looks better than it probably is.

It's a Hollywood adaptation of an anime guys pls. Don't make me remind you what happened the last time.

I'm still confused who this is being marketed to

 

I saw the origin GitS in cinema a couple of weeks back. Place was about 1/5 full and two people left as soon as the Japanese dialogue started. Can't imagine a lot of weeaboos and nerds tuning in to the Super Bowl to catch this trailer either.

The Matrix crowd. Seems like a straightforward sci-fi flick, plenty of people like straightforward sci-fi

 

that movie from eighteen years ago has a crowd?

When I saw the latest trailer among all the Super Bowl ads I was like "OMG I'M TOTALLY GONNA GO SEE THAT"

But on second though, I decided it's better to be cautious. Maybe wait for the reviews first.

I've been hungry for more dystopian sci-fi, which is what Blomkamp (initially) excelled at. But after seeing Chappie I'm reminded why I was in no hurry to watch it, being a de facto Die Antwoord promotion and all.

It's been literally more than a decade since I've watched the original GitS. I also remember it being somewhat boring.

"Atmospheric" is the word you're looking for.

Wait..... what? Why are they turning her into a pussy?

Holy shit- this actually looks great.

If this movie trilogy is successful, hopefully we'll get a new story based GITS video game.  The two games for PS1 and PS2 were some of my favorites.

Trilogy? Pump the breaks, homie.

I don't really like all the Wolverine/Neo hur-dur everything you know is a lie stuff they seem to be going with. Seems V dated.

Nothing but praise for the visuals though.

It was originally planned to be a trilogy, and I'm sure the principals have been signed to multiple films, as almost any high budget Hollywood film is planned out these days, a franchise can be milked and rebooted forever.  However, this film has been in development for over a decade, so plans can change, but if it's successful, I see no reason why there wouldn't be sequels.

On a side note, didn't realize Clint Mansell composed the score, should be a good one to own.

probably a soft reboot

..... nervously excited and just *can* *not* *wait* for the film to disappoint on every level!

I'll admit the latest trailer looks promising. But I'm still inclined to wait for the reviews first.

Or is it better to be the guinea pig and go see it first, and "take one for the team?" And be one of the first to review it for everybody else?

i hate reading reviews before movies because even when someone's opinion is obviously stupid it colors your own perception of a movie while you're watching it. they also usually give away spoilers that i guess reviewers don't consider spoilers.

best option is to go in with low expectations and leave pleasantly surprised. 

or just throw your $15 directly in the trash

So it's the robot chick from terminator 3 but with a conscience?

she's not a robot, she's a human with a full body prosthesis.

Robertcop innit

rupert the police officer

I have big hopes

Saw it. Honestly I like it. The people behind the robits are passionate, let's hope that translates to other areas.
