Visually this is amazing. The wolrd building made me want to know more of the history about it, how this world runs, and why it is in this state. It made me want to have real cyborgs in real life.

The movie did feel a a bit crammed with the plot in the end, but nothing to bad. It really has that Rodriguez feeling to it.I really hope this movie can get a sequel, and finishes what it started. GO and See this.… Expand

But it's only in the scenes where they put a human head on the CGI bodies. And it's not badly done at all, it just has that uncanny valley feeling when they mix it. But it's a tiny complaint when that's all I can come up with.

I absolutely loved this movie! Crossing my fingers for the very obviously set up sequel.

The style of the world they built reminded me at times of Blade Runner, but only as dark still shots. The pace of the world is a lot faster in Alita - when it needs to be.
You really root for Alita - she's a character you feel for. I think most people can relate to her in some way. Feeling excited but lost at the same time. It's an interesting take on the "I forgot everything about my past" trope. And I love that they feed it to the viewer in bits. Not just her remembering who she is. Also literally her physical appearance throughout the movie. It was like playing a video game where you upgrade your skills and items - but as a movie. Worked well if you ask me.… Expand

Movie review

I tried to post this on Rotten Tomatoes, but it doesn't allow reviews/ratings for this movie. (Like all controversial movies)

I kept hearing conflicting information about this movie, and originally had no interest in seeing it.

The movie is very entertaining through the whole thing. But at the same time, not a single moment is really noteworthy.
If it had one noteworthy scene, I could easily rate this a 90%
Another major problem is that the movie leaves off "To be continued" which means we'll never see the next film, due to press/advertisers trying to keep it from competing with Captain Marvel.

One thing that stands out in this movie (not as a plot point) is how well the action sequences are handled through 90% of it.
I personally hate action sequences, and tend to turn my brain off during them, and day dream.
I found myself only doing that once, when the action scene dragged on longer than any of the other action sequences.
The rest were VERY impressive to watch. Even without plot context, or dialogue to break up the monotonous nature of action sequences, something was still always mesmerizing, unique, or just well thought out. (The bad action sequence was a chase sequence that dragged on too long, and stopped doing anything unique or interesting after a few minutes)

A random "emotional moment" happens near the end, that loses it's potency, since it's a TV series condensed into a movie. There was no way to improve it, w/o putting a larger focus on the characters involved, instead of the movies plot.

All of the characters are super entertaining to watch, or hear talk.

But before I finish, the press and much of the media pushed a narrative the movie was sexist. I thought it would be true, since a lot of complaints mentioned sound like something you'd find in anime.
There was ZERO sexualized content in this movie. Not even a hint of it.
She didnt have wide hips, big boobs, or any other sexualized features.
Her body was completely metal, with only the brain being the only human flesh part.
Non of her outfits were provocative or anything.
Even though she has nothing to show, due to being made of metal, she even wore shorts when getting out of bed in the morning. So obviously it was just to try and lower competition for Captain Marvel, which was trying to score brownie points as a "Strong female lead" movie, and came out too close to eachother.

----------------------------
Movie's final rating
75%
----------------------------
Great 1st watch, but has almost no rewatch value unfortunately.

OnlyAbsolutely beautiful visuals, amazing camera work, and a fun movie to see in theaters. Personally I really enjoyed it and loved how the choreography was done. CGI looked great, and the story was great at building a completely new world.

Only points I felt were iffy were the later portions of the movie, where Hugo gets a bit of a transformation and he doesn't really get any time to use it before the movie ends. It could have been great to see how him and Alita act in between those points. The romance between them was cute, but felt a bit rushed in areas.

