I had to forego IMAX and watch in Regular-D...and it is still impressive visually. The world of the movie appeared lived in with unique world objects/citizens. Alita seems so 'human' that during one particular non-combat scene you just wanna protect her like you would your own human teen daughter. The plot was a bit frustrating in parts and left me wanting to learn more about character's motives as I have never read the manga. The end scene literally points the way towards a sequel...and I can't wait.

Many of us are still waiting on another QOTSA Desert Rock Opus such as "Songs for the Deaf"...and there are echoes of that in Times New Roman. This album though plays like a dirge in many ways and if that clears a path forward...then let it be so. Favorite tracks for me are 'Scicily' and 'Straight Jacket Fitting'. If 'Scicily' doesn't end up on a movie soundtrack that will be a missed opportunity. The absence of co-contributors on this album seems like a personal choice by the Queens on an album that is dealing with various era's of personal loss.
