LOL. Waltz and the fake idol. Like Rosa said, I would also watch that movie.
It's up there for sure.Just got out. I mean this in the literal sense, that was actually the best movie I have ever seen. I've never been so wow'd by visuals, action before. Her acting was amazing too.
I saw it on acid

Weekend actual numbers have been posted, so this is accurate as of now.
Holy shit! I almost completely forgot about that show! It was so good.Seeing all the love for Rosa Salazar makes me want to shout out Man Seeking Woman, a shamefully overlooked comedy show that featured Rosa for a majority of season 2. That was the first time I saw her and she was great in that too so check it out!

Oh, and this movie has one of the best single-use of the word "fuck" in a PG-13 movie. It's a goddamned amazing bit.
MCU film have great CGi but people hyper-focus on the parts that don't look so good. Their approach includes going in and reshooting scenes which means a reshot scene will have less budget for practical sets, etc., and VFX studios have less time to work on effects. It's a compromise since they may be able to tighten up parts of the film that weren't working as well as they'd like, but then there is a chance that the seams will show in the final product.I also forgot to mention this, but the production values in this movie are great. A 200M movie where you can actually see where the 200M went to. The human and cyborg CGI integration is astounding and the best I've seen of this type, never did I feel any kind of disconnect or weirdness. You watch this and then you watch some garbage like the CGI in Black Panther or the use of CGI for suits in Homecoming and Infinity War and the difference is absolutely fucking abysmal. What the hell is even going on at Marvel Studios. Get your shit together.
I second that recommendation. The show is great and her episodes are among the best.

Also, it seemed pretty obvious to me that Alita is pretty sparse with it's use of variety in it's practical sets since everything takes place in Iron City so we see lots of alleyways and rooms from the same sets. That gives them more budget for the wide VFX shots and heavy greenscreen/VFX sequences. Compare that to Black Panther which has multiple different locales in different countries with different rooms (museums, casinos, fields, scrapyards, jungles, waterfalls, streets, thronerooms, etc.) and they have to balance a lot more of the budget for practical set pieces with the VFX set pieces.
How everywhere else got stuck with those garbo posters I don't understand. That poster is great.
The only decent poster in the west is the extreme close up one sheet with the blood as War paint.
Hell yeah.
I felt
Haven't watched this movie yet but can someone please explain to me first why they made the main character have those stupid-looking bug eyes?

Here are my interpretations. I haven't read the manga.Now that i've got some time i have some dire questions that need explaining. I'm assuming some of these will be covered in the sequel but the logic of these are still bothering me
*if some of these are likely to be answered in the sequel, please no heavy spoilers
What was the deal with the Women being murdered at night? I thought it was implying for a good while that Dr. Ido was the killer of women?
If Alita is a soldier from mars, fought on the moon, and apparently had a spaceship...what was the deal with the flashback of her and the other 'angel' climbing the tube to the sky city?
lol wut. what is the significance of motorball and how is that the only way to be granted into a ticket into the sky city? Nova is running motorball?
Was it implying that Nova is the king/ruler of skycity? I thought the flashback said he was a criminal that the 'angels' were hunting?
I saw it in a local IMAX and was dissapointed in their sound system. I have a 11 channel Atmos/DTSX system in my home theater with buttkickers, so I am eagerly awaiting watching this one at home cause it was noticeable to me the lack of bass and surround in the IMAX system I watched it on. The screen was great though =)Anyone see this in Dolby? When the first Centurion walked by ... holy shit.
Here are my interpretations. I haven't read the manga.
* The women were being murdered for body parts by random criminals. Dr. Ido looked to Alita (and us) like he was killing the women, but it turned out he had become a vigilante specifically to fight AGAINST criminals. He mentions that there isn't really a police anymore, so he's trying to be a sort of elderly Batman.
* For whatever reason, Mars was trying to kill all the sky cities. Alita and the other angel were apparently trying to get into the last sky city to destroy it, since that was the overall mission, and it was the last city remaining. It's possible it's because Nova and other elite people were doing horrific experiments or something there.
* Motorball is just the crazy roller derby sport that keeps the masses entertained and pacified. Having the theoretical hope of getting into the elite sky city of noble people gives the common people something to aim for. Vector runs motorball and so he's influential since everyone likes it, and he makes people think that he also has ways of smuggling people up to sky city, but it turns out it's all a scam. Nova is some mysterious villain in the movie who's behind the scenes even over Vector, but this is apparently different from the manga and I'm trying not to spoil myself.
* Nova is portrayed as some sort of mastermind / ruler in skycity but we really don't know anything, and again this is apparently different from the manga. He's basically a big bad villain for a potential sequel.

Saw it yesterday, so fun! Motorball scenes were amazing. Really hope Disney will see all the positive reaction from fans and makes a sequel but it seems unlikely unfortunately..
