Battle Angel Alita
Added 2019-02-16 00:37:18 +0000 UTCThe Alita movie was awesome! I came in with low expectations, but it ended up being an incredibly well-made movie. It's also doggedly faithful to the spirit of the manga, and they never dumb down any of the science fiction. A++ definitely go see it.
Rosa Salazar and Christoph Waltz should get Oscars. Actually everyone's performance was incredibly good. I'm not used to seeing that in a big budget movie.

I loved the movie. The love interest was a bit horrible, but he was horrible in the manga too. Sometimes being true to the source is a thorny path.

2019-02-18 19:16:35 +0000 UTCMinor spoilers ahead: Things like Duke(the dog)'s death and no Koyomi (baby captured by Makaku(now called Grewishka)) do make me a bit sad. Who will show us the noble side of the Barjack in the next movies? The plasma sword was also a contrived and unneeded prop IMHO, like you need laser swords in your sci-fi to be cool....

2019-02-18 12:40:51 +0000 UTCI'm a Long time reader of the Manga and I just watched it last night, I too had low expectations and was relatively happy with it, Though there were so many changes to the story it is a different story, the atmosphere was captured fairly well. That said I felt there were far too few Cybers on the streets. A scene with someone being converted to cyber on the street was also one of those hings that set the tone in the Manga That was a little lacking in the movie IMHO. Pretty much all cybers are hunter-warriors, or bad guys, very few background characters seemed to be cyber. Will go back to see it again to see what I missed the first time.

2019-02-18 12:39:37 +0000 UTCWaltz was so good. That casting made me happy.
2019-02-16 15:18:49 +0000 UTCWatch it in IMAX 3D! Definitely worth the money.
2019-02-16 03:24:06 +0000 UTCThat's what you get from a labor of love. Sadly, my spouse won't be able to see it - he gets naseous when he looks at the uncanny valley big eye effect on the commercials.
