So is GiTS.

Hollywood has a real problem with science fiction. It almost always waters it down into a creature-feature, with the usual generic sex and weapon play.

Deeper questions about culture, mystery, and identity tend to be removed at the screen writing stage.

There are exceptions - Contact and Arrival - but the trend at the moment seems to be towards shallow empty spectacle with a lot of running, jumping, shouting, shooting, and CGI. Add a few wisecracks and skin-tight costumes and you're done.

For a different take I'd recommend anything by Tarkovsky. Stalker and Solaris are brilliantly imaginative masterpieces with no modern CGI at all.

Unfortunately between the pervasiveness of CGI and the economics of today's film industry (a lot of the money comes from non-US and action works a lot better than dialog there), a lot of films get overwhelmed by action sequences these days. SFish (and superhero) films are certainly among the worst offenders but I find a lot of movies these days seem to have a decent core that's overwhelmed by 10 minute fight scenes or whatever with loads of effects.
