I'd recommend ANY other adaptation of the comics: the multiple anime shows and movies are all richer and more vibrant than this movie version. (And less problematic in their casting). Problems I had with this version: the grayed out colors, turning Major into basically a child instead of a long-term military/police professional, displacing her strong adult friendships with her colleagues with a mother-type relationship with the cybernetic scientist, the lack of focus and meaning to the landscapes and framing ("there's a lot going on in this city shot but I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be looking at?"), literal lack of color, basically a simplification of everything from characters backstories to coworker friendships to politics, etc.
