This is the UK version (region B) and should work on all Australian blu-ray players. The film rarely goes on sale and most Australian retailers sell the American version which has the additional 1080p Blu Ray disk region locked.
CamelCamelCamel.
And subtitles on so you know what’s actually being said 😂
The dubbing on this film is best in class. It very, very closely follows the movement of their lips and it has a phenomenal english cast.
This is the rare anime that can VERY easily be enjoyed in english as well as japanese.
One of the greatest anime films of all time.
The Scarlet Johansson movie was so bad.
Does she identify as Japanese?
Does it matter though.. after all the exterior can just be anything.
She identifies as sodastream…
This is the anime.
It was, mostly because it was so focused on the stupid origin story side of things and not the implications of the Major's condition and the implications of having/being a 'ghost' like the anime/manga. Could actually have been half decent with a more appropriate actress and better script, some of the effects (like the tank fight) are great.
Such a Great movie.
OG price?
To clarify, 4K UHD disc is region free (they all are).
Only the Bluray is region locked.
To clarify, 4K UHD disc is region free (they all are).
They are meant to be, but there are a few movies released with region encoding, which doesn't adhere to the 4K standards. Such a small list hardly worth worrying about (this movie isn't one of them)
Didn't like it when I was younger… Was it because I was about 15? From my perspective (not that of a fan) should I retry this or just let it go?
retry.
Yeah, retry it.
Try Akira first.
That's where it all started (for westerners).
I had the same response at the same age
It's available for free to watch on prime? Assuming you've prime if you're getting free delivery?
Also only 12.99 on Prime to buy so what is the advantage of this out of curiosity?
Version on Prime Video doesn't seem to be 4K. Also doesn't include the special features that the blu-ray has.
Plus streaming won't have lossless audio, and video bitrate, even if it were in 4K would be much lower compared to disc.
Had a look at the ATV version, same price and it says HD.
Both 1995 or 25th anniversary version are available.
You can keep it when your subscription runs out. Or, you don't have to worry about it leaving the service.
is this the 1995 release with the added cgi?
No, that is Ghost in a shell 2.0
What to go with it to utilize the extra 9%??
Classic.
Grabbed one, thanks OP.
This may sound stupid but is the movie on the blu ray disc also or just the 4k disc?
This actually doesn't look like it comes with the movie on Blu ray, contrary to the OP's comments. Just a Blu ray with special features. When they do, they usually say so on the front cover at the top along the lines of "4K + Blu ray"
It was one of my favourite films growing up. I watched it recently again. It holds up extremely well.
Gone
although I don't understand Japanese, but it's always the best to have the original audio track that matched their lip movement.
