I loved the action and animation of this movie. I felt the plot was a little off from perfect though, especially since it's written with a clear ask for a sequel with no sequel in sight.
Rating: 4.8/5

curious he says "You're alive." It seems this is a robot. What would it mean for her to be dead
wow. apparently this is motion capture. practically no difference I can tell between the actual actor (Christoph Waltz) and this captured version of him [oh, probably motion capture is only relevant to Alita]
fruit for sugar levels
he uses the term "total replacement cyborg" and "human brain"
wow. they're making it look like the doctor might be the killer harvesting parts. it could be true, but it's also too obvious that it's likely a mislead
lol classic. the guy who takes out the newbie (i.e., the asshole) gets mad when she takes him out
she said it so innocently "So, I'm 300 years old?" "Sweetheart, you are."
oh no he has to go dfo something... can't be good; not to mention he left her to go home alone
I think that makes sense. Muscle memory (err... mind memory) like when typing a password. I suppose muscle memory isn't exactly in the muscle but in the mind?
"This bitch broke my nose."
I'm guessing she'll lose the fight but the doc will be able to retrieve the head to put into that other battle body.
holy shit. one handed push up into the eye. "Fuck your mercy."
that's so cool. microadjustments to self-image
holy crap. this hunter just went no morals... before he was just an asshole and now he's evil
hehe. the look in her eyes. "I'm sending him to Zalem of course"
"Which ones?" "All of them!"
very cool setup for an assassination attempt
wow. she drops the sword.
teary eyed. "because I love you"
damn... why would Chiren return to him. surely she should have known her actions mean she can't go back
oh right. this guy [Grewishka] is still alive.
nice. regeneration. I was thinking it in my head but perhaps not sure enough to write it down
hehe trivial
oh it's Edward Norton [his cameo is uncredited]
grab him with your feet?
well she was able to jump over it...
seems like now would have been a good time to go up
wow. this movie was made in 2019, begging for a sequel, and seemingly no sequel exists [Wikipedia says "A sequel is in development" but no source]

Wish (2023)
20240806:
Overall, the movie doesn't have the best story and something is lacking. Perhaps it's lacking a magic spark, which is a little funny because the movie literally has magic in it. In any case, it had great music and a wonderful concept.

hmm. so the rule is you forget your wish when you give it. which is strange cause... if you give up your wish how can you pursue your dream?
left alone in the room. what if there's some secret
the king shows her the wishes and after she says they're everything... I cant help but think the twist here is that the king... although well intentioned is kind of the hidden villain somehow.
this song about i will protect you seems the king is good but songs like Frozen Hans turns out to be bad
in this conversation, the king is the gatekeeper of wishes and wont grant some and asha says adjacent to my point about giving back so they can pursue their wishes
we see a hint of the evilness potential of the king as he lashes at asha
pause where the star reveals itself to Asha
resume at 68 minutes remaining
hehr the goat talking was definitely foreshadowed (earlier in the movie with wondering what the goat says)
initially strange but fun track that sounds great
hehe see the mushrooms
"You're a star"
haha. "don't mention it Bambi." and the reply by Bambi was certainly Bambi's voice
ha. "A squirrel just said good morning to me"
is the girl that slipped a way the hidden spy, even though Gabo is loud, he seems true to not be a squealer
hmm she specificallt mentioned saba and her mom but it's everyones wishes at stake. i feel like she misrepresented herself. in any case her friend understood
oh. so she only wanted saba and her mom's wish after all...
hehe villain gets a cool song (as opposed to a kind of standard villain song, e.g. scar or mother knows best thought well i guess that song is kind of cool). but this song is like 80s fun withoit the knowing its bad
wow ok so that's like a transformation transition song
huh he didnt kniw the wishes have power... i thought all this time his power came from the wishes. that's interesting to me
hah. some comic relief. shark. just practicing.
where did the book come from exsctly
hehe Bazeema is an introvertso she has a place for herself
take a break and retirn yo hotel to watch o phone
hehe he said "Fantasyland in the sky... how about Neverland"
"the perfect nanny for your horrible children?" mary poppins? ["Poppin this one"]
I feel like if she wished on one star she or the people can wish on more. (Star is trapped)
he blocks the clouds... would that really block wishing? wishing is like a deeper human feeling
lol the goat's dream is a reference to Zootopia
Mickey ear fireworks
credits have disney constellations. various movies. I recognize most, excepting one or two. will have to watch again when I can type as it goes
Saba plays "When You Wish Upon A Star" (caption says Disney Theme)
