I don't think I have enjoyed a movie as much as Alita in a very long time. The character Alita, with her computer enhanced eyes fascinates me. As does the idea of having a human brain and core on a cyborg body. In this movie, many of the characters have their own brains while being implanted on a different body with fighting characteristics and strengths. Alita (Rosa Salazar) is discovered in a trash heap, at least her head and heart. She is put onto a body by Dr. Dyson Ido (Christoph Waltz). Ido suspects Alita's origins are thought of an ancient technology no longer available. Her heart is very powerful, and she is trained in the fighting techniques of the Martian warriors. Slowly, especially during conflict, Alita remembers her past and her mission. She and those who fought with her failed to conquer Sky City and now 300 years later another quest begins.
Famous lines, I am not impressed.” “I do not stand by in the face of evil.” Can a cyborg person fall in love with a human, and be loved by that human in return. Can someone change their attitude such that they help those who are in need, rather than go after her goal which she now finds unfulfilling? And can an old man redeem himself by being a hunter warrior and catch bad people. The bit about Alita being over 300 years old and a Martian Warrior just enhances the plot.
