Discuss, virgins.

Looks like they fixed the CG from the teasers to make it less weird. Still in the uncanny valley, but it's feels more intentional and less because of incompetence. I could actually see it being a pretty good movie.

the trailers dont look too enticing tbh... but i trust the people behind the film

I was expecting Wall-E to be on the garbage heap in the first scene.

Will probably stream it.

I liked the movie overall (outside of a few cheesey parts), but that ending :lol

I didn't come in expecting Schindler's List or whatever. It was worth the 8.50 I paid I'll say that. The special effects/CGI was really well done. I could hardly tell the difference between CGI Alita and the human actors in the same frame

I thought it was really good. People who have seen the anime/read the manga say it was true to the original story. and the CGI was pretty incredible. definitely gonna see it again tbh, solid 8/10

Apparently it's the first in a planned trilogy. The super long review below is from a guy who has read a ton of the manga. I didn't realize how popular it was in Japan but apparently over there, Alita is hot shit.

The original manga doesn't seem to be very adaptable. The first arc was the traditional hero's journey, perfect for a movie. Then it becomes strange and episodic, with an abrupt ending. I still want to see the movie, but I doubt the material covered will come close to Last Order.
