Alita: Battle Angel - Official Trailer #3
- Thread starter Demon Lizardman
- Start date
"You are the most human person, I have ever met."
Lol that line got a hell of an eyeroll from me.
Otherwise it seemed like it could actually be fun. Wasn't planning to, but I think I'll check this out at some point.
The eyes look much better but I still don't get why they even did it.
I can't nbe they only one thinking it would be better to not have CGI in the first place.

They look fractionally smaller and they've made the irises bigger, but the big change is the sclera aren't such a bright white colour so they don't stand out as much.
It looks nice and I'll watch everything James Cameron touches but the trailer hasn't convinced me it'll have a good story.
I wanted to say this looks quite anime, but the truth is... it has more of a manga feel, which is a good thing considering we're talking about BA:A.
Mildly optimistic.

Of course there's a love story there as well. God forbid we have a Hollywood movie without one.
With a fucking destructive robot. Ugh

I think yesterday's Detective Pikachu's trailer helped normalize Alita's look...great timing Cameron and Rodriguez lol
Hope the final film turns out to be alright.

"You are the most human person, I've ever met." - When you haven't had sex in a really long time.
Still looks kind of lame to me. I hope the James Cameron name pulls a TON of weight on this one, because he's the only person that can seemingly make a high-concept CG-driven sci fi film that doesn't bomb spectacularly. These type of movies usually absolutely tank at the box office.
With the blood under her eyes I finally get why they made them so big, it's definitely a lot more iconic that way. Still clashes with the rest of the characters though.
The dialogue is very corny I'm afraid.

Oops. Still looks like a trash tacked on subplot in what appears to be a cool movie. Oh well
Yeah, I'm just surprised that they're basically fitting four books into one movie. They'll have to be some pretty major cuts.
That's directly from the manga
Spoiler alert:
The cute love interest is actually a black market organ dealer
Hm, this too is an improvement upon the original trailer at least.
This.
I am VERY curious as to how they intend to handle
just what a scoundrel Hugo turned out to be. Maybe make it so that he only scavenges spines from the dead, or perhaps go in a different direction entirely? Would be surprised if they have the nerve to play it straight.
Going into this movie with no idea of what it's about beyond what has been shown these trailers are building some big excitement. Looking spectacular. I have no idea how that arena battle fits into all this but it's great. They're really showcasing the violence aspect which was something that was a concern from some fans solely based on the rating. Rodriguez has made some violent movies so that concern may have been overstated.
The visuals look much improved from the first trailers. They're making good use of the delays.
Now for some tracks from JunkieXL.
They're making it worth the wait.

Yeah, the PG-13 rating is my biggest worry with the film. I'm hoping they keep as much of the the original vibe as possible.
The source material is much too violent for the PG-13 rating they're going for, so things being toned down will be a given.
"I'm an insignificant girl" is a callback to the anime. That was the title of the song from the end credits.
Jennifer Connelly is dead. I hope we see Jashugan.
Why didnt they go full on fx on this, every scene with a real human looks green screened and out of place.
MOTORBALL YES!!!
Even better than the last trailer. Still giving some emotion and insight into the characters, but balancing that with more action as well.

Is it like a requirement that the line "she is upsetting the natural order of things" be in all movies of this type?
Because the general movie-going audience doesn't show up for serious animated films aimed at adults.
Looks like a fun flick so I'll likely catch in theaters. Even if the story is trash, I expect it to be more interesting than Avatar.
The anime doesn't get that far. It's actually fairly short - probably similar in runtime to what this movie will be.
There's an old CG short out there of the sport being played though.
Downplaying her significance was a factor in the lyrics of the song, but the title of the OVA's end credits theme itself was Cyborg Mermaid.
And yeah, would be very surprised to see Jennifer Connelly make it out alive, given what happens to her anime-only character. Jashugan should at least be a possibility, given accounting for the Motorball arc.
Finally some Motorball footage. Day Fucking One.
The anime didn't cover Motorball, only the first arc before she becomes a Motorballer.

I hope it makes a lot of money so we have more M rated manga to live action cg adaptation. Berserk for example.
I wonder if they're gonna keep everything as is (such as one of the seemingly good characters actually being a dick). This is also going to pack like four volumes into one movie, which could be way too packed. It does look fairly faithful over all. I'm skeptical and I wish that Cameron was at the head of this, but I'll still watch it in theaters.
