Alita: Battle Angel - Robert Rodriguez
Action & Adventure, Romance - PG-13 - 2019
Coming to terms with her new reality, Alita navigates the streets of Iron City with the intention of discovering more about her mysterious past. Dr. Ido, a father figure to the girl, tries to shield her from her old life, BUT - her new street-smart love interest, Hugo, offers to help trigger some old memories and find out who she really.
Yo, I straight up fuckin loved this movie. It is easily my favorite Robert Rodriguez movie since From Dusk Till Dawn. Very hard to top.
A little whimsical and goofy at times - Alita: Battle Angel is an absolute action-packed visual delight. It’s a tale of hope and empowerment in the face of adversity. The big CGI eyes thing definitely seems off at first, but you get used to it.The original idea for this film was conceived by James Cameron around 15 years ago. Originally an early 1990’s Japanese cyberpunk manga series called Alita, he was apparently very dedicated to making this film happen; but got sidetracked with Avatar. He eventually called upon Robert Rodriguez to direct it, with Cameron signed on as the producer. I think they really nailed it. You don’t have to be familiar with the source material to become absolutely enthralled in this world they’ve created.
