I have seen this film just tree days ago. The first impression after the screening was "It may be too early, maybe for 20 or 30 years." Oshii and his crew achieved unbelievable images, telling a very simple story with complex details of the future. The story is set in 2032, but it seems to be in 22-th century, judging from the technology. If you like hardcore SF novels by Greg Egan or by Greg Bear, or Oshii's other films--I'm sure you will love it and will see it again and again. The film has already enchanted many Japanese viewers only for three days. Of course, there are people who actively hate it, maybe from jealousy of too simple people. But those who has fallen in love with it--say that they will see it two or three times on the screen. It seems that I am one of them. Though it is produced as "Ghost in the Shell 2", its artistic level is much higher and the direction is more delicate. For this beautiful film, I can use the word "Masterpiece".
