Alita: Battle Angel follows a decommissioned cyborg brought back to life with no memory of who she was. When put in a threatening situation, the cyborg instinctively starts fighting like a trained soldier and, well, you know, the drill. If you’ve ever seen a movie before, you know that Alita’s secret past involves some kind of military/secret agent training, and despite her non-threatening looks, she’s actually a butt-kicking warrior extreme.
Hey, I never said the movie had an original plot. Where Alita: Battle Angel really shines is in its visuals and fight scenes. Robert Rodriguez not only borrowed Alita’s look from the world of anime but also copied the medium’s kinetic action sequences.
The movie is chock-full of crazy, over-the-top cyborg battles that will satisfy any moviegoer ravenous for some bloodless violence.