4/5 Great movie, definitely worth seeing in theaters. A few parts which I felt bogged down the pacing and felt rushed, but it's still solid. Help support this movie as it definitely deserves a sequel! There is great setup and I'm left wanting more after the movie ends. It leaves off on such an "Ooo" moment that it makes me excited for what comes next.… Expand

The story is really standard like other Apocalyptic Young Adult films. The characters are really bland, especially the actor Hugo, played by debutant Keean Johnson, who is not good enough and sympathetic. Keean is like there is no charisma in playing a male hero. Then, Christoph Waltz the 2 Oscars winner is quite wasted here. Meanwhile, Mahershala Ali had previously finished filming Alita before winning an Oscar thanks to the film Moonlight and Green Book, acting pretty well. He was able to show as a cruel and cold antagonist.

Actually the basic character of Alita is enough to attract sympathy from the audience, he is a person who is truly innocent and willing to help others. But the development of the character runs slowly, only at the end of the audience just found out who is Alita. Unfortunately when the audience has started to pervade the character, the film is suddenly left hanging as if to signal the existence of a sequel. This causes an anticlimax. Stunning visual quality like the movie Avatar and eye-popping 3D effects that really spoil the eye is not enough to cover the standard story and the bland and non-developing characters. New audiences are attracted to the characters towards the end of the story, but unfortunately more films are left anticlimactic so that later there will be a sequel (if successful).… Expand

This depiction on a (female) character is not only kind of "fresh" (although it is not new in concept) but also perfectly wrapped in other emotional scarves which you need to strip down after the movie is ongoing: The development of the character(s) and world building are going hand in hand. And as you follow Alita on her journey you are not reminded, it is A GIRL who is fighting for her "humanity" and place in that world. This is a showcase of beeing somebody who is different. Not (reduced) by gender. But by construct of the society. After Wonderwoman and Alita we have two great examples in last two years HOW IT IS DONE. If Capt Marvel would have gone that road … One more thing: it is so refreshing to watch Rosa Salazar (and two years ago Gal Gadot) explain her character and giving us inclusive interviews without any fake agendas – something Brie Larson is obviously not able or willing to do. A shame. And a sad thing.

Being familiar with the source material before I watched the movie I expected to be dissapointed, especially since it was marketed as 12A. I was pleasantly surprised. The movie pays its respects to the early dystopian cyberpunk world envisioned by Yukito Kishiro.. It's world building is phenomenal although I would prefer it a little bit darker, Rosa Salazar portrays Alita beautifully and the rest of the cast do not dissapoint. Minor flaw the character of Hugo which doesn't quite convince.

It however comes from a manga which might put off some people. Lot's of little stories happen at the same time as well as nuanced details that are only hinted (and also political commentary which is there but well hidden) and might never revealed without a sequel but you wouldn't be able to tell the saga of Alita any other way.… Expand

To top it off, itIt's not a well known Manga, even in Japan, and it's Original Video Adaptation did not take off well either. I think that's why when it was announced, the first time I saw the trailer, I was like "who or what is this?". To top it off, it sounded a bit too cheesy for me at the time... "Battle Angel". The obvious contrast of the two words was just a bit cringey. But I saw it was produced by Jim Cameron, directed by Rob Rodriguez and co-produced by John Landau from Avatar. So yeah, this might be OK. So saw it in the cinema, expecting around a solid 7 of 10, or at least a 6, given the heavy hitters that were at the helm of this movie. But boy was I wrong, and I never could have been happier I was wrong. This movie just blew me away. Everything about it was immersive, the world, the graphics, the characters, the acting, the music and the heart that went into this movie is just contagious. You can tell this was done with a lot of love and care, and passion shines through in the movie.

