Not for real fans (of VR or GitS)

This is just a 5 min., 360 degrees monoscopic (not 3D) trailer for the 2017 live action movie, and not worth the 482mb download (IMNSHO). Visuals are so-so, action is boring and in slow motion, and there is nothing in terms of story. You can't even pause or rewind the movie with this "app", yet you can watch the same video via Facebook as well (even stream it with the Oculus Video app, it is currently in the Facebook Videos section). If you want a much better VR GitS experience, search for "Virtual Reality Diver" on YouTube. BTW, I tested this on a Note 4. It played mostly OK, but there was some jitter and tearing (certainly something NOT intentionally done by the creators).

Ok to get excited

This is just a 360 movie. The movie itself is interesting. The player however is not so good. It's jerky and was fast to put the phone into thermal throttling. There are good examples like pigasus and netflix that show you don't need to be jerky to get good video playback. Pigasus even streams from wifi, is not jerky and doesn't go into thermal throttle as long as you don't interfere with the playing. This of course is on the latest and greatest available galaxy note in the netherlands: the note 4.

Never stops loading

I’ve even uninstalled and reinstalled to no effect.

Fails to load video missing video files

Again, this app doesn't contain actual CONTENT, it streams content from a server which is long since shut down. So, it does NOTHING but wait to "load" something which is no longer there.
