    I have been an enormous fan of the series since it started in early 90s. It’s such a compelling story and has amazing elements within their characters. Truth be told, when I saw the trailers for it I was very skeptical but decided to watch it on a sneak peek weekend. It was the best decision I made in regards to theater experiences. A couple of wonderful things to touch base on are: It is very faithful to the manga (with some touch of Hollywood but it is done tastefully). It has a great pace and you don’t need to read the manga to know what’s going on. Robert Rodriguez, James Cameron and John landau do an amazing job in keeping it very fluid and captivating the audiences. I personally saw the movie 35 times in the theater in every format available (IMAX, Cinemark XD, DBOX, 3D digital, and digital) and my only regret is I didn’t have more chances to watch it in IMAX and DBOX! I humbly ask you to give it a try and make the judgement yourself. I can’t promise everyone will love it, but I sincerely hope it resonates with you and as it did me.

    Masterful sci-fi. Incorporating all kinds of potential technologies to come. Needs a prequel or a sequel with plenty of back story.

    #alitaarmy Rosa Salazar and crew knock it out of the park on so many levels. Gets better every time I watch it. Too much to take in on first viewing. Bought this for friends and got special edition for self.

    A Kick-Butt Sci-Fi Action Movie with Heart

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This Robert Rodriguez-directed science-fiction movie was made by a wonderful cast and crew and produced by James Cameron and Jon Landau; thus, it should not be surprising that this movie features great action and groundbreaking special effects. The dystopian landscape presented here is effective and compelling. Unlike some futuristic dystopian stories, however, this one has warmth. Rosa Salazar’s Oscar-worthy performance as Alita provides the heart and soul to this CGI-generated character, resulting in a most endearing heroine. Due to both Ms. Salazar’s “performance capture” and the CGI magic provided by the New Zealand VFX company, Weta Digital, it becomes easy to forget that one is watching a CGI-generated image instead of a real person. Among several other performances that are worthy of note, Christoph Waltz’s portrayal of Doctor Ido contributes to a father-daughter dynamic with the Alita character that is relatable and ultimately rewarding to behold. Moreover, Tom Holkenborg’s soundtrack not only succeeds in intensifying the drama and augmenting the emotional highs and lows, but is also a lovely work of art in itself. Be warned, however, that Alita’s journey cannot be contained by a single movie. Therefore, you might run the risk of craving for more. At the time of this writing, the possibility of a sequel is uncertain. Fortunately, this movie is very rewatchable and holds up very well to multiple viewings. The special features that are included are both interesting and informative and further makes this movie worthwhile to own. Highlights include the description of the backstory to Alita’s world and several scenes showcasing the raw, pre-animated motion capture performances. The latter will give the viewer a greater appreciation of the work of Ms. Salazar and other cast and crew.

    It's a Bluray movie. looks great, plays well. Nice choices of special features. If you enjoy the movie and think it's worth owning, and have the money to put toward the purchase. Go for it.

    I mean…what else can be said about one of the boldest films of all time? My close buddy can’t stand this movie to his core and has refused to even watch it. The mere mention of this film to him shakes him to his core. So of course I purchased this for his birthday. He dislikes me just a little bit more now. That’s what friendships all about.

    Alita: Battle Angel!

    I was looking for an action movie and decided to get this one. I've seen the trailer for this movie and it looked great. Yeah, I know it isn't always a good idea to buy a movie based on it's trailer but I'm glad I did this time! The visuals and action scenes were amazing. Story and pace of the film was good too. The ending wasn't the best but I think it was left that way because the filmmakers were betting on making a sequel(s). Haven't heard anything about a sequel but if there's going to be one, definitely will watch it to see how the story continues.

    A great movie to have for your collection. Pretty respectful of the source material and I kinda thinks improves over certain aspects of the comic as well. For the price you really can't miss having this in your collection, especially if you enjoyed the movie. Who knows, maybe we'll be blessed with a sequel one day.

    Great Sci-fi/Manga Adaptation

    Alita is a wonderful story that takes you into a world where cybernetic individuals (people with robotic replacement parts) are normal. The story makes you fall in love with the wonder that Alita has for the world around her. She is by far the best character in the story, though most of the characters are enjoyable. The good people are actually good and the story's villains are despicable. I would have appreciated if the friendship/love interest boy character was more deeply developed. This was a clear attempt to create a multi-film series which causes the story to have an open ended conclusion. Nevertheless I have enjoyed watching this film repeatedly since it came out.

    Incredible action movie with a heart

    How do know a good movie? Watch it a second time and see if it has the same punch. This one does. It is a mix of live action with real sets. The animation of Alita will have you convinced she is real and that is a testament of the actor Rosa Salazar and the animators. By now you should know the plot, Alita's discarded body was found and put into a cyborg body initially made for his daughter, Alita, who couldn't walk. Unfortunately she was killed, the doc saved the mechanical body, eventually giving it to the girl he found in the trash. Now, buy the movie and marvel at what follows. It's one of those movies you will watch over and over again just because it is that good.

    As a long time fan of the series, I've been waiting for this movie for a very long time. I'm pleasantly surprised by the film as it had great action scenes, beautiful CGI, stunning choreography and directing during the complex fight scenes and a cohesive story. I enjoyed following Alita's journey and seeing, on screen, a strong female protagonist. The cast was wonderful and I really enjoyed the ties back to the manga. Many moments and scenes from the comic made it into the film so that was a delight to see. Overall, I hope this franchise has a future and more films continue to come! This is the movie I waited over 20 years to see!

    Physical media is so hard to find these days. However, Best Buy saved the day with this original copy of Alita Battle Angel on Blu-ray. A great movie if you like the genre.

    Very good story, Very good special effects, very good acting! Don't read the books but I was very enthused by this movie. An old man looking through garbage piles for tech scraps to use finds the top part of a cyborg whose brain is still functioning, so he brings her to his place and gives her a replacement body. When she awakens, she doesn't remember her past. People are going missing and presumed used for replacement parts for fighting cyborgs in the big game. Naturally, the evil overlords want to control or destroy her but she has her own plans. Thoroughly entertaining work and fully re-watchable!

    I remember seeing previews for this movie thinking it could be good, but I was on the fence and bought it on a whim. It turns out to be a surprisingly good movie. The doctor finds Alita and implants her with his daughter's likeness not knowing she was a former battle droid. There are several emotional connections in the movie that drive the plot forward while Alita discovers her past and learns to fight like a warrior along the way. This movie is recommended for action and science fiction fans as well as anyone who like a good story.

    I remember seeing the trailer for this film when it was originally released and thought it looke stupid but then I saw it on TV and loved it and wanted to add it to my film library. The blu ray has good picture and sound and it was well worth the purchase price. I’m very happy with my purchase.

    Whether or not you're a sci-fi fan or hate Alita's anime eyes- you have to admit that the things Robert Rodriguez and James Cameron accomplished with technology, and the world that they created, are AMAZING! Rosa Salazar shines as Alita and as much of that is owed to the animators of Alita's face as it is to Salazar's performance. It is completely a Rodriguez movie and his touch shines throughout. Here's to hoping for a sequel to see Salazar's innocent and brave Alita along with another enjoyable Rodriguez film.
