Leave your thoughts about Alita: Battle Angel.
| The AtlanticDavid SimsTrue to its origins, Alita is a living cartoon of a film, which only makes its ridiculousness easier to absorb. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalle"Alita” is an action movie, and some of that is who-cares. But the bigger thing about this film is that it makes us think about humanness, what it means, what it is, and what it might be in the future. |
| The Associated PressMark KennedyThe film crams in so many plot lines that it risks being overstuffed but somehow stays true to its mesmerizing vision and emerges as a sci-fi success, if not a triumph. |
| IGNWilliam BibbianiAlita: Battle Angel is Robert Rodriguez’s best film in many years. It’s an ambitious, impressive, visually spectacular production with great performances that make its strange world seem real. |
| CineVueMartyn ConterioNot without flaws, but nothing to get too worked up about, Alita: Battle Angel is cynicism-free, first-class popcorn entertainment spearheaded by a knockout performance from Salazar. A star is born. |
| Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranIf you’re in the mood for a movie like “Alita,” “Alita” is the movie you’re in the mood for. |
| IndieWireMichael NordineAlita: Battle Angel is [Rodriguez’s] best film since he brought Frank Miller’s graphic novel to the screen, a sci-fi epic that does something rare in an age of endless adaptations and reboots: lives up to its potential while leaving you wanting more. |
| The PlaylistCory WoodroofAlita lays out her empathetic groundwork early and rarely diverges from it. How wonderful to have a hero that always follows through with what she fights for. How wonderful to have a blockbuster that aspires for so much and mostly delivers on those ambitions. |
| New York Magazine (Vulture)Emily YoshidaThe only reason any of this works at all is Salazar and, I hate to say it, those goddamned big eyes. They’re the windows to the soul, after all, and this ungainly, lurching cyborg of a would-be blockbuster has more of that than meets the eye. |
| Film ThreatAlan NgIf you approach Alita: Battle Angel like a standard action film, where you’re there just for the stunts, you will have a good time. The world created by James Cameron and Robert Rodriguez is visually stunning. Rosa Salazar is fantastic as Alita, and she shines in her mocap performance. |
