover (another addition that I usually find unnecessary with SteelBooks) is a vividly colored image of the Major's face printed on translucent materials in which you can see a peek of the SteelBook's cover. Removing the slipcover fully reveals the Major's face in construction, equally lush with color and spanning throughout the front/spine/back cover of the SteelBook. The interior art is a bit simplified in comparison, showing a new image from the film's climax. The 4K & Blu-ray discs themselves are no afterthought; both designed to resemble circuit boards with a finely embossed finish. The contents themselves are what really won me over. Within are a generous amount of special features curiously absent from Manga/Anchor Bay's BD SteelBook and while they're both in the same aspect ratio, the aforementioned doesn't quite fill the entire screen. This Lionsgate release gives it an IMAX-like ratio and while I was only able to watch the Blu-ray disc for now, the remastered image looks beautiful as ever. All in all, this is when package design equates as a work of art and truly makes the most of its medium. While I still love that Manga/Anchor Bay's SteelBook captures its original 1995 spirit, this new shell is definitely worth double-dipping for.

Steel book is beautiful as well ans film is amazing looking

This is the original, OG cyberpunk movie. I love that it's more than just action. What other film can be visually appealing, entertaining, and delve into the idea of what makes one human/alive?

Classic anime that still holds up after all these years.

Very nice solid cover, cool design and durable. Love it.

Great sound and picture. Noticeable step up from standard blu ray

Perfect film as advertised 4K quality amazing movie format

4K transfer is great! If you're a fan of the movie this is a must have.

This was an amazing movie I mean awesome you cannot be disappointed in this

Excellent movie, and the 4K UHD quality is supreme. Worth the purchase! There is a newer steelcase version though, so I would go with version.

Gorgeous steelbook edition of a classic anime. I am glad this exists.

Amazing movie and an amazing steelbook presentation.

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.

Gorgeous steelbook at a great price. Rare to see anime in 4k with HDR.

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

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