#AlitaBattleAngel is a wild, visceral ride that offers kick-ass action, an immersive virtual world and a surprising amount of emotional weight. Everything rests on you loving the character of Alita and she is fully fleshed out; strong, flawed, endearing and rebellious

There are a lot of surprises in #AlitaBattleAngel with some dark turns and violent bursts of action, as well as characters that break free of being humdrum digital beings and emerge as fully rounded individuals. Spectacle is aplenty, but it’s not without investment.

Saw #AlitaBattleAngel, a sci-fi genre landmark offering an immersive glimpse into a future world of haves and have-nots, with Rosa Salazar’s cyborg as its powerful avenging angel. Her photoreal CG performance is amazingly nuanced. Only complaint is the film left me wanting more. pic.twitter.com/vjhUePUfWW

I saw the 3D trailer when I went to see Spider-Verse, and it looked fantastic. A major step up from the first teaser. Can't wait to see it.

Been waiting for Battle Angel Alita since hearing James Cameron talk about his plans during a Q&A, right before he switched that production into Avatar instead.

Better not blow.

Hopefully it will be good.

I can't say the trailers do much for me honestly, but Cameron usually backs good films (when they're not called Avatar). And Rodriguez needs a hit so I'm hoping this one comes through for him.
