Alita is fine
Lucas Foster
So is the sequel green lit or not?
Camden Powell
He knows he can get the execs to give him the money since he will make billions with his Avatar movies.
Mason Davis
>post yfw someone somewhere has seen Alita and as such has now decided to dedicated their life to advancing cybernetic robotics to the point that it truly becomes a reality in the near future >post yfw cyber gf's will soon be a reality in our lifetimes >post yfw it was all because James Cameron decided to raise the bar
Yes and "in development" is almost meaningless. It just means at least one person is thinking about making a movie at some point - up to active work taking place, but which might still not end up with anything.
For example Weta and ADV were doing active concept designs for an Evangelion movie, but that never got off the ground due to lack of financing.
Kevin Lewis
pretty sure user meant put Alita: Battle Angel on netflix, not make a shitty series doomed to fail
Gavin Thompson
>that disappearing burrito wtf was that shit? couldn't they have caught it in the cutting room and fixed it?
Connor Cox
Not financed by Netflix, user. Netflix is simply where most normies will see the current film.
Henry Sanders
That meme is not working, user.
Gabriel Diaz
I've watched it yesterday with my normie cousin. It was fine. wasn't good, but wasn't bad either. I expected more from the bounty hunters, the doctor, etc. Everyone was kinda just getting jobbed by Alita. And she didn't get hurt much. I kinda wanted her to get completly destroyed, then rebuild with her good body later. My cousin also noticed how she didn't get hurt much in fights and how the Hunters were weak. I never read the manga, my friend did. He really liked it and recommended the manga to me, so I was expecting the story to be interresting, but it was bland and uninteresting. It's okay. I wanna watch the dog movie I saw on posters though. Dog looks cute.
Joseph Wright
Saw this movie for the 3rd time today. What's happening to me?
Oh yeah, with the big dude. You are right, I completly forgot. The only thing I remember about that scene are the dogs. You are right. Still, movie was alright.
Dominic Allen
Everytime I see Alita smile on screen, my nutbladder explodes.
Nah it's just my cousin kept mentioning that scene to me. We were really expecting more from that sword dude and the other hunters. I wanted her to struggle more, I think.
Evan Price
Not only kicking themselves, but doing so for missing it in IMAX theaters where it belongs and they'll never re-create that experience. Buy all the high end shit you want at home, unless you put like 100 grand into a home theater, you can never replicate the cinema.
I haven't seen the IMAX myself yet, but I plan to next week. Already saw a standard showing on a decently large screen.
Heard an interview where Cameron said that essentially the movie was fully covered with his deal with Fox to make Avatar movies. As long as he determines that there is an interest and a following, it will be made
Evan Allen
>You're leading a life where you no longer accept anything less than true love.
Ironically that is what the whole incel/feminist counterculture represents. The obsession with the ideal. We have literally begun to enter the age of pygmalion.
Well, majority of people that ACTUALLY watched the movies loved it, hell theres even 30 general threads and counting here. Theres 100% gonna be a sequel
Jace Bennett
Exactly. Cameron has Clout and I don't think any execs can deny him his waif- I mean his life's work. But seriously, he's worth $700m himself, I think he could even fund his own sequel.
Joseph Wood
i literally have to travel to another country to watch IMAX, and the closest LieMAX is over 80 miles away
The movie begins with her in pieces in a scrap heap. I mean they give it to you right away. Then she gets chopped like a vegetable. What more do you want?
What faggots who say this really want is to see her defeated and give up which she does not do because she's motherfucking Battle Angel Alita and survivor and a sincere warrior with a determined heart that can feel true love.
Tough break. I have a LieMAX across town, and an IMAX only 5 miles away. Oddly, I've never seen anything in their IMAX, just their FDX screen which is already LieMAX-y.
Connor Ortiz
The problem is... she is advanced military tech with special forces training. Only the Blade dude was a real threat, because of brains... the street thugs are really not in her league.
Zapan (the sword guy) might have been able to give her a good fight against her old body, finally knowing what he was up against. She is too advanced for him now- too quick.
And she has he sword.
David Sanchez
>she does not do because she's motherfucking Battle Angel Alita and survivor and a sincere warrior with a determined heart that can feel true love.
Maybe not that poster... but I think you have a point.
Some want her humbled... and then might allow her a redemption arc.