The world, and the small hints of the back-story is compelling, they told enough to give proper context for the current events in the movie, but also just enough that it makes the viewer ask more, be curious and formulate their own 'possibilities' of the past events which led to the present world they live in. The visuals, graphics and CGI is top notch. This movie in my opinion is the new gold standard in terms of computer generated imagery. They pushed the technology with the art and it shows. It's not perfect, but it is far beyond the current competition in terms of quality and most importantly believeability. The main character in the movie is 100% CGI, which is surprising since about 80-90% of the time, you forget that she's CGI, even with the BIG eyes, small mouth and pointy chin. That's how photo-real the images are. The characters are well developed and well played by all of the cast, especially the lead role Rosa Salazar, whose performance and voice gives life and soul to the character. Christoph Waltz as Ido made it seem so easy and natural and Ed Skrein as Zapan makes for a compelling jerk in the story. The passion, the love and care put into this movie is seen by how engrossed the actors are in their characters, as it shows in the screen the genuine emotions that were put forth, as well as the writing and direction that was taken to tell the story. The music ADDS to the emotion of the current events unfolding, as they should, and add it does! There's nothing less to be expected after all from the same guy who did the score for Mad Max: Fury Road. As you may have noticed, I did not mention yet the dialogue and the story. The story sets itself up for a sequel, which plays into my bias of generally disliking that style of storytelling. Though it has a beginning and an end of its own, it leaves one feeling a bit hanging still. The dialogue at some parts also felt a bit disjointed, as was the progression of the story. Acceptable if one takes into the context that this is but a small part of a larger multi-volume story in Japanese, not so much if it is to be taken as it is, without that context. They could have edited these aspects heavily, but doing so would be a move that is quite unfaithful and could be taken as disrespectful of the source material, which James Cameron was careful to maintain its integrity. It doesn't lend itself that well to the movie in my opinion, but a commendable move overall. To wrap it up, the movie isn't perfect, it has its flaws, but overall, it's a movie that draws you in, and sticks with you with all the heart it brings, the richness of the world and characters, the intensity of action, and of course, the humanity and relateability of the central character Alita, that makes one genuinely care for the character from the moment she is introduced on-screen. It's one of those movies that not only entertains, but inspires. It managed to do that to me, and I imagine it will do so to many more. This movie is a solid 9/10, and would recommend it highly for everyone who wants to watch more than just a firework spectacle, but a deep and universally appealing movie with a message and a heart at its core.… Expand

Alita is a film that is noticeably authentic in its approach. It stems from the fact that it was made by a director and a team of creative minds who wanted to make this movie and had fun in doing so; resulting in one of the most entertainingAlita is a film that is noticeably authentic in its approach. It stems from the fact that it was made by a director and a team of creative minds who wanted to make this movie and had fun in doing so; resulting in one of the most entertaining blockbusters in recent years.

The craftsmanship and care this film was made with are fully realized in its attention to detail and the CGI is without a doubt some of the best that the industry has ever produced to this day. It is seamless and might be considered amongst some as flawless and the most quintessential use of CGI ever. While other films in the past have failed to encapsulate photorealistic facial expressions with their use of motion capture Alita: Battle Angel excels in this area. To truly sell a motion-captured performance to the audience they must believe that a non-performance captured character and a performance captured character are sharing the screen. In doing this it allows both actors to act off of each other's performances and create meaningful interactions. It is not enough to say that the believability and craft put into Alita’s design is beyond stunning.

Alita is played by Rose Salazar and she delivers such a memorable and wonderful performance. The audience is immediately introduced to Alita and are captivated by her magnificent presence on screen; start to finish. Rose does something remarkable throughout the entirety of this film—she manages to maintain a sense of innocence and naivety while also illustrating what a total badass Alita is. In many films characters are often forced on the viewers and are told to like them through eye-rolling attempts of being cool, tough, or attractive in rather mediocre scenes or moments of supposed character development rather than being shown why a character should be liked and cared for through well-constructed interactions between the characters and their dialogue. Rose’s performance is genuine and adorable. When Alita smiles and laughs the audience smiles and laughs. When Alita stands her ground and takes **** from no one the audience responds with “that’s right!”. This is an iconic female heroine in the making.

