In the 30 second TV spot, Scarlett Johannson appears in her almost naked to the eye costume as she falls from a tall building, smashes through glass, kicks ass and has half her face peeled away as the narrator states “They did not save your life, they stole it”. The spot is an epically stunning 30 seconds with its immense CGI which puts its phasers on to stun, yet still with no hint of any kind of storyline. Visually it should be a spectacular piece of cinema.

Here’s the Ghost in the Shell Super Bowl TV spot.
