Alita: Battle Angel

Starring: Rosa Salazar, Christoph Waltz, Jennifer Connelly, et al.

From visionary filmmakers James Cameron (AVATAR) and Robert Rodriguez (SIN CITY), comes ALITA: BATTLE ANGEL, an epic adventure of hope and empowerment. When Alita (Rosa Salazar) awakens with no memory of who she is in a future world she does not recognize, she is taken in by Ido (Christoph Waltz), a compassionate doctor who realizes that somewhere in this abandoned cyborg shell is the heart and soul of a young woman with an extraordinary past. As Alita learns to navigate her new life and the treacherous streets of Iron City, Ido tries to shield her from her mysterious history while her street-smart new friend Hugo (Keean Johnson) offers instead to help trigger her memories. But it is only when the deadly and corrupt forces that run the city come after Alita that she discovers a clue to her past - she has unique fighting abilities that those in power will stop at nothing to control. If she can stay out of their grasp, she could be the key to saving her friends, her family and the world she's grown to love.

Customer Reviews

An Ultra-violent cartoon going nowhere

Found on a trash heap, repurposed, and given the name Alita. Alita needs to find out who she was and her original purpose. To do this, she relies on her reanimator's new father and possibly a new love interest. In the process, there are good guys and bad guys, but no one is wearing black or white hats. Then there are all those gray areas. In the end, there is no end. So, we should not be threatened by a sequel. For those with old-time technology, there is a 3D version floating around. There are surprisingly popular names of actors. Jennifer Connelly as Chiren, known for “Dark City” (1998), where she sings “Sway with Me.” No spoilers, but nothing gets wrapped up. It is like watching a series that was canceled.
