Hi-yah! submitted by yufamily on August 19, 2019, 8:43pm Futuristic fun with lots of cyborg dismemberment...

fun!! submitted by nsvinicki on August 23, 2019, 1:13pm I enjoyed this way more than I thought I would. Yes, Alita's face is super "uncanny valley" and very weird to look at, but as you watch the movie, that fades into the background of a great story and amazing visuals. It's exciting without being contrived, and the journey the story took me on genuinely surprised. I did not expect to like this movie that much, but I really loved it!!
