MY NETFLIX MOVIE REVIEWS #215


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. Written by Anthony Harmon (Courtesy of Internet Movie Database)

ALITA: BATTLE ANGEL (2019) Is directed by Robert Rodriguez, written by James Cameron & Laeta Kalogridis and produced by James Cameron & Jon Landau. Having been waiting for the release of this film for some time and to see it finally reach me, I was filled with anticipation to watch, but I also hoped it just didn’t suck. 

Having been a fan of Robert Rodriguez as far back as EL MARIACHI, I knew his capabilities and wondered what he’d do with this film. Upon watching and seeing we were introduced into a fascinating new world further piqued my interest.  As the story developed, we were introduced to some intriguing characters that continued to help drive the story. I felt the pace of the film gave you everything you needed to understand this new world as well as better understand the character of Alita.

In the End: ALITA: BATTLE ANGEL was a fun film creating a believable universe and compelling characters with a story that could lead to further films. So I give it 3.75 stars of 5.
