I LOVE ALITA
Is it finally defeated?
Did not expect the goofy face to actually look perfectly fine in 3D and on the big screen.
THIS IS NOT
THIS IS NOT
SWAN
Truth told.
I wouldn't say 100% defeated, but it's getting there
Any specific .webm edits you guys want?
i am allergic to chocolate and still took a bite of one when she did in the movie.
When did Robin Hood become a hunter-killer?
The countdown in Motorball, followed by that moment where they all attack Alita.
Alita in her new berserker body running across the rooftops
alita spreading her arms on the back of the motorcycle with zapan looking at her from a distance please
I never got the uncanny valley vibe from Alita. I think some people confuse, "you can tell its CGI" with the uncanny valley. It's still slightly off, but its almost there. I think it has too much detail. I dunno what it is, but in some shots she just looks wayyy over-detailed. Some shots though, oh yeah, the uncanny valley was definitely defeated— some shots don't look CGI at all.
That one scene where Screwhead is pulling Alita by some chains and you can see her butt
>a clear line can be drawn unambiguously to Alita from Dire Straights
THAT'S THE WAY YOU DO IT
Generals for nothing and your mods for free.
Alita throwing the motorball at screwhead please!
Love you, Combat Waifu. Will see you again this weekend.
She has a weird face shape.
And so do a lot of other people.
>That's because you were the best for the role, you just happened to be latin
How based can one man be?
Fucking THIS.
No you will not.
All theatres are clearing all screenings from this weeked to make sure nothing challenges CM.
Had to rush out some of the slow-poke friends today for a last chance at seeing Alita on big screen.
That one dude gettin grinded up
>Cinema will get rid of IMAX 3D Alita this Friday for Captain Marvel
cringe
I'm going to second this, how the hell did a guy getting chewed up by a woodchipper get into a PG-13 movie?
They have to leave at least one show of another movie.
Therefore, I can find Alita’s until March 13.
It's not the 90s without at least one dude getting pancaked or minced.
He was a cyborg IIRC so it's not as bad as if it happened to a human
Yeah, that's what we thought as well, then looked up the showings at local theaters.
Our whole life.
Human head though, and it still popped like an overripe apple on screen.
Still less graphic than that guy's face though.
>when it zooms in on him screaming
Goddamn that was brutal.
yo, if it was rated R that part would have been so fuckin brutal
Disney's clawed paw is not as strong outside the US.
>zapan slices tanji in half
>no blood on his sword
Gotta say I'm a little disappointed in Jashugan's movie design after reading the manga.
He probably has not yet received upgrades from Nova.
>All theaters are clearing all Alita screenings from this weekend
stop lying
She really was. Alita is like 90% Rosa. If they cast somebody else it wouldn't be the same Alita anymore. Could be worse, could be better, who knows, but I think their top 3 picks were Rosa, Zendaya and another meme actress.
you can’t convince me that these constant threads aren’t a byproduct of severe mental illness
>Zendaya and another meme actress
Jesus Christ did we luck out
I am outside the US though.
Literally what's happening here in 2 days.
My theaters still have 3+ Alita screenings every day. Dragon 3 and CM are premiering on the same day over here, and Dragon 3 is WAY more popular here, so it has 2x the screenings of CM.
I'm glad it was Rosa, and I'm especially glad it's an actor that is less well known— it let's alita truly be alita instead of "oh thats x playing y!"
That goes for the whole website
A couple of anons discussing a movie they like is to crazy to believe huh?
country / state?
Why can't they make more movies like Alita? Movies that just have characters that you really care about and connect with, and a good story. It's didn't try to alienate anyone, or raise one group above the other, or put anyone in their place.
My only issue is that he only had 5 seconds of screen time
What the fuck. Is this interpolated to 60fps?
>Jashugan
another pic
You are in a coma.
There is nothing of this, this site and this thread imagines your dying brain.
>it let's alita truly be alita instead of "oh thats x playing y!
The funny thing is is that I now have the opposite where whenever I see Rosa talk I see Alita foremost.