They resented her "only" getting chopped up physically, without being broken internally.
The same losers that love that silent movie The Passion of Joan of Arc. Same voyeurism.
David Mitchell
Just got back from watching Alita in glorious IMAX 3D. Not GOAT, but I had a great time. It felt a bit fast paced. The movie gets going right away. Alita was beautiful and never came across as unbelievable for person with such large eyes anyway. It's a good thing the movie revolves around her because she really was the best thing about it. Action was top quality and I was glad I didn't see the trailers since I was told some of the good parts were shown. I was able to make the obvious calls about the plot, but then a couple twists caught me off guard. The romance angle really didn't do it for me, but I didn't hate Hugo. Not really. Also his death didn't come when or how I expected it to. I decided to go into the movie without reading the source and I'm glad I didn't. Now I'm off to start the manga.
Evan Parker
While I understand that in-universe she should breeze through this movie without much efford, it still left a little wanting. But those are my only complains really. The story didn't had any major plot hole, the actors were all decent and the CG was good. I'm looking forward towards the sequel, it'll probably have what I wanted for this movie.
I didn't like the romance plot on first watch - I liked the bromance more then. On second watch I was more on board with the Hugo arc - he sees Alita as his ticket to Zalem while she has the puppy love thing going for him at the beginning. Then it becomes more of a true love thing when he finally gives up his dream of Zalem.
Tanji is still best boy though.
Asher Lopez
Not me. I cringe when a fanboy says something gay, retarded and embarrassing all at once.
And they're dead serious, like they're saying something truly impressive.
Imax is a screen size. Imax has a larger screen and the movie is cut with a wider field of view.
Dolby refers to sound standard. It means the theatre achieves a certain frequency response and decibel level.
Samuel Wilson
I guess for me, it was that she fell so hard for him and didn't calm down too much from it. Kind of like how she said it was all or nothing with her. Didn't really have a problem with Hugo's arc. It made sense for his character and the romance facilitated his change of heart.
Adrian Butler
I only saw it in IMAX 3d (twice), hands down the best 3d movie I've seen. So you can't go wrong with imax. The sound in imax is also terrific. In all 10x better than when I saw it in 2d.
Logan Thompson
I suppose the IMAX will be the more impressive experience, I've been in that FDX screen for a bunch of movies and while it sounds nice, the seats are so far back from the screen that the benefit of the screen size are lost compared to a normal large screen. Plus, IMAX will be cheaper by 50 cents.
Mason Butler
Yeah I really warmed up to the romance on the 3rd viewing.
Even still it's so hard to do a real romance in a 2 hr movie with so much else going on. Romance is better in tv shows where you get 10+ hrs to develop characters.
This wasn't meant to show a deep lasting romance, its really her being naive to love, and him having ulterior motives. And both learn a lot
Ryan Rogers
terrible flick like a fucking tv movie
Ayden Martinez
It's true 3d like Avatar. If you don't watch in 3D you won't get the intended experience. This is honestly one of the few movies worth watching in IMAX 3D.
Levi Mitchell
Even if it did exist with women, it wouldn't necessarily elevate it to an ideal state. It could still be surrounded with extraordinary inconveniences that make it disruptive, challenging, or very difficult to pursue.
There's a couple of Kinuba things I noticed on my rewatch:
- Looks like Hugo is a Kinuba fan. He's wearing a shirt with number 55 in the scrimmage scene. - Then he cuts his arms off - Nurse Gerhad is wearing Kinuba merch when Alita is getting ready for her tryout. On my first watch I wondered if she shouldn't be wearing something to support Alita - but on the rewatch I noticed that it was Kinuba merch, so I guess she's doing it to honor him.
I guess this would be really easy to make into a trilogy. Have second part be about Alita's rise as a hero of Iron City in the motorball competition and then crush it with rebuilt Zapan arc, then go all Mad Max in the final part (which is where it would probably feel really weird and bad because teen flicks like Hunger Games and Divergent and Maze Runner sort of end up there as well) and then you could wrap it up with a neat bow like the original manga does, with Alita reborn as a normal girl using whatever nanotech bullshit, but since they used some notions from Last Order I don't know if that's fully viable.
Just got back from IMAX 3d (2nd time). I looked really closely at this, the orange, and the chocolate.
