About this deal

everything is perfect but the movie its self is unwatchable outside the uk and didn’t say anything about it being region locked either. Ghost in the Shell comes to US 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray courtesy of Lionsgate, with no imminent UK 4K release on the horizon. Essentially if you are familiar with the US Lionsgate release, then these extras have been brought over to the UK in their entirety. Finally, Major Kusanagi receives the justice she deserves on Ultra HD, equipped with an excellent HEVC H.

While Akira was a replica of the Japanese release for licensing reasons, Ghost in the Shell got a UK exclusive limited edition. The limited edition release comes presented in a rigid box that houses a steelbook that contains both the 4K Ultra HD disc and Blu-ray disc, since this is also a combo pack release.

I unfortunately don’t have the equipment or know-how to get into the nitty gritty of the new 4K presentation, but I can say that it breathes new life into the film’s gorgeous cinematography, bringing out all of the detail delicately crammed into Oshii’s lived-in frames, and the contrast of light and darkness, like an earlier shot where Motoko Kusanagi is silhouetted by the light coming through her apartment window.

It was a really interesting film, not to mention it also inspired a number of films, shows ever since. Lionsgate’s 4K disc offers 4 audio options: English and Japanese Dolby Atmos—both new mixes—along with English Descriptive Audio and the film’s original Japanese 2. Colors are richer and more nuanced, with the HDR giving certain elements an added measure of pop and luster. The limited edition release for Ghost in the Shell contains a single 4K Ultra HD disc and Blu-ray disc. It spawned an audacious sequel, two seasons of a spin-off series, a movie or three based on them, a soft reboot series, and a new Netflix series - the first fully-CG rendition.Manga Entertainment at this point were finally delving more into the collector’s edition packaging that Anime Limited and Funimation usually provide with rigid boxes and other physical goodies. Wir folgen Major Motoko Kusanagi, die den Puppet Master jagt, ein Hacker der in der Lage ist die Shell zu knacken und so den Ghost zu kontrollieren. The bustling streets come alive with traffic and crowd noises, and the 'Net sequences buzz with immersive intensity, drawing you into the futurescape nicely, whilst latter actions scenes boom with the punishing power of that unstoppable tank, as countless shells are expended. The shape-shifting Puppet Master, a rogue creation of a rival agency of the security apparatus, has concluded that it is a life form in its own right, "born in sea of information," and requested political asylum and true physical existence in defiance of its creators. Dialogue is given priority, dominating the frontal channels, although there is a certain ethereal quality to the 'Net talk, and effects enjoy some thrumming gunfire and satisfying cyborg explosions as bodies are ripped apart by shells.
