Alita: Battle Angel
Three centuries after a war between Earth and Mars that destroyed all but one of Earth’s sky cities, the peoples of every nation have come together to live beneath its guardian wings. The greatest dream of everyone who lives in its shadow is to earn a place in the city’s ranks.
Now a young girl awakens in the body of a cyborg avatar with no memory of her past. All she knows is that she hates oranges. Until she’s shown that she should peel the skin off first. Then she loves oranges. The movie is full of cute moments like that, as this girl with no memory and a cyborg body learns what it is to be alive. And begins to get flashes of memory of what she did in the past. Mainly when she’s fighting. And she’s really good at fighting.
It’s a movie of good battles, seamless CG, and fun characters. It’s a fun movie to watch, and I enjoyed it very much. If you have even a passing enjoyment of anime, and if you liked the Matrix or Cameron’s Avatar, take a look at this movie. I think you’ll enjoy it.
I give it two cyborg battlefists raised sky high. 🙂