The burrito does seem to dissapear between when Hugo grabs Alita from the centurion and when she goes back in for the dog, but it isn't super clear (maybe it gets stuck on the centurions foot?).
It also seems that at one point the chocolate goes from being 3x bitten on the right side and 1x on the left, to only 1x bitten on both sides, and back to 3x bitten on right and 1x on left as they shift shots when shes getting back on the bike with Hugo, but again it's hard to tell.
And there's no teleporting with the orange, she mentions food then the scene shifts and the rest of the orange scene they're at the kitchen table.
I don't even know how you'd notice burrito or chocolate on casual viewing. It doesn't take away from the movie, and its hard to believe they'd make mistakes like that so for chocolate I think it's just a different angle making the bites look smaller.
Connor Brooks
Why do you Alita troll posters always reek of newfag and reddit?
Carson Jenkins
>every single image talking about how many times they've seen it share a february 2019 unix timestamp that has 0 results
Yeah it seems exceedingly obvious that Cameron just saw the OVA and wanted it to bring to a big screen and didn't plan much before that which makes blatant sequelbait all the more frustrating.
Henry Watson
people not from this board/newfrogs*
James Jones
People who sperg about reddit are reddit posters who come to Yea Forums to have a break from reddit and are thus more sensitive to reddit because they want to get away from it whereas people who don't go to reddit are less sensitive.
no, I smelled chocolate though at one point, I like to think someone brought some. I just brought my sour patch kids (theater got my money from their $6 soda)
Liam Harris
Watched it yesterday, here is my verdict. Never read the manga btw: + Great world building + Great actions scenes + Servicable CGI + Decent acting - Terrible script - Story is a bit too all over the place - lacks focus - pacing issues Overall a 6.5/10 sounds about right. Certainly has more soul than the average hollywood capeshit blockbuster that comes out nowadays. Would love to see a sequel.
People here tend to worry when unnatural and forced generals like OP are made when they're almost never made otherwise. It's very simple to understand, which you should if you were you know actually here?
Bentley Jenkins
Ive never actually seen the movie I just wanted to argue with you about something I knew nothing about. I dont know what youre talking about
Lincoln Walker
most of the posters that have been talking about how many times they've watched the movie either didn't post a picture at all, or a picture of their ticket which would of course have a recent timestamp
Eli Morales
Just came home from the theater. Bland CG for 2 hours.
>watching Battle Angel at the movies >intense fighting scene between Alita and Grewishka >slouch down my seat and yell, "YO, THIS ROBONIGGA BOUTTA DABBED ON" >no one laughs >fat guy rubs his neckbeard and says, "tfw no cyborg gf" >Hear "He weird" from one of the girls
Apparently you if you think thats natural or Yea Forums Remember the autist who would spam the board with threads about who was behind those and the horror generals? The german retards? Or was that before your time?
Anthony Murphy
yeah, and not enough cultural/sexual representation as well i assume
Caleb Thompson
>implying a bunch of shit I didn't post about Did you respond to the wrong poster or are just implying a bunch of shit off the top of your head?
Mason Perez
These threads are run by literal shills and they're obviously not fooling anyone with their "I just saw this movie for 9th time, match me!" bullshit, most of us here are lonely autists who are attracted to a cute cyborg waifu, and probably a good few are GUNNM fans from Yea Forums who are happy to finally be able to talk about GUNNM because nu-Yea Forums is underage dumpster that only ever talks about isekai, shoneshit, romcoms and other zoomer shit.
Elijah Gutierrez
Just saw it for the first time. My biggest issue is actually to do with the post production:
1: What the fuck is with the ADR in this movie? It literally sounds like the audio engineers recorded the ADR lines and then set no filters or changes to what they got from the booth. In the scene where Alita and the dude make out in the rain there should be all sorts of impacts on what their conversation sounds like, yet it only sounds like it happened in the ADR booth. There is very little depth to the environments because it always sounds like they are speaking right into a microphone.
2: What the fuck was up with that score? The world is set far in the future after a multi planet space war where everyone lives in either a utopia or a giant trash heap, so then why the fuck does the score sound so generic? It could work for literally any war or action movie and there is no distinct style to any song in the entire movie. I can't even hear a reprise or identifying theme to the movie when I think about it.
