Incredibly good adaptation of the Manga. Loved every second and Alita’s CGI face was made flawlessly. I wasn’t expecting anything less from Mr.Cameron.

Good story, good characters. The visuals and action scenes are great. Wonderful depth. The CGI was fantastic. I am so sick of the boring one-dimensional Hollywood movies out there. This film was a breath of fresh air.

It bypasses potential weightier themes for more straightforward action. Still, it's exciting action, with exceptional visual effects and a really strong lead in Rosa Salazar as Alita. However, her co-star is unfortunately miscast, and the dialogue is very simplistic. Furthermore, the doll-like CG eyes on Salazar is unnecessary at best, distracting at worst, and misses the point of the anime-like look it's trying to simulate.… Expand

I really enjoyed this film, the visual effects were great! And the action sequences were amazing.

What we have here, Ladies and Gentlemen, is yet another divisive film. Where - like Top Gun - the critics are extremely mixed while the fans enjoy the over loving h*** out of it.

It’s a bit cliche, the romance between Alita and Hugo, but it really never bothered me. I think Hugo genuinely cared about Alita, and she is too naive of how dangerous the world really is which I found both frustrating at times as well as endearing. Go see it if you haven’t already, I guarantee it doesn’t deserve the heavy bouts of criticisms it’s receiving by critics. Also... there’s a culture war between this film and another marvel film [Captain Marvel] - pay no attention to that. Let this film speak on its own merit, you’ll know If you like it or not when you see it.… Expand

I cannot believe the critics gave such low scores to this movie. I saw it on the second weekend of its release in theaters and I was absolutely blown away. The movie looks and feels just like a live-action anime. I was unsure about this movieI cannot believe the critics gave such low scores to this movie. I saw it on the second weekend of its release in theaters and I was absolutely blown away. The movie looks and feels just like a live-action anime. I was unsure about this movie when I first saw the trailer but after I did a little research I discovered that it was adapted from an old anime/manga, so that was a huge selling point for me. As a huge fan of anime I am thoroughly impressed. This is literally the best live-action adaptation of any anime property, period. The bar was already set pretty low after recent epic failures such as Ghost In The Shell and Netflix's Death Note, which both utterly annihilated the source material they were adapted from. This made me more than skeptical of Alita: Battle Angel but the movie ended up blowing my expectations out of the water. I can understand now why the critic average is so low on this film which is certainly going to become a cult classic. Anime/manga stories are deep and complicated with many intersecting plot-lines, and a lot of bizarre and abstract ideas. Alita: Battle Angel strikes this chord perfectly with a stunning adaptation that remains faithful to its canon in almost every aspect. I watched the anime episodes after seeing the movie and I was almost shocked at Robert Rodriguez's and James Cameron's attention to detail. They really didn't want to disappoint fans of anime/manga. The problem is this type of film might be too much for the average critic or moviegoer. This is not a Marvel movie. You will have to actually think about what's happening, and there are some profound and even disturbing ideas presented. That's what anime/manga is known for. It's really sad that this under-appreciated gem would become lost in the influx of superhero films that dominate the box office. They took a huge gamble with a hefty budget on this film and it probably will not generate the revenue that studio bigwigs were hoping for. I'm hoping that word of mouth can boost support for this awesome sci-fi extravaganza because this is what both Hollywood and anime has needed. The film ended on a major cliffhanger and I would really like to see the story continued.… Expand

Here's the thing about Alita Battle Angel. It doesn't try to do too much. It doesn't try to throw in too many characters. It doesn't try to throw in confusing plot twists that fall apart when you really thing of them. It simply tells a story in a straightforward linear manner. There is character development. A narrative hook and arc. A climax and a conclusion. I learned those story telling elements in MIDDLE SCHOOL. Yet somehow hollywood has forgotten the basics of storytelling and the investors/producers are panicked in to a position of always PUSHING for more more more until we're left with mutated messes of what movies should be. Let that happen long enough, and people become brainwashed, accustomed to the new-normal. Even the critics. And that's how we got here. Is Alita BA the best movie I've ever seen, no. Is all of the above still true? 100%.… Expand

Although the picture was stunningly amazing, it would be better the CGI was more "hidden" and blent with physical props. Overall I can truly recommend this film to everyone. It was worth spending 2 hours watching it and I would come back to rewatch it in the future.

