Storyline

Alita is a creation from an age of despair. Found by the mysterious Dr. Ido while trolling for cyborg parts, Alita becomes a lethal, dangerous being. She cannot remember who she is, or where she came from. But to Dr. Ido, the truth is all too clear. She is the one being who can break the cycle of death and destruction left behind from Tiphares. But to accomplish her true purpose, she must fight and kill. And that is where Alita's true significance comes to bear. She is an angel from heaven. She is an angel of death.

Trivia

The main character, even though the film is live-action, is done with CG animation and was shot in 3-D, using the stereo imaging system that James Cameron had been developing for his documentaries.

Goofs

Alita is seen eating normal human food a few times after she is initially created (an orange, a chocolate bar, and a sandwich wrap), but as a cyborg, she does not have the biological means to process and digest it, so where does the food go?

Quotes

Alita: I'd do whatever I had to for you. I'd give you whatever I have. I'd give you my heart.

User Reviews

I thoroughly enjoyed the film. Don't easily trust people who only give destructive criticism. Just watch and prove it

I love the way the director delevoped the character. He's been successfully made not only the character fearless, but also considerate. The action sequences are also the essential elements of this movie and they executed them perfectly. I wish the script could be better knowing that it is almost impossible to build a 2-hour movie script based on a multi-volume manga to explain the whole story. But overall, this movie is worth watching and deserves to be at least nominated for Best Visual Effects
