Posted: April 8th, 2017, 9:22 am
Set in a dystopian future city, most people are now a modified mixture of human and machine. replacement parts and brain enhancements. Enter the latest creation Major (Scarlett Johansson) a cyborg into which has been transplanted a human brain and consciousness 'the ghost'. She is immediately perceived by her creators as the perfect anti terrorist weapon reflexes of the machine and inventiveness of the human. The first third of the film is full of action sequences in what appears a violent and relentless, squalid city its landscape dominated by huge weird holographic figures presumably adverts. There seems to be an unwritten subtext that this is our future not if, but when. Then the film changes and becomes darker, Major starts to question her existence by discovering that she has been lied to all of her life, who to trust, who is she?. Much more than a simple action movie it questions our future posing more questions than answers.