TL;dR I watched this movie after putting it off for a while also intentionallyI am glad this movie exists, let me get this out there. Films like these give me hope that manga and anime related content will get exposure and a good budget.

TL;dR I watched this movie after putting it off for a while also intentionally avoiding a theater watch considering a lot of the negative reviews I heard, but I now feel it was a missed opportunity for me. This is not the most awesome, perfectest movie out there at all. But the good just nudges out enough of the bad offering a positive experience in my watch.

The Good
Rosa Salazar was a positive for me, the twinkle in her eye from the start of the movie to her hardened Battle Angel namesake was believable and gradual. Christoph Waltz added beautifully to the dynamic between himself and Rosa with Ido-Alita dialogue being the best out of all the character interactions. Also watching him swing that giant rocket powered hammer around was awkward but kinda in a good way showing his ageing character yet solidifying his bad ass courage to go up against dangerous cyborgs.
The Visuals were the biggest star of Film. Every Shot of the world building and the Cyborg/Cyberpunk VFX were detailed, seamless and astonishingly photo realistic; combined with some satisfying action sequences is a big reason for being worth a watch.

Now The Bad aspects to this film...
Hugo was my biggest peeve in the film. Even though his character was written as major Main Protagonist motivation which was good, the actor Johnson was a wet towel and nothing more than a pretty boy. Even his own inner conflict seems to come rather abruptly, his two friends were far more interesting and I would have loved for them as a trio to have a similar arc as 2 friends and 1 love interest. The prejudiced friend and a female friend to Alita were two missed opportunities with Hugo's buddies-in-crime as this would have made compelling story telling.
The actor was bad enough without being saddled with some of the most groan worthy dialogue between love interest and Main Character which dragged a lot. There were some good flashes of well written dialogue in the Hugo-Alita interaction but they were few and far between.
Vector was pretty much a whatever aspect of the film as Ali is an amazing actor but he was given nothing to do other than to spout and or cause plot furtherance, similarly Connelly was another wasted talent.

All in all as I mentioned there were bad aspects to the film, awful really; but the core of Ido and Alita, absolutely excellent VFX, good action and Rosa Salazar were all strong enough to warrant at least one watch and another sequel to get the wheels rolling for good movies inspired by anime/manga literature.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Alita is an excellent movie. I saw the movie in ICE and this film does not allow me to perceive the ICE technology as a technology that brings value. The Dolby Atmos is occasionally used especially to demonstrate the grandeur of the city or "MotorBowl". Finally a can like "ICE" it is under-exploited. 3D is flat, especially the first scene. A terrifying 3D of nonsense except at 2 moments of the movie .. The technology pushes limits especially at eye level, hairiness and without a doubt in terms of hair and movements. The work of modeling robots is very detailed and especially sublimated by a work of light that is just breathtaking. The moods, the atmosphere of interior and exterior are very developed which makes everything beautiful. I took a slap! The story places us in the hands of a doctor "Ido" who crosses waste dumps rejected by the city from the top. Ido rebuilds the robot that makes it a good little girl. His robotic body is adorned with pretty designs, all caressed by this light. Then Alita becomes a strong woman during her change of armor. Alita emancipates from men and wishes to recover the memory and thus want to go up to the city from the top. So she participates in the MotorBowl which is played only by men. They evolve like a heroine .. From the rebirth to the conquest and can be good for the social rebalance .. The action is very well dosed and especially very well choreographed. The impossible angles of camera are present (thanks to Tech Cameron). But I still lack a lot of elements to judge the story. So far I can say that this story is interesting and I look forward to know more. The most impressive is that Alita becomes as charismatic as a real actor when she is only a 3D representation. For those who are big film fans, this one is a great time to spend with friends! #LoveChristopheWaltz

