Alita herself, a CGI motion-capture character performed by Rosa Salazar, is almost 100% convincing, and gives perhaps the best performance of the film, moving from lost and innocent, through charming and funny, to determined and inspiring. But despite the delay and the change of director the vision seems to have remained intact and no expense spared in bringing this cutting edge, large-scale science fiction epic to the screen.Īlthough the set-up is complex the action gets moving fairly quickly, with back-story filled in gradually along the way as the title character regains her memories, leaving more space for the characters and action. In development for many years as a project for James Cameron to direct, Alita, based on a Japanese comic series, finally arrives directed by Robert “Desperado” Rodriguez, based on Cameron’s script. Genre: Sci-fi, Action REVIEW: ALITA: BATTLE ANGEL Starring: Rosa Salazar, Christoph Waltz, Jennifer Connelly, Mahershala Ali, Ed Skrein, Jackie Earl Haley, Keean Johnson
