Battle Angel Alita (2018)
First trailer
Dynamic tag cannot be rendered. (PrintableThread) |
I dunno how I feel about this one, a solid mix of "YAY" and "Oh god how are they going to screw this one up"
|
You mean this is actually going to be a thing? I swear it's been stuck in Development Hell for like 20 years now...

Also, the massive eyes do kinda bother me, but given how everyone else looks in the movie it seems to be an intentional story choice rather than just trying to make the character look closer to the manga. Not hoping for much here given every other anime to Hollywood adaptation (the only one that sorta worked was All You Need Is Kill being adapted into Edge of Tomorrow), so keeping a cautious eye on this one. |
While the eyes look weird, i think it fits the theme of the film since she's a cyborg or something.

Let's hope the movie follows the manga instead of the lame anime.

The funny thing is, the live action movie seems to try to match the actress' face with Gally/Alita to the point where they make her eyes big like in the manga :heh:: Dynamic tag cannot be rendered. (PrintableThread) |
Too bad there is no Desty Nova.
Tho I may be disappointed if they didnt cast Christopher Lloyd as Desty Nova. Like how I felt Ron Pearlman would have been perfect as Batou in GiTS live. |

As for the GUNNM what drives me away is not the eyes, who gives a damn about eyes? The real problem is R13 and the setting. What's up with those clean streats and fancy clothes? What's with their skin and what every they had instead of skin? It looks like they spend more time in front of the mirror than fighting for resources and food. This should be postapocalyptic world, mix of Trigun and Mad Max. Even lower life even more hightech. I'm really disappointed right now. |

The big eyes somehow look better/smaller on the statues? Not that familiar with Battle Angel personally, but that battle getup looks really cool! |

I'm quite willing to give this one a very fair shot.

Still hideous and won't be touching this movie purely on how dumb they made the lead girl look and their stupidly moronic reason for it.

Watched the movie and was pleasantly surprised. I rank it up with Edge of Tomorrow as very good manga-to-movie adaptation.
Canon-wise - its mixing the two first volumes of the manga with bits of the Motorball arc that serves as a sequel hook with Spoiler:
And took elements from the OAV with the Gurushika and Chiren as canon immigrants. Bits of background were changed to fit the narrative of the movie in a post-9/11 world Spoiler:
Spoiler:
Robert Rodriguez played down some of his typical director tics, so it could feel more like a Cameron movie. The fight choregraphy is tight and Rosa Salazar have fit the shoes of Alita very well. And yes, this is the kind of movie that feel like what happen when the production staff love the original material rather than an opportunistic cash grab. PS: A shoutout to one of my friends from middle school who lent my his Alita volumes back in the day so I could read the original story till the end. He wont see the movie he wanted to see one day, because a car driven by an idiot who was phoning while driving hit him in 2015, leaving him not a chance. RIP my friend. |
Seen it, again a pleasant surprise like the GITS movie. Hollyweeb movies are not a joke anymore. The various cyborg designs were awesome.
|
The movie's theme song is great.