Eastern European shithole.
>Literally what's happening
No it isn't. Just because some shitty theater somewhere with one screen isn't showing Alita anymore doesn't mean Alita is leaving every theater in 10,000 mile radius.
MONOMOLECULAR BLADE.
>you can’t convince me that Yea Forums isn't a byproduct of severe mental illness
ftfy
Cause they are creatively and emotionally drained. They were raised this way.
The best they could do is attempt another actually-not-terrible Jap adaptation, since Holywood cannot normally do that level of writing or action scenes.
Imagine if this came out in 2009 and Jim went ahead and made it with Jessica Alba as he originally intended. What a nightmare, we really dodged a bullet with this.
rate my new alita shirt
Oh shit. I completely missed it. Seems to be more of an easter egg than an indication that the sequel will have more motorball.
Because Hollywood has a money making script.
>atila
kek
>its all of nothing with me
>Jessica Alba
Surely you jest?
More like "all the theatres in the city".
Have to admit, did not check for the rest of the country.
Saw these cards on Facebook that came from that Iron City experience thing. Its interesting that they combined Ajakutty and Armblessed. He's already #88, so I guess the plot point where he fights Alita over his number is out too.
user, have you ever seen a mirror?
Should have been Annasophia Robb with black hair.
Pretty sure the entire Motorball arc is out, user. Probably for the best.
Theaters don't even make full schedules till late Thursday. Its literally fake news to look at a schedule for next week and scream movies are leaving. Check the schedules again Friday morning.
yes. its still funny that alita backwards is atila you autist.
Even if it's just two scenes, some critics would think it's the focus of the movie (like they did for this one).
I have looked far and wide, but i have yet to see chocolate oranges.
>tfw you suddenly realize Dark Angel was his first attempt at an Alita adaptation
Do you live in the US?
Cause they do here, and the few that continue to show Alita will remove any imax screenings, reserving those only for CM.
Hopefully the new Easter season will give us chocolate oranges!
Here you go.
my mom gets me one for Christmas every year
And here you go.
That's not all you think about me, right user?
nice! where did you get it?
Hey, just giving the user what he asked for.
Kinuba killed him, user
And here is your running Alita.
Such a cute butt
>thats fine
>fine
Yep. You are wrong about everything being shown for next week. Unless its some po dunk theater somewhere jOklahoma or some shit.
Also
>All theaters are clearing all screenings of Alita
>Imax is beginning to clear Alita showings in some theaters
pick one
She has a cute butt
thanks peaches
Please, Alita has a tushy
>Pfft. Yeah Right. So I'm three hundred years old?
Do not worry, I appreciate the plot.
anyone got any other wallpapers? Really need some 21:9 ones.
Her goofy expression and voice made that scene.
Exactly! I honestly wish this happened a lot more. Story over star power.
Jesus Christ, imagine going out like that.
I WANT IT ALL
I WANT IT ALL
I WANT IT ALL
AND I WANT IT NOW
Fuck yeah. Love ya peaches.
Sweetheart, you are.
STOP LOOKING AT MY BUTT!!!
She must've said something in the locker room.
>imagine going out like that.
I dared to raise the mechanodendrite at the angel of the God Machine.
I deserve punishment.
>any numbness?
>im a little hungry...
just like my lesbian animes
Can someone explain her 300 years? Was she 300 years old when she was turned into cyber trash or was she turned to trash at age 50 and lay in the trash heap for another 250 years?
I do not stand by in the presence of evil
reddit: the movie
I've had them all the time when I was a teen
Do these goblins offend you?
>
Thanks. One of the best parts of the movie imo.
This story *does* have that element, though, only it's the message that is absolutely the most "dangerous." It's stripped down, all the bullshit distractions about race, sex, gender, etc. are all cast aside and what's left is too elemental for the powers that be:
>Good vs. Evil
>Have not vs. Have
She existed before the Fall, which happened 300 years prior
thanks user
Very cool.
Right. But did she live, walk and breathe for all 300 or was she dormant for a while?
