Alita: Battle Angel (2019)

20240824 Comment: 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

Instant Comments:
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]
