The brains of the gynoids initialize in order to protect their manufacturer's software, but in one gynoid, which Batou himself neutralized, one file remains: a voice speaking the phrase "Help me."

Really like the characters sitting around talking philosophy.
Pretty far detached from the original film, however if you're a fan of the universe/genre it's definitely worth checking out.
First one included political conflicts but this is a pure philosopical journey
The plot is pretty convoluted but fans who want to see the Ghost in the Shell universe expanded will enjoy it.
Solid but less focused than the previous film. Worth watching at least once for fans.
a mind bending sequal that adds to the complexity of the first film...
In many ways darker and more difficult movie than the first one. Visually beautiful!
While a bit removed from the original, the themes remain ever present. Very dense in concepts and philosophies, some may say too much. Great
A good sequel to a masterpiece. Can not completely hold up but in its own right a very good movie.
politics philosophy complex movie but really good