This is pretty nice too
Screw Screwhead.
Here's something from the art book.
She was laying dormant for 200 years IIRC.
I want to buy this sweater for my irl wife
I meant his face. He looks like a badass motherfucker in the manga. Here he looks like... Jai Courtney.
Fucking awesome! You rock, bro.
What a sad and pitiable existence yours must be.
great stuff user
I meant her parkour as she's running to see Hugo, but I'll take this too
panties down
Thanks, my new background
That's the problem with most contemporary actors.
What kind of panties does Alita wear?
Yessss! This is the one I was waiting on. You absolutely rock.
Rodriguez has a wonderful eye.
Is there one of this webm but longer? to see if it shows exactly where she is cut? Or is the next scene already her cut and you don't see anything? Wanted to go frame by frame
cute ones
Which is almost non-existent in the motorball scene desu. We'll just have to see if they can improve the looks in the sequel. I believe
I need to get this book.
Beautiful.
Sneed
I'm going to use this one as a wallpaper with one small alteration.
thanks alitabro! yeah i love it, got it on redbubble.com
Kek.
what a terrible place
Interesting how Rodriguez and the official Alita social media continually like/retweet posts from people asking for a sequel. Curious what this spells for future announcements. Let's get the movie to 450 million, mostly thanks to foreign, and we're fucking secured on sequels.
Boyshorts/boxers apparently.
NOO
I'd love to see a #99 bike done up in purple/yellow like her motorball body. Cameron is pretty big into motocross from what I remember, maybe he has one in his garage or something.
It remains to add Agent K
This
Now more than anything I want a sequel with him in it goddamn it. And then people are like " think we got all the motorball we're going to get"
I mean do I really have to wait until movie 3's ouroboros scene to see them fight?

This movie legitimately makes me want to be a father. Probably too late for me to be an actual father so I'll probably have to settle for sugar daddy.
youtube.com
Didn't know these dweebs reviewed it.
Sure kid.
No of course not. She did not have that of a long life before her execution. It's never really specified, but from the events she lived for like 20 years maybe? Then she was just lying half dead in the junkyard for 300 years (200 in the manga).
I love the way Alita spins and Screwhead wipes out. Beautiful.
Why is she so perfect, bros.
based
I love how smooth and fluid the animation is in this scene.
a sequel is mostly certain when you see the popularity of the movie across the world
>gangsta
She's from out of this world. Literally, from above, like an angel.
>Boyshorts/boxers
Those are two very different things user
Played around with nvidia just to see what comes out
emotion
what is your number among the 300?
forgot pic
Goddamn Rosa fucking nailed it.
S-she looks naked.
Based 40K poster. Alita actually convinced me to start admech for my very own cyborg army.
AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRGGHHHH
I have the standard edition.
God I wished this was longer when I was making this webm but it only lasts that long in the movie as well.
Looks like their holding hands
Crafty anons please make a based Alita edit of this
First thing I thought of when I saw him transform into a car.
>ten autists constantly spamming
>anyone
How does it feel that captain marvel will destroy this movie and that the only reason you actually enjoy Alita is due to the ''waifu material'' junk. If she looked like an everyday plain jane you would not be here, hard truth.
I don't know why but your reaction to made me laugh hysterically
for a good 2 minutes
I've finally found a YT review 100% negatve ! Look at the efforts he put on the production it's crazy, he must be a bored millionaire.
youtube.com
It's in French, to summarize he's visibly a hardcore fan of the manga and points at every little thing that's not on point with the source (and of course he's not wrong). But he discards himself very quickly (at 5.15) when he says "it's just live OAV with early 2000's SFX".
If I had a YT account I'd told him to get his eyes checked for his own good.
Two real human being.
Created to be together.
Divided by the worlds.
its okay, everyone else knows why.
autism
and?
