I'm pretty excited about this. I remember as a kid my neighbor lending me his battle angel manga. I never really got into it (or mangas in general) but I've always loved the idea behind this. This movie has been rumored to be in the making by Cameron for so long.. I was surprised to see this thread pop up and it's suddenly a reality. Interesting that they made Alita look manga'ish with huge eyes. It looks "strange valley"ish odd and it works perfectly. James Cameron knows how to make/produce a blockbuster. It looks great, let's just hope the scenario matches the imagery.

Full trailer of 1m54 is here btw :

Personally I thought it looked pretty meh.

Those eyes look really off, like I get what they were trying to do but jeez.

Also let’s hope it isn’t another movie where the CGI is great but the rest of the film sucks.

At first the eyes really bugged me... but watching the trailer a second time I got used to it already. From a financial perspective though kind of seems like a risky move for a big budget film.

I couldnt tell if this was supposed to be an entirely CGI movie until about a third of the way through.

Anyways, looks good.

So I saw it and I thought it was great. I was waiting to see if someone would bump it but it seems no one will. Still hoping that it can not be a loss with China/Japan openings today. I want to see a second one at least.

Saw it today, quite enjoyed it. Some of the script was a little weak, but it featured mostly good acting with great effects and cinematography. Nice pace to the movie.

Also hope they make enough money on this to do the sequel.

That would probably be released by Disney.

I'm going to be quite disappointed if there is no sequel. Very good action movie (one of the better ones I have seen in years) that at least stayed somewhat close to the anime.

Surprised, was expecting something bad. Really enjoyed this one.

I'd give this 7+/10. Had potential to be a lot better. James Cameron sure knows how to f*** up these days. Some really cringy dialogue and Christophe Waltz just mailed it in. If it gets a sequel, I hope someone competent will be in charge.
