Based on the mange Battle Angel Alita by Yukito Kishiro.

Screenplay by James Cameron and Laeta Kalogridis.

Starring Rosa Salazar, Christoph Waltz, Keean Johnson, Mahershala Ali, Ed Skrein, Michelle Rodriguez, Jackie Earle Haley, Jennifer Connelly.

So uh.. how are we feeling about Alita literally looking like an anime character in this ha?

 

this looks pretty cool

 

The cast is phenomenal, but MAN she looks like the gritty version of Bee Movie lady

 

This doesn't look good.

I don't understand why they cast a relative unknown and used CGI to make her look like a vaguely manga inspired video game character. Why not instead cast an actress of Asian descent and let her look like, um, herself?

 

I'll see it but the effects on her look pretty bad. The cast is amazing though and it looks like they are taking this serious.

I hope this does well, Robert Rodriguez needs another hit and is such a great director.

 

I've only read the first volume of the manga but I really liked that. Need to read more of it.

 

this looks fucking goofy

 

Pushed back to December.

Hopefully to fix that wacky anime face.

 

Woof, that new date is busy. Aquaman, Bumblebee, and Holmes & Watson all come out that same day, apparently. That's... a lot.

 

I'm honestly really looking forward to both Aquaman and Bumblebee.

This movie? Nope. Hard pass. Surprised I was still subscribed to this thread, lol.

 

I'm not particularly interested in this movie, and am only mildly interested in Aquaman, but I am so curious why they thought this date was a good move. It's already a crowded weekend.

 

Really? Why? Like I honestly don’t see why that would be considered a good idea to push it back that far

 

Maybe I'm a sucker, but the source material and people involved in front of and behind the camera has my looking forward to this still.

Also Aqua Man

 

Ya, December is crowded. Mortal Engines, Aquaman, Spider-Man, Holmes and Watson, Bumblebee, Mary Poppins, Bohemian Rhapsody. Almost feels like they're dumping it.

 

I really really want this to be good. The love plotline looks shoddy, and some of the dialogue sounds corny, but it has a lot of potential and I love the look of the main character

 

Early buzz for this is strong.

 

I guess I'll try to see this after all. Pretty sure it's gonna bomb at the box office, but it's nice to hear it's good.

 

Hm, I’m shocked, but intrigued now.

 

Eh i didn’t care if it was good or not... it just looks fun

 

I feel like I saw the first trailer for this movie like two years ago. How is it not out yet?!

 

I genuinely thought this film was already out.

 

It got pushed back a couple times

 

Seeing this tonight, kind of excited now.
