There is some very questionable CGI in this story to be sure… but then again, there are moments when the animation isn’t entirely awful… you’ll get a mixed bag when it comes to visuals. Honestly, I have to wonder what Production I.G and Sanzigen could have been thinking.

There are moments where the animation dips fairly low. That said, I don’t personally like this movie. If you do that, you probably won’t hate it as much as I do. My best advice is set your expectations low going into it. Given just who was involved with this movie (this has to do with the Ghost in the shell rant), I expected more than what I got. I wasn’t able to do that because I went into the movie entirely blind, and to me it was a waste of my time. You just have to understand what you’re getting into. That said the movie is entertaining to a point. As far as clean narratives are concerned, that’s a problem. There’s no subtlety here, it’s all much too overbearing.