It's interesting, I said the last two weeks would spell the future for Alita and it's sequels, but this weekend will be the most interesting. I didn't expect so many people to start this Alita vs. Captain Marvel challenge, and while I don't like some of the politicization of it and it should just be about supporting a good film, I wonder what this spells for Alita's domestic gross this weekend. It definitely won't make more than 10 million, but I have to wonder if it will replicate last weekend's number purely out of word of mouth and this CM controversy. So, it could bounce and do another 5 to 7 million second weekend. It may not be the best public image of the movie, but at least more people will get to see it. It won't tarnish the film's reputation.
The holy trinity
There are some scenes (namely the one where Ido is checking for bounties and sees that there is none for Grewishka) where she looks kinda plastic
But other times, she looks completely real. Maybe even more real than actual people
Only 652 days left for Avatar 2
Also, we will definitely pass 400 million this Saturday or Sunday. Then the rest of it's run, it can slowly rise to 450.
All interesting points, but is there enough time?
I finally went and saw the movie on the last day in Sweden. I really liked it and now I'm sad to see that it's not making enough money to warrant a sequel.
>"it's just live OAV with early 2000's SFX".
that's pretty accurate though. The producers can claim all they want that alita had billions of polygons per visible skin pore, but the fact is it does not look any more lifelike than designs from the early 00s that weren't trying to look lifelike at all.
I hope we get Alita 2... some day.
To be honest when I heard Jim was doing Avatar I was disappointed because it meant he was delaying Alita.
only 752 days till Alita 2
how is that possible considering the >70% drops everywhere except france and mexico?
The movie still has 5+ weeks in theaters and foreign will add another 20 to 30 million this weekend alone. Add the week gross, that's above 400. I'm curious how the legs will be, because all things considered, even though it doesn't have high numbers in the states, it's actually ran pretty consistently, dropping only 40 to 60% on usual drop off days.
of what? autism?
>The movie still has 5+ weeks in theaters
it only lasted 3 weeks in the US.
Is there anyone else who doesn't give two shits about Avatar? Cameron took way too long trying to get a sequel out
How up to date are the box office numbers? It says on the foreign tab that the numbers are from 3/3 boxofficemojo.com
It should end its cinema run in the green. Then, it will be a huge home video success
well, yea. You realize what thread you're in, right?
>it only lasted
but its still showing my dude
>it does not look any more lifelike than designs from the early 00s
>Oscar winner 2018
lol at you user
I like the character, but I'm also in it because it's made by Cameron/Rodriguez two great action directors. The movie has style. CM on the other is made by two tv directors not known for action or exciting visuals. From a few reviews I saw, the movie appears to have no visual style the fight scenes appear bland, non-impactful. and you can barely tell what's going on. Enjoy your boring movie capeshiter.
Are you normal?
What are you doing on this site and in this thread?
Most places stayed rather consistent, Australia it only dropped 30 to 40%. South Korea and UK are some of the only places where it dropped a noticeable 50 to 70%.
Most movies that making a consistent amount stay in theaters for 100 days. Blade Runner 2049 was in theaters for 119 days.
He's also been trying to make Alita since 1998. What's your point?
the summary tab is updated daily and accurate to the day, the foreign tab directly states when it was updated. The summary and foreign tabs are not connected in any way.
under rated
nice! many thanks!
So it looks better than bad CGI from 2018, but worse than good CGI from the early 2000s.
how does that discredit that point?
Romantic Action films?
My point is that Cameron should have tried to keep up the momentum after Avatar instead of putting off the sequel 10 years.
Also, most people don't consider week grosses. The only focus on the weekend numbers, but a lot is also added throughout the week. For example, from last Monday to the following Monday, the movie added 75 million in foreign gross. So, even if we HALF that for this week and weekend, that's another 40 million or more.
this was such a bizarre bit in the comic
Avatar was the tech demo for Alita, he delayed Alita so the team at Weta would get practice with avatar. This is why she is perfect.
is Alan Parson's on the soundtrack?
box office mojo updates the summary literally every day from any source that will provide numbers. Mostly only china has daily (hourly) box office updates.
the comic itself is pretty depressing if you think about it
>these cancer threads still going on
congrats, you managed to ruin this movie for me
>worse than good CGI from the early 2000s.
