The process in which the world is built and characters are introduced is clunky at best, but after the introductory fumble, Alita unfolds into a densely packed visual marvel of effects and cyber fantasy that almost begs to be seen on a large screen. It lacks a bit of the extra story elements I’d normally like to see, which leaves the entire package feeling rather hollow for my liking, but if you’re a stickler for CGI and visuals (even at the expense of a more fleshed out narrative), Alita will not disappoint.
Here’s to hoping we get the sequel that fully capitalises on this promising franchise.

7.5 out of 10
Best CG human movements and expressions I've ever seen.
Realy enjoyrd the movie, a rare in its kind these days, don't pay attention to crap criticism on rotten tomato and metacritics
Excellent movie
Great effects and an interesting story line. Can't wait for the sequel to continue this very entertaining and enjoyable movie. Well worth a watch.
Amazing visuals. Strong female lead (not shocked to see Jim Cameron wrote it). Interesting and intricate world action takes place in. Violent. Colorful. Action set pieces are exciting and yet you can actually see it unfold. I had a good time at the cinema house with this. I think you ought to run out and see this on as big a screen as you can. 9/10
so has anyone who saw the movie also seen the anime or at least the Manga and can actually compare?
so it's as usual? the anime is better?
It's more of Cameron than of Rodriguez, I liked it, the part of the fights a lot, the love part less, visually very well
Spectacular "performance capture" (see video link below), great performances (how could it be any less with performances by Christoph Waltz, Mahershala Ali and Jennifer Connelly), wonderful world building by Robert Rodriguez, but a rather disappointing writing (love story fell flat) and story arch (it was as if they planned where they were going and, just as they were about to arrive, they decided to leave the finish to sequel(s) - what a cheat), turning a 9 (superb) movie into a 7 (okay/good) out of 10. [SciFi, Manga based, Action Drama]
