Surprisingly incoherent and boring

... View MoreJust intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

... View MoreGot to love how high Mamoru Oshii set the bar for these movies. It is no surprise to read in his Wiki page that he is now famous for his philosophy-oriented storytelling. Nice to see that other directors in this series are not disrespecting his work.Razor sharp dialog and not only no plot holes, but a very deep plot; a multitude of relevant tangents explored for each decision the characters make in the film. The motives of people in day-to-day life are usually quite harlequin, not "black and white". We are subjected to shallowness so often in mass media that I truly believe that these movies are an important contribution to humanity. Smart and beautiful!
