Alita: Battle Angel - Movie Review
A disembodied female cyborg is brought back to life by a cybersurgeon who finds her in a junkyard of Iron City.
Cast - Rosa Salazar, Christoph Waltz, Jennifer Connelly, Keean Johnson, Mahershala Ali
Directed By - Robert Rodriguez
Genre - Sci-Fi, Fantasy
The year is 2563, and the Earth had faced a war known as "The Fall". The rich had settled in the city of Zalem which floats in the sky while the poor inhabit the ground. No subtlety here. While going through a junkyard, a cybersurgeon, Dr Dyson Ido (Christoph Waltz) comes across a dismantled cyborg, brings her back to life and names her Alita (Rosa Salazar). This pretty much sums up the basics as the rest of the runtime is dedicated to the evolution of Alita as she tries to connect the dots from her past and makes some new relations on the way.
The cyberpunk world of Alita: Battle Angel is terrific and is best enjoyed on a big screen with 3D. The CGI is jaw-dropping and one of the best in recent times. The world is big, and the action sequences are beautifully rendered pumping up your adrenaline during the fights. There is a racing game called "Motorball" where the cyborgs fight each other to death. This sport gives us some of the best exciting scenes in the film.
Rosa Salazar comes off as a delightful surprise. She drowns us into her big innocent eyes. The other characters don't shine through, and that takes away some weight from the dramatic scenes. The moments are not earned and fail to evoke sympathy from them although the actors do an excellent job in their parts.
But Alita: Battle Angel is not made for a cerebral, thought-provoking experience. It could have gone thematically with the rich and the poor divide, but it doesn't. It is made for entertainment, and it does succeed on that level. It is based on Yukito Kishiro's manga series Gunnm which I had never read or heard of before this film's release. It's good news for the fans that the Hollywood is adapting such source materials on the big screen making it accessible to a broader audience out there. What is even better is the fact that they give there best in delivering the final product to the audience. They care and respect the source material they adapt.
I don't have anything more to say about the movie and would like to add again that I enjoyed every minute of it. The story follows the same old tropes with nothing new up its sleeves, and that may be the only disappointment here including the less fleshed out side characters. However, in the end, you come out satisfied with a smile on your face.