One thing that is important to note is the exclusion of forced themes. One of the strengths of Alita as a character is her ability to be a badass female without the need of subjugating the viewer to unnecessary dialog pertaining to female power or feminism; something that has grown tiresome to view as many films released in recent years have tried to develop authentic female characters but fail.

Recently in cinema, there has been a push for a greater presence of women (and greater diversity in general) in film; rightfully so and long overdue. However, in doing so the narrative regarding equality and feminism has been dismantled and restructured into something less than what women truly deserve on the big screen.

The strongest and most effective form of feminism that you can present to the viewer is visually capturing her strength, virtue, charisma, and flaws through her actions. Lines like, “You’re pretty good for a girl.” or “Not too bad for a girl.” are absent from this film and it is all apparent in the supporting characters care and respect for Alita as an individual and as one of their own. Show don’t tell.

Alita doesn’t bash or make quips about how better she is than everyone else to justify her actions as a “strong woman”. Gender politics, identity politics, and hidden SJW agendas are non-existent in this film. This strengthens Alita as a role model for young girls and women all around the world; it is the core foundation of what makes her so appealing to everyone—her heart, her innocence, and her level of badassery.

The character development of Alita is so impressing and fun to experience. Every time she is onscreen the viewer can’t help but smile and anticipate what’s to come next. Alita is introduced as a fragment of the past that has no recollection of her role in the world she awakes in. As the story progresses, Alita, as well as the viewer, happen upon the idea of a greater and grander universe to explore as well as further character development. She remembers who she is and knows now what she stands for. “I will not stand by in the presence of evil.” - Alita

There are many moments that are handled with such delicate attention to detail in Alita’s body language that is absent from a majority of characters in cinema, today. From her hand movements to her facial expressions, and in how she fights. She moves with fluidity; in the way she presents herself and in how she speaks.

The story of Alita: Battle Angel is not perfect. It has room for growth and improvement in its potential sequels. It teases big ideas and a universe worth exploring. It drops bits of lore worth expanding upon. The world Alita takes place in is one worth revisiting.… Expand

Not a "bad" adaptation, but not great either. The bad:

Characters and their dialogue could have been tweaked to better bring out the emotion and conviction (motivation) of each character. Surprisingly, the emotion and conviction shown by Alita's character (even though CGI) is amazing. The actress (Rosa Salazar) clearly was more self-aware of her facial and emotional expressions, because she had a ton of sensors on her face following every tiny change of expression. I can't help but feel that the rest of the actors needed this as well to convey their emotion and conviction just as well...
Pacing issues were scattered throughout this movie, from character introductions (e.g. Chiran, Hugo, thug gang etc. ) to locations (e.g. broken down space ship, games arena etc.).
Unfortunately, the movie adaptation misses out on what makes the anime's atmosphere very gritty, dark, mesmerizing and frightening. The anime contained many shocks and unexpected moments...

The good:
The story was likeable and decent, even though it has pacing issues. Alita's emotional acting and her conviction to her ultimate goal are solidly engraved into the movie's core, albeit helped by the CGI. Although, even her character suffered from some poor dialogue choices.
Many scenes are almost identical to the anime, which is a nice touch for hardcore fans out there.
The action scenes and the environment are on a whole new level! They are some of the best action scenes and environments I have seen! The attention to detail and fluidity of movement is incredible. It has been a long time since a movie has completely amazed me with it's action scenes, which is not what I normally focus on or care about. But it has to be brought to attention for this movie.
Overall I would say it's worth seeing at the cinema. It's an interesting and entertaining story for the most part! Really hope, if there is a sequel, they pay more attention to dialogue and pacing of the story, because this movie could have easily been a 9 or 10!… Expand

I have no familiarity with the work on which it is based, but I found the storyline and the characters compelling, with really a fabulous acting job by the actress playing the lead, but also, all of the secondary characters were nuanced and had arcs of their own and felt like real people.