Other than that I enjoy it, the pacing is a little frenetic and the order of the scenes could have been changed to illicit a little more tension out of what they shot. One of the better anime adaptations but it certainly isn't pushing the boundaries.
Joshua King
I don't know? Pretty sure mine had a cyborg girl but the rest of it could have been taken from any Marvel capeshit movie. Other than some nice moments between the doc Ido and Alita it was all pretty... forgettable.
Christian Morales
Take your meds. Your autism is showing.
Austin Flores
actually the score stood out to me as being way less generic than your usual blockbuster fare, so you’re just a pleb
You implied /ffg/ is natural when it's the same guys that tried forcing the horror general. Again you should know this but you don't because you're new
Blake Stewart
"Pushing the boundaries"would be suicide in the current market, user.
Sad, but true.
Michael Green
ok name something better, for the lulz.
Dylan Cruz

Asher Moore
Again yous should because he spammed it every where for about 5 years straight in almost every thread archive.4plebs.org/tv/search/text/1392740610/200/ But you don't because you're either a shill or a newfrog
Gabriel Cook
Black Panther, and Wandering Planet! ; )
(Wandering Planet is darned good storytelling, by the way)
Asher Smith
If I remember correctly, the only in-world music we hear is the Motorball PA music and the prog-as-fuck busker in the beginning.
The score itself was fine - nothing particularly remarkable.
Christopher Bell
There's not necessarily anything "better". It's just at around the same level as anything else Hollywood puts money behind. Not more impressive than your average capeshit. It's not "ten steps ahead" that's for fucking sure.
Blake Murphy
not been on this general in a couple days give me the quick run down alita bros, is china on track to save us?
Carter Harris
You must be blind, user. :/
Hunter Myers
We are beyond salvation. The movie is a flop and you're all deluding yourselves if you think otherwise.
Sebastian Gutierrez
>I HAVE BEEN HERE LONGER THEN DIRT IS OLD >I SAID I AM IN CHARGE HERE TOO It doesn't matter how long you've been here you are still a newfag with that attitude of yours.J ust shut the fuck up and go bump a thread about crusty boomer movies like you do every day of your sad life.
Carter Barnes
Yes. The trolls are enraged about it. : )
Easton Long
>stood out to me as way less generic
I will admit that I've never seen a Marvel movie, nor have I seen a Disney movie in almost ten years, so I may be out of the loop on what 'generic' sounds like. But, standard strings and horns are not the kind of soundtrack this movie needed. 'Oh, this is an action scene so lets get those soaring chords with this little moment of tension so you think she might lose, but then lets bring it right back up as she is saved by Ito and that dog guy' and 'oh they're talking about their feelings so lets slow it down and make a soothing moment where we let the string instruments release the tension between them' is to me what I would call generic scores.
Compared to legitimately good scores from the past two decades this one hardly holds up. Take something like 2049 or Arrival, both are science fiction or at least beyond the every day, and the scores reflect that with these unsettling sounds that define the environments around them and really help to build the world. Or look at Ghost in the Shell, the movie is bad but the score fits the world and has identifiable themes.
The only song I can remember is the credits theme...
Motorball was the best part of the movie aside from waifu-bait the girl. I'd watch a whole movie about corrupt motor ball teams. aka the live action speed racer movie.
Anthony Gomez
I love Alita and I want to hug her in a protective and paternal manner.
>getting this defensive after being proven wrong about when you got here Are you now admitting you weren't here or is right about you being a shill
Evan Wood
It's an ending like ESB.
We get some resolution of characters (Hugo), we set up that Charin is now a brain in a jar, and Nova is the puppet master. The mini-villain of Vector was resolved but it is somewhat anticlimatic, which is fine because it's only half of the story, you have to see the sequal for the conclusion. This isn't unusual in good films.
At the end we see Alita re-establishing herself, she is emotional over her loss but she is resolved on her quest to finish the mission she was made for, and take revenge for those who were lost along the way.
It isn't a non ending, it's a cliffhanger, maybe an art that has been lost on an ADHD generation.
Isaac Wilson
>There's not necessarily anything "better". Yeah I confirm, there's nothing better.
>Not more impressive than your average capeshit. Get your eyes checked, and I mean it seriously, many people don't know they're myopic.
Jonathan Harris
doesn't even deserve a (You), the CG in black panther was bad even by Marvel standards.
