It's all visual panache with no true dramatic weight. Maybe there's a richer story occurring in the corners of the screen; perhaps the film plays better with the sound off.

You're not going to have a bad time at the cinema, just don't expect to feel that those who created this beautiful work, want to flatter, beyond nostalgia, your intelligence. [Full review in Spanish]

It reduces the philosophical quest for understanding of what it means to be human to a very familiar trope: the search for a former identity. Essentially, the Major is now Jason Bourne - or, more precisely, Robocop, by way of Frankenstein's monster.

It gets bogged down in aesthetics that are stimulating only for the sake of stimulation, seemingly without a flicker of thought behind them. Shell indeed, but there's no ghost at home.