Looking back, I feel bad that I initially dismissed the movie based on the critics reviews. When a movie is stuck in your head for days after seeing it, there must have been something magical about it. Can’t wait for the sequel :)… Expand

The special effects blend well with live action. The plot and story are not trying too hard or distracting from the visuals. Much like Avatar, there is a simpleness to the plot/story which are appreciated in this kind of a film. There is also a nice effort to focus on some messaging that is more neutral in tone as compared to other contemporary flicks such as Captain Marvel which is quite heavy handed. For Alita, she learns that her body is “just a shell” and that she must decide how to use it. There are a few weak points in the film, the most pronounced for me is the male lead who lacks the verve I’d expect at this level; the chemistry wasn’t there for me. This is something you can zone out and watch. Pure eye candy with little twists that you miss if aren’t paying attention for a few seconds. I give it an 85%… Expand

It had some slight pacing issues, but the it's the best anime adaptation I have seen so far. I hoped that Ghost in the Shell would have been more like this.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Little review, one week after seeing the movie. The movie was overall quite fun to watch and entertaining on the first view with beautiful CGI and really good visual effects of which I almost fell in love. The visual aspect of the movie is probably the element that I really enjoyed and I'm still impressed of the quality that they offered. The environment is also beautiful and gives a great spirit of the movie that seems to be able to capture the idea of the Japanese and Manga's culture. However, the visual effects helped for a good entertainment but I felt like if the movie was very empty in the meaning or the story itself with a huge part of the movie turned around the love story between the two characters and it took a place and is very unnecessary and slowing down the story with ridicule dialogues. The background of the story is given to you very quickly and is very blur for those who didn't knew Gunnm before and concentrate itself more on the basic visual spectacle than in telling a full story (I do understand that a movie telling a story would have not been very interesting but I think that they kinda throw out the background at beginning and isn't very relevant). Finally, the story is placing many secondary characters without really using them well (poor Ido's assistant, she looked so annoyed) and the characters didn't succeed in making me enter in a form of compassion. Finally, the end was very disappointing as I left the movie theatre with a huge form of bitterness even though the film was quite entertaining but the ending is very disappointing with a very cliché picture of Alita facing Nova (yes it is a way to hype the audience, but I don't know if I'm the only one like this but no it's very disappointing and not in the good sense)… Expand

I really liked this movie. Alita is a strong protagonist. She grows, she has faults and her imperfection makes her perfect in my eyes. The fight scenes are fun and pretty well done, I love this movie, I hope others will like it as much as I did.

Here's the point where you know that the critics were paid off to give Alita a poor review and then give a terrible movie like Captain Marvel a great review. I liked Alita.

I liked Alita. It did what Wonder Woman did and gave us a strong female character that we could rally behind and truly have and emotional connection with. All this done without forcing agendas (Captain Misandry). The story was actually good. You could follow what was going on and no, you don't need to read the manga to understand things as was stated by the shill critics. The acting is superb with maybe one exception, but it's a small exception. The animation was also very well done but that is to be expected from a James Cameron movie. The battle scenes were overthetop but done extremely well. Total eye-candy.

Really, not a lot bad to say about it. Totally worth a watch and maybe a second one. Also props to the team for their work with prosthetics for kids. I end with saying I WANT MORE!… Expand

Alita is an awesome and instantly likeable character, visuals, world details and action scenes are amazing, main characters look alive and their emotions look genuine, they have good backstories and character development. Plot holes present, the pre-story is a bit rushed, but overall this was an interesting and really entertaining movie. Hoping to see Alita 2.… Expand

Salazar brought exactly the right mix of super-tough-warrior and vulnerable girl to make it work. Not sure she's been given enough credit for this as it's harder than you may imagine.

Christppher Waltz also does a great job of Ido. When I heard they'd cast him in the role, my first thought was that he was a bit too old but he pulls it off with aplomb.

Came out of the movie feeling uplifted. Definitely going to add this one to my permanent collection on DVD/Google play… Expand