Joshua Harris
He probably saw an early camrip. x)
Andrew Baker
we're going to make it and the disney shills are scurrying back to their marvel threads
we are winning user, just like we said we would - just like we knew we would. All we had to do was to put our fate in based boatman.
I have just came out of the cinema. Why the fuck are you shilling for this? It is so fucking shit and cringeworthy. Every single scene is shit as fuck.
Nicholas Morris
is that an official poster because it looks too dope.
Liam Robinson
haha nice try
now go watch the movie please
Elijah Rodriguez
He wanted a lol response, user. I just gave him one- BP's CGI was mediocre.
>it's a cliffhanger, maybe an art that has been lost on an ADHD generation. It's not really lost because every single show on TV feels the need to end every half-a-season with one. It's just fucking frustrating because having satisfying conclusions IS a lost art, especially when producers aren't certain if they're gonna be tell the rest of the story, or if they even have it planned (happens all the time on television these days). Fuck that wishy washy shit, OVA had an emotional conclusion despite showing even less by not doing vague setups for absolutely no reason.
Anthony Watson

JC will make it, and Disney will pay for it (ironically).
Can we just put something in the OP of these generals already saying not to reply to these faggots unless they want legitimate discussion, there are too many of these retards getting (you)s and it just encourages them
Jaxson Perry
They're shills
Josiah Edwards
why bother? they're bumping the thread and get BTFO:d every time
if it helps us to spread the word of Alita, then I will make that sacrifice
anyone else get chills during "I will not standby in the presence of evil" ?
this movie was so goofy it had no business being this good
Leo Allen
This we need a safe space which is why we made this general in the first place as the regular posters on this board were shitting on it in the other threads

Joseph Scott
They're more or less always accurate.
Gabriel Collins
They just have enhanced bodies, it doesn't mean they have the best weapons.
Dominic Smith
false flag
nice try
Leo Watson
because the Earth Orbitary Federation was anything but pushovers during the Terraforming Wars
Luke Perez
Because it is a manga adaptation, and 30+ kissless virgin waifufags have an erection watching it. If it would be a random westerner story everyone here would hate it.
Jordan Russell
It was "Guadalajara" actually.

She was the finest weapon of the Techno Union, Technarchy , whatever - I doubt they had expendable amounts of them. They seemed to be basically special forces.

I did but I got even bigger goosebumps when she said "you do not deserve such a weapon" i have no idea why but it was just so fucking badass. why can't they make female characters like this?
Wyatt Collins
Not a very impressive force- just converted light infantry support robots.
That is why hunter-killers were used. The mechs weren't that useful, except for intimidating civilians.
Joshua Miller
and ends with Nova and Alita reaching Jeru, only to realize they were playing in the small pond the whole time. Wait a minute. The people of Earth are kept in poverty, fighting for scraps, and run by the rich in a secret society engineering our fate. These elite globalist rulers of people live in the twin cities of Zalem and Jeru. Jeru.. Zalem. How the fuck did this film get made?!
I had chills the first time I watched that scene. I was tearing up during the scene on my second viewing. I finally got my shit together on the third viewing because I was so focused on sucking in as many details as I could..
Bentley Johnson
Yeah, the battle mechs are more a population control measure - they're too blunt an instument to actually police anything. You can't investigate crimes with a tank.

Julian Bennett
Alright y0u fucks, what did I tell you? You can watch the box office in China live via Maoyan, so no more questions about if China saved us yet or anything. Currently, they're on track to, very much. In just 2 days, the film made 48.5 million US dollars. If this film is loved just as much as Ready Player One, which it is actually looking to open up higher than, we are saved. Follow all the highlights here:
People of zalem aren't elite at all, it's just a grand dna experiment to create one of a kind brain chips to augment that one guy. Zalem is worthless, it's porpose is to create abnormally intelligent minds once in a while.
I'm gonna see it a 4th time in imax tomorrow and I burst out luaghging when i went to reserve my seats. You fuckers better not RUIN my experience lmao.
So what's the best scene in the movie and why is it the bar scene

Same bro, I watched it 3 times until now I think I will watch it 2 times more If it is on the next week I may watch it again
Dominic Reed
Just watched it 7th time. Get on my level faggots. I am planning to go 3 times more, there shouldn't be a lot of people there so I can fap in the dark.
