Alita: Battle Angel is a highly entertaining movie worth seeing on big screen and 3D multiple times. James Cameron and Robert Rodriguez crafted a well paced hero's journey arc for Alita. Through Alita's eyes, we witnessed our cybornetic protagonist matures from a naive teenage girl to a young warrior. We watched her adapts to a new world, learns who she is, and finds her mission. All that was portrayed wonderfully by Rosa Salazar as Alita, and the supporting cast delivered their best performances to shape the story. All it's stunningly intense action sequences are choreographed beautifully, and pays great homage to martial art films. Alita also has an epic and dramatic soundtrack composed by Tom Holkenborg (Junkie XL), most noticeably the Motorball theme.
