Set several centuries in the future, the abandoned Alita is found in the scrapyard of Iron City by Ido, a compassionate cyber-doctor who takes the unconscious cyborg Alita to his clinic. When Alita awakens, she has no memory of who she is, nor does she have any recognition of the world she finds herself in. As Alita learns to navigate her new life and the treacherous streets of Iron City, Ido tries to shield her from her mysterious past.

Alita: Battle Angel | Rotten Tomatoes (1)

Peter Rainer

FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

It's sort of overlong and overstuffed, but Rosa Salazar is quite good.

Film Comment Magazine

As spectacle, the film is aces. It welds Rodriguez's eccentric touch with action and special effects to Cameron's mastery of world-building.

Calum Cooper

As it is, it’s serviceable, but unremarkable, even among its cinematic brethren of live-action manga or futuristic dystopian works.

Rated: 2/5

Our leading character Alita goes through a lot of development throughout this story, and it is engaging to watch.

Alita: Battle Angel is one of those movies that you HAVE TO watch at a movie theater (...) it's a visual experience, so do waste your time and money in supporting this film. Alita alone deserves that effort.

Rated: B+

Llia loved it. That is enough. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/03/23 Full Review Steven This movie was so much fun! Please let it get a sequel! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/22 Full Review Paul W It makes me so sad that the man who directed El Mariacho and Desperado could make a disaster of a movie like this. Soulless is the one word that comes to mind. And poor and otherwise brilliant Christoph Walz seems to suffer through every scene as if he knows what a piece of junk this movie is. All the special effects in the world cannot save a horrible story like this. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/25/24 Full Review Axolote A Esta película es de mis favoritas, desde que la vi, se me hizo muy emocionante y entretenida, tiene una buena trama y estaría perfecto que le hagan una segunda parte, recomiendo mucho verla, nunca te aburres en la pelicula Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/24/24 Full Review Peniel M Don't know why I had such negative thoughts towards watching this movie but it turned out to be very entertaining. Several shortcuts taken, but it overall didn't hurt the enjoyment.Severely regret not giving it much more support at its release. Hopefully we could get a sequel ! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/24/24 Full Review Lou M Yeah this was a pretty cool movie. I’ve seen it flash up on streaming services and haven’t really been interested as I thought it was animation, but it’s a mix and very well done. Good storyline, plenty of action and the CGI is easy to watch, not too OTT. Great cast too. Give it a crack, worth the watch.