Andrew Rodriguez
I am not sure putting that in the general is such a good idea. It will just draw trolls like flies to shit. Maybe go through the threads and screencap all the retarded posts for a collage image. The trolls are posting the same cringey bait every time so its not hard to spot it. That collage image could just get tossed into the threads now and again by posters and linked back to as needed.

So, 1 USD = 6.71 yuan
Alita has so far made 2424 million yuan = 361 million USD
How do you get it to 48.5 million USD? What am i missing?

That you, Jordan?
Joshua Moore

Wrong number. The smaller number. Right now it's at 325 million Yuan.
Gabriel Roberts
>ywn wake up and see Alita on your windowsill, staring at you adorably. Fuck this noise.
Carson Cooper
>Alita needs $350 mil to break even and $500 mil to profit How valid is this statement?
Those journalists just want the film to fail. Outlets have been btfo by studios clarifying their films did break even or made money when news outlets said otherwise. The 350 million, is like bare minimum to call the film not a total flop. But, if it makes anything above 400 million, the movie is just fine. It did alright. 450 million the film made a little money.
Anthony Long
its likely somewhere in between
Logan Morgan
>2424 million That's 2424 tenthousands (2424万) which is 24,2 million yuan for today.
as said, the total is the number in smaller font
Michael Young
The statement is way off. Alita needs to clear close to $1.8 billion at the box office just to break even.
So, what're your guys' predictions for China next weekend? My guess is it does 60% or so what it did this weekend, it should hold strong. The Chinese are really buying in to it and clearly they marketed the film so much better there. Just from the type of screenshots they used, the movie looks like a foreign film.
Actually it came out earloer in western europe, it did very well in france
Grayson Roberts
Wheelchair people struggling to get to their seats is the pre-film entertainment
Hunter Lopez
I watched it with some friends and we were all expecting it to be a shitshow because it's an anime adaptation, even seen it in 2d because why pay more for something that's gonna be shit We came out of the theater and we were kinda confused, then a friend say 'uh so am I crazy? that was like, really really good' and we all agreed, it took us by surprise how good it was I'm gonna watch it again in IMAX this monday!
Josiah Perry
And those numbers are second weekend numbers for a number of those countries, since it opened early for them. All in all, other foreign markets outside Japan and China should add another 40 to 50 million to the final gross.
Brayden Roberts

Elijah Cook
yep
Jonathan Gomez
It's so weird how this film is doing. People are turned off initially, but the second they see it, they love it. Was it something with the marketing, guys?
Hated how it wasn't self contained like the anime. It dropped the movies from a 6/10 to a 5/10 for me. Very good otherwise for the most part. She was the best part

The first time it was said in the memory was pretty good. The second time was unnecessary and ruined the vibe for me.
Leo Richardson
I hate to admit it, the only reason I'm so anal about the film doing well at the box office is I want a sequel because the story isn't done. If they ended with a possible set up, cool, but this was literally a direct continuation, like this is Kill Bill Vol. 1. Problem is, Volume 2 hasn't been made yet.
It's new. People don't know what to expect. For all the time the plebs knew they were eating French bread, when garlic bread came along they did not know what to do.
Owen Morris
At least there's a manga. Also Nova is Edward Norton right?
Christian Smith
I didn't even watch any trailers before going in. I was aware there was a live-action hollywood adaptation of Alita being made, but I haven't read the manga or seen the anime (though I'd heard about Alita and seen some pics before) but I seriously never gave it a thought about watching it because I was sure it was going to be shit, I almost even cancelled last minute because I was too lazy to go out. After the movie, I've watched the first trailer and I think it wouldn't have made a difference, it looked kinda cheesy (and it was but it fit quite well in the story)
Jace Baker
>we will not fade silently into the night >we will not vanish without a fight >we're going to live on yeah, its that kind of feel
Jack Harris
Yeah
Justin Powell
Hugo's "I'm with her" line in the trailer made it seem like a dog whistle to Hilary supporters and SJWs, but then I heard about Alita being the anti-Brie Larson and so I checked it out
William Diaz
>Using food analogies Okay, but a better comparison is they're eating just straight up stale bread for their entire lives and then a waiter offers the most delicious cake imaginable
When his eyes were covered, I thought it was James Cameron
Andrew Jones
Wasn't Alita a terrorist?
