Movie Roulette: Alita – Battle Angel

OK, the trip the the cinema that me and Odd Wolf had today was slightly different this time as we have been given a challenge by my wife (aka Awesome Cupcake) for some of the future cinema trips in the form of cinema roulette. What you do is as follows:

1. Go to the cashier and ask for a ticket for the next available movie. They are not to tell you what it is, just how much the ticket it is.

2. Cashier is to pass ticket to collector who then shows you which screen and what seats but still not what movie.

3. Enjoy the ads and trailers, start munching your snacks slurp your drink and wonder what you’ve let yourself in for!

Anyways on with the review!

I really enjoy movies based on comic books and cartoons. There are some absolute classics out there (as well as some absolute stinkers) and in the cinemas currently is Is Alita: Battle Angel which is based on the 1990s Japanese Manga series Gunnm.

The movie is about a deactivated robot that gets named Alita. She has no memory of who she is or of what she used to do and so she goes of to find out what it was she did, It gets dangerous along the way, and she also falls in love too (she’s a robot with emotions!) which becomes one of her weakness nessus in the end.

So, Alita battles bounty hunters, robots, roller skaters, and emotions…but will she be the one on top when the dust finally settles when the dust finally settles? Go see it and find out!!

I really enjoyed watching the movie, the action scenes were absolutely amazing and a joy to watch as were the characters nd their humour and characteristics (the only problem I had was that every time I saw Zapan I wanted to shout “Francis!!” at the screen!). The movie was most certainly worth watching in IMAX, although I’m not so sure about the 3D as it didn’t feel like it come out of the screen like a 3D movie should do which was a disappointment, I honestly think that if I’d left the glasses off it wouldn’t have effect the movie performance.

Alita: Battle Angel is in cinemas now and in 2D, RealD 3D and IMAX 3D.
