    I really wanted to give this movie 4 stars but seeing how many people gave it 1 star I figured I owed it to the film to balance it out a bit. If my brother would want to go see this movie I would go with him again. I don't know where all the high expectations for this movie is coming from but this move has a lot to offer to sci-fi movies. Loved the cinematic and cool characters. Go see it. Its not as bad as others say it is. Its actually good old sci-if.

    At some point in the movie I figured Hanka - the robotics company - is actually a Scandinavian name, that's why the company reps AND the cyborgs have Western European faces so there is NO whitewashing here. This also explains why Aramaki and Hairi, the mother of Motoko are among the few Asian characters. This is a ruthless western company which exploits weaknesses in an Asian country's laws and a bunch of vulnerable people to turn them into value added products for an elite market. Johansson takes her role very seriously to every details and the one that struck me the most is the stance she takes when standing up and looking down at a sleeping Dr. Ouelet. The gait she uses to walk in various circumstances is also striking - this is not a women's elegant steps at all, it's a machine on a mission. Even if the "ghost" keeps the humanity in the "shell", the tenderness, softness and mostly the need to exchange love appears to have been eradicated. Impressive play.

    It was good entertainment for a raining day. Whitewash? Who cares! If I believe all critics I wouldn't see anything beside movies like La La Land and Train wreck which BOTH stunk. Just entertain me is all I ask.

    Funny how anyone who gives an honest review, and did not like this Movie is a "troll" LOL. How about people have different opinions and that is what this page is for. I found this movie to be poorly done and would not recommend watching it. Btw does anyone know what "we,re" means ? I have heard of we're as a contraction of we are.

    *anime characters are fluid...they do not have to be a certain race in the adaptation and the anime character female does not even look a hundred percent Asian* Do some research it called the Default Human Being Effect
