Based upon the graphic novel ("Manga") series "GUNNM" by Yukito Kishiro - 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.
I really enjoyed this movie. I wasn't really sure what to think from the movies because it was going to be one of those science fiction movies where how good it is was totally dependent on whether they were able to transport you to their made up world or not. This movie did a great job of taking you there. You really bought that this world could exist and visually effects wise it was really cool. The action was also awesome throughout. I really liked it a lot and was pleasantly surprised.
I would definitely recommend fans of these kinds of movies checking this out. It really had a little of everything in it and I enjoyed it a lot.
