I’ve seenAlitaand absolutely loved it. James Cameron, Robert Rodriguez and Jon Landau have crafted something special and it’s one of those rare films that’s actually worth seeing in 3D. Trust me, the visual effects are insane, the action set pieces are easy to follow and well shot, andRosa Salazaris fantastic as Alita. In addition, the world ofAlitais the type of place I wish I could visit and hope they’re able to make future installments.
And I’m not alone.
Last night, Fox showed the movie for free to fans in 30 US markets and the reaction was fantastic. I looked around Twitter and saw so many positive tweets echoing what I’ve been saying.
Finally, when you seeAlita, make sure to see it in IMAX. That’s because you get 26% more image in IMAX theaters. Hope to see some of you Wednesday night!
Here’s the officialAlitasynopsis followed by some recent links.
From visionary filmmakers James Cameron (AVATAR) and Robert Rodriguez (SIN CITY), comes ALITA: BATTLE ANGEL, an epic adventure of hope and empowerment. When Alita (Rosa Salazar) awakens with no memory of who she is in a future world she does not recognize, she is taken in by Ido (Christoph Waltz), a compassionate doctor who realizes that somewhere in this abandoned cyborg shell is the heart and soul of a young woman with an extraordinary past. As Alita learns to navigate her new life and the treacherous streets of Iron City, Ido tries to shield her from her mysterious history while her street-smart new friend Hugo (Keean Johnson) offers instead to help trigger her memories. But it is only when the deadly and corrupt forces that run the city come after Alita that she discovers a clue to her past – she has unique fighting abilities that those in power will stop at nothing to control. If she can stay out of their grasp, she could be the key to saving her friends, her family and the world she’s grown to love.
Alitaalso starsJennifer Connelly,Mahershala Ali,Ed Skrein,Jackie Earle Haley, and opens February 14th.
