This film has come to represent so much. For me, it is undoubtedly, the Blade Runner of a new generation. For the world, it was an example of the power of censorship by the easily offended, ridiculously hypocritical, ignorant and entitled social justice warriors who inundate and contaminate every avenue of the web in all of its incarnations. Visually enchanting, majestically filmed and scored, this live action remake not only honors the original anime but takes it to new and stunning levels. Johansson is perfectly cast, as the strangely stoic and mechanical, yet deeply disturbing and mesmerizing Major. Her supporting cast is equally remarkable, as they easily, organically bring their individual characters to illustrious life. The story isn't new, not just because it is a retelling of its animated predecessor, but the idea itself has become an overdone action fare staple. However, it is masterfully told, unbelievably making it feel fresh and unique. The action is breathtaking, as are the effects, which blend seamlessly into each scene, enhancing instead of overwhelming the plot. Sanders may have failed with his Snow White sequel, but there is no doubt, this will quickly become his swan song. 4 out of 5 Kernels: This is what filmmaking should look and sound like, creating a total experience that inspires the imagination and occupies all attention.
