I watched a cinema rip, to decide whether it's worth to see it in 3D in cinema, for the effects at least (I also didn't expect anything great). In the end I decided not to, because it would just make me angry.

There were so many homages to GitS movie, but done so badly! My favorite scene in the original is the museum tank fight scene, where you can feel so clearly how desperate the situation is (from many small details). The same scene in the new movie just doesn't give you any feelings at all about the situation.

Perhaps it's a decent action movie if you don't know or like the original.
