Nate H. reviewed Alita: Battle Angel (2019)
Review from the comment
Let's get the obvious thing out of the way: Robert Rodriguez has created one of the most gorgeous live action animated films in all of history. The backgrounds and character models offer new proof of what is capable in CGI on the big screen, and for this alone Alita is in a class of its own.
But sadly, the script doesn't hold to the glamour. The acting and voice overs are fine, but I came across feeling like Alita had a story born on the Playstation, something we would see in a Final Fantasy like RPG and even then, one that would blow away no one with its premise. Its only adequate, and adequate is the breaker of all things, even things as beautiful as this.