Andrew Gonzalez
I both thought the same things.
Tyler Hill
In the end her goal is to get Nova, before the conclusion she had more vague goals; such as learning who she is, helping Ido and Hugo, and stopping the guy who was killing women (Grewishka).
Noah Martinez
Same happened to me. Only at the very end when he lifts the glasses I realized it was Norton.
Xavier Lopez
She had the sword and powered it with her plasma thingie
Andrew Morgan
>this picture Is this a different body? It doesn't look like the Beserker I noticed it today at my third viewing
Lincoln Cox
It's just armor plating. Her body is still underneath.
Cooper Baker
>Hugo's "I'm with her" line in the trailer made it seem like a dog whistle to Hilary supporters and SJWs No one outside US knows that slogan.
James Cruz
It's the Berserker body with armour plating
Christopher Richardson
I think Ito made her light armor for the motorball tournament.
Hunter Jenkins
1st weekend it was packed so it was impossible to tell if people were singles (I was, but I was seated next to people).
yesterday it was also a packed house (went with friends though).
Today in IMAX it was pretty sparse, more than a few boomer folks, and I only saw one other solo viewer (also some kids with parents were down front surpisingly).
Ryder Morgan
Motorball body. Since the beserker body was asspulled early you can assume she modified it with that "nanomachines, son" thing.
Christopher Foster
She's wearing her motorball gear
Jose Garcia
Some comments from the Chinese news site Maoyan (the biggest fucking China news and ticket site there). Chinks are really, really liking. 200 million is ALMOST guaranteed.
The marketing of this movie was pretty bad. It didnt' distinguish itself from stuff like Jupiter Ascending, or Valeran and 1000 planets and YA junk like that. I wouldn't have gone to see it myself if some smaller youtube reviwers didn't mention how good it was.
Jason Lewis
>just bought a ticket for imax Alita You fucks really did it, you memed me into watching this movie 3 times
John Green
I'd say the only good trailer was the first and second one. The third one sucked.
Jaxon Gomez
Yeah in Vector's office she has the sword.
Leo Phillips
Chinks love action, special effects and cute girls. Alita success is guaranteed there.
Just got back from seeing it. The action scenes were great but the pacing was all over. Alita herself was pretty good, but the romance subplot was cringy. Does he get cyborgized in the manga and then almost immediately killed anyway? Just seemed like they were dragging it out.
Also is there a sequel even lined up? This movie just straight up cuts to credits with no conclusion. Edward Norton may as well have looked directly into the camera and said “See you next time, faggots.”
Evan Hill
You didn't get memed, it's just a great movie and deserves many viewings (I watched it 3 times too, may watch it 2 more at least)
Nicholas Harris
This tbqh, WOM saved this movie. I just thought it would be a cringy anime adaptation, decided to give it a chance after seeing the great audience scores and was positively impressed Would love to see more adaptations of stuff like this. Capeshit is pure garbage and needs to die.
Mason Hernandez
The pacing is almost identical to the OVA. He gets fixed and dies within 5 to 10 minutes in the OVA. If the film makes 400 million to 450 million, a sequel will happen.
Anthony Foster
I thought you were refering to the scene where she escapes the motorball and send an opponent into a grinder.
Jackson Ward
>Edward Norton may as well have looked directly into the camera and said “See you next time, faggots.” I'd be even cool with that if he do that while eating pudding.
Nicholas Martin
I wish they put more New Divide in a trailer. But its hard for me to figure how to make a good trailer for the movie, I guess anime doesn't really translate to western style trailers very well.
You can't really put gold like "It happened 300 years ago, get over it" in a trailer
Carson Brooks
Well for me it was few reasons. First of all movies in general have been just shit lately, so my expectations weren't exactly that high. Second, this is an adaptation and we all know how well those have turned out in the past. Third reason was that I felt like the overly large eyes were a weird ass gimmick some idiot in the marketing dept came up with to emulate anime or something and it did look a bit off when everyone else looked normal in the trailers.
The moment I saw Alita on the screen I didn't even think about her being CGI or anything being off about her face. She looked adorable. Now got to admit I went to see it because I started seeing people on youtube saying that the movie is actually good. The marketing for this film for me flew completely under the radar.