Alita est un excellent film. J'ai vu le film en salle ICE et ce film ne me permet pas de percevoir la technologie ICE comme une technologie qui apporte de la valeur. Le Dolby Atmos est de temps en temps utilisé notamment pour démontrer la grandeur de la ville ou du "MotorBowl". Finalement un peut comme "ICE" c'est sous-exploité. La 3D est plate, surtout la première scène. Une 3D terrifiante de non-sens sauf à 2 moments du film.. La technologie repousse des limites notamment au niveau des yeux, de la pilosité et sans aucun doute au niveau des cheveux et des mouvements. Le travail de la modélisation des robots est très détaillé et surtout sublimé par un travail de la lumière qui est juste époustouflant. Les ambiances, l'atmosphère d'intérieur et d'extérieur sont très développées ce qui rend le tout magnifique. J'ai pris une claque ! L'histoire nous place aux mains d'un docteur "Ido" qui croise à décharge des déchets rejetés par la ville du haut. Ido reconstruit le robot qui en fait une petite fille bien. Son corps robotique est ornés de jolis dessins, le tout caressé par cette lumière. Puis Alita devient une femme forte lors de son changement d'armure. Alita s'émancipe des hommes et souhaite retrouver la mémoire et de ce faite veux monter à la ville du haut. Du coup elle participe au MotorBowl qui est joué que par les Hommes. Elles évoluent comme une héroïne.. De la renaissance à la conquête et peux être bien pour le rééquilibre sociale.. L'action est très bien dosée et surtout très bien chorégraphiée. Les angles impossibles de caméra sont présents (merci à la Tech Cameron). Mais il me manque encore beaucoup d'éléments pour juger de l'histoire. Jusqu'a maintenant je peux dire que cette histoire est prenante et qu'il me tarde de connaitre la suite. Le plus impressionnant c'est que Alita devient aussi charismatique qu'un véritable acteur alors qu'elle n'est qu'une représentation 3D. Pour ceux qui sont fans de grand film, celui-ci est un excellent moment à passer entre amis ! #LoveChristopheWaltz… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If you've ever wondered how a human and a cyborg manage to 'elope,' then this film will still leaving you wondering on that front. I'm guessing Alitas body was designed with all the necessary parts. To be honest, I wouldn't say no to her either, especially if I needed protection from saber weilding cyborgs. It's funny how how he just can't wait to get some of that artifical booty. She has a slight CGI look too that clearly drives him wild. Ever want to see Christopher waltz wielding a huge war hammer? I didn't think I did, until I saw it. It's just a very entertaining and watchable film, with some of the best action sequences I've ever seen. The story is pretty decent, the acting fine. The dialogue is a bit silly in parts but still entertaining.… Expand

Panned by so many for what it is not, while missed by the same for what it is. Simply, this is a film that comes along very infrequently: merging meaning and medium perfectly, while advancing a craft that is too often mimicked but seldom defined. The first mercurial statement: meaning and medium--this is a futurist film that welds relatable characters with an advance of the very element which best, visually, defines that future. This film accomplishes that feat in the same way that Terminator 1 and 2 did. Recall, if you can, your youthful memory of those films and remember the feelings you had. I had the same ones in this film. The second statement: CG art is a difficult medium to excel at--this is best known by those that have tried. I have made strides to progress in this arena for the twin enjoyment of both art and technology. Those that participated in this exemplar of the art have achieved something few ever will: a defining example, a unique and enduring entry into the craft of this sort. My respect to all who made this a reality. You all deserve so much more credit than you get. And to top it all off, this work is well directed, well acted, well lit, well timed, well scored. Fools do not always know when they are in the presence of something they cannot understand. Stand aside.… Expand