Get your fucking eyes checked.
bump
He wasn't satisfied when the technology he had to create the underwater world. Just as he wasn't satisfied with the technology he had in 1997 to create Pandora. The man lives pushing his projects back because the technology is not up to his standards but it has always paid off.
Captain Fungus comes out on March 7 here in Canada. Alita still gets 2 more showing 2 more real IMAX viewings and then it goes on regular screen...so at one of the showing there is only one person who bough the ticket (4PM).
Was it one of you?
Right, but that's only China and sometimes they don't update it daily, I've been checking that. Back to my other point, I mean, it's a natural progression. If we're being absolutely completely realistic, and I've been tracking the numbers since day 1, the film will at minimum end with 430 million. That is going to happen no matter what. If it hits 450, boom.
Sometimes I think how different things would be if it was Alita that came out 10 years ago.
what video game is this from?
I just wish I lived in a world where people appreciated half as much as they did Avatar.
>Reading Forbes
You mean the guy who said Captain Marvel doesn't have to prove anything at the box office? Learn to drop these sites.
try seeing it first
If Pacific Rim with a budget of 190 million and a total income of 411 million (including 101 domestic) could get a (bad) sequel, then it shouldn't be too hard for Alita to get one too.
>Scott, son of Mendel

that's bait right?

Learn to be able to handle when people say things you don't like.
it isn't. and the fact is, nothing in alita looks any better than good CGI from the early 00s.
Mendelson, get out of here.
Based casting desu
i thought they where going to cut desty nova out of the whole thing. I was floored when they set him up as big bad. I thought the movie would end when she fought upgraded baddie but boy was I wrong. Man I am fucking hyped for the sequels and its been a long time since i looked forward to anything. I wonder if theyll introduce the alita clones.
It's the pathetic screechings of an asshole that would say it about literally ANY cg on the planet, today.
>[autistic screeching]
>learn to be able to handle when people say things you don't like
>[autistic screeching intensifies]
Oh no... you are sad little person
alright explain why you think this is bad CG work
and can you point to any CG work that is better than this?
With Jessica Alba playing Alita? I really don't want to think about it.
I think the movie we got, Robert's movie, is a better movie with way more heart, but Jim's movie probably would have been better executed and reviewed much better and made a billion dollars. It'd also be over three hours long and not worth rewatching.
bump
why do you reply to mentally deranged blind posters, just ignore
yeah i agree, i would prefer that robert direct the sequel, and i feel that Jimbo would feel the same way.
even characters from spirits within looked passable in stills, but alita has all the same uncanny valley hallmarks of of an 18 year old movie.
Thanks fren but there is no need! We have enough posters here :)
you're right user
>can you point to any CG work that is better than this?
Fucken this. I'd like to know too. It must be awesome !
i don't remember if it was heavily marketed
>Only made 3 million in Japan
What the fuck?
that's right, ignore irrefutable arguments.
yeah there was some massive domestic movie there.
>a healthy, normal, teenage girls brain; if there is such a thing.
people like this fascinate me, I can't help it
pure talentless losers who can only value themselves by putting down other people's work
HEY user! YOU FORGOT YOUR POPCORN!
There were 82 unique posters in the last thread idiot.
I think she appeared exactly when she was needed. In the sea of post-ironic capeshit raking in serious cash and playing identity politics, we've found a pearl of genuine passion and honesty
The way I see it, Jim kept Robert from goes nuts like he usually does. You can tell from the interviews that this was a team effort and they both wanted to respect the source material but Robert gets carried away and starts creating pure cheesiness easily.
Well, that was opening weekend. It'll probably end in Japan with 10 to 15 million.
>and can you point to any CG work that is better than this?
The only good CGI is CGI you can't tell is there at all.
i wonder who did best between Alita/DB evolution/GITS
>came out the same week as Gackt's movie
r.i.p. alita-chan
Zapan's CGI body is really damn good. My eyes can't even tell it's CGI, it looks like an actual costume piece. Pretty sure we had nothing like this in 00s.
Lurking since general #11 here :)
Yea, I get that this your first general on Yea Forums. 10% of posters make 90% of posts in generals. They are slow chatrooms for retards. The other 90% of posters post once or twice and don't come back.
that's not an example, try again
and the only reason you can tell dumbfuck is because you know there's no other way it could be done
>tfw your lead actress accuses you of racial nepotism
>My eyes can't even tell it's CGI,
get your eyes checked.
>people still like gackt
what the fuck
ALITA NOOOOO
I'm excited to know what movie in the early 2000's achieved this better than Alita user.
she was joking
You really don't want me to say that avatar's CGI was infinitely better than alita's right? As avatar's CGI was built entirely about what could and couldn't be done with CGI. Whereas alita ignored that lesson and tried to make a realistic human face, which they had to spend six months jiggering with to get it to a point where most people just don't notice it.
zapan putting his arm around her neck in the bar and her shyly saying "thanks"
also her pushing him against the wall at the end and screaming "he's mine!"
You're really obsessed with this faulty argument, aren't you? I'll state again, the issue with alita's CGI is it still has all the dead-giveaways that have been present in CGI work for over 20 years. Making the same mistakes for 20 years isn't impressive.
>Comes out the same day as Alita
>#1 at Japanese box office
>13 million opening day
Nothing can stop Gackt with the home team advantage.
And the end result of Alita is fucking glorious.
>yeah there was some massive domestic movie there
even in France one french comedy take the big spot since 4 weeks but Alita is doing great
Fucking traitor nips
I liked this film and Alita is such a qt
is that Lady Oscar?
Metal is easy to render convincingly now days.
Most car commercials are 100% CGI FYI.
Retard.
the end result is forgetting that CGI is really on good at making things look alien. And six months of redesign work so that alita is just not-noticeably horrifying.
I asked you to point to better CG work - can't do it
asked you to tell me why you think this () is bad CG work - can't do it
now you're rambling about Avatar and Alita's CG work I don't why
you might as well say: "sorry I'm an idiot, I have no arguments, and I better leave now"
Same with Alitas clothes, I was 100% convinced they just cgi'd the face but it was the whole body. Amazing.
>I wanted people to feel something seeing this movie
>The last time I felt something was actually watching one of Jim's movies
>Oh... yeah and yours too Robert.. ha ha
>Watching the previews before the movie starts
>During the last stretch, a short film by college students starts playing
>Summarized, it's about a couple at the concession stand. Guy proceeds to get cucked by a bowl of popcorn and a fountain cup of soda.
>Movie starts after a couple more adverts
I'm confused. When did this become a thing? Is this the new Loony Tunes shorts before the movie starts?
Was that at Regal? I remember that ad. A literal Chad employee makes a girl wet over him making popcorn and pouring soda, while a Hispanic virgin date has to stand there while it happens.
No but it sure does look like her, doesn't it? I thought the same thing.
BeruBara performance capture CGI movie when? If it ever happens I hope they do the rape scene justice.
fuckin hell, what was that shit. So awkward
I got that one too, fucking NTR is everywhere man. I didn't sign up for this shit.
But YOU stated that it was worse than 2000's CGI... talk about a falty argument.
lmao i noticed that too

Pretty much, the shorts are dog shit.
Yeah, Ido is like self-insert for me. I just want Alita to be my cute, innocent, little daughter.
pretty much everyone here, user.
new
Wait a few decades and you can get an android to look just like her probably
But she's a 300yo sadistic murder machine, she'll never be your cute little daughter.
I saw alita and in the theater and in the front row there was a happy regular family 50 yr old man and woman with children a boy and girl both like 8-12. and i cringed cause i knew how violent some of the movie got. does that make me a parent? (it was my 4th time seeing it)
Alita made me a parent is what I'm saying
It’s okay if you can’t read, but don’t pretend your illiteracy is other people’s arguments.
It's something in between for me
>reeee: the post
That eye flutter
ALITA WATCH OUT!!
You’re just proving your only argument was a strawman
