"Alita: Angel of Fight": Death makes us angels

She begins life as a cyborg head with a fully functional human brain thrown into a pile of garbage. Dr. Dyson Ido, a scientist, reconstructs her and names her Alita in honor of her daughter who is no longer. As Alita has no memory of her past, it's up to Ido to teach him how to peel the oranges before eating them, among other things. For his part, Hugo, an adorable teenager, will introduce him to chocolate, the game of wheels and the game of bikers, an adrenaline-fueled game show. Little by little, Alita discovers her past and future. This is to embody the villain in a series of impressive scenery.

It is not surprising that cybernetics and hunter warriors remind you of hunter killers, Cyberdyne and Skynet. James Cameron, who directed the films Terminator, has been with Alita for a very long time. The manga series of Yukito Kishiro, 1990 Gunnm was purchased to the knowledge of Cameron by the visionary director, Guillermo Del Toro. The film was delayed because Cameron was occupied by Avatar and its aftermath. Robert Rodriguez took on the role of director and was very successful in integrating Cameron's 186-page, 600-note scenario into a 122-minute film.

The special effects are breathtaking. Alita, played by Rosa Salazar, is completely CGI and oh those eyes! She plays with a dog (aww), she offers her heart (literally) and when her eyes are filled with tears that she can cut in half with her fresh sword, you know you have a heroine to feed. Although there is nothing in the plot that we have never seen before in 100 different post-apocalyptic cyber punk movies, hat for glittering performance. The races and the action are imaginatively choreographed; the CGI is so good that we are invested in all this.

Christoph Waltz plays Ido with sparkling eyes; He was almost expecting him to walk for 10 minutes before sending an unfortunate man to a horrible end until you realized that it was neither a movie nor a movie. of Tarantino, nor one of James Bond. Jennifer Connelly plays Chiren, another version of the cold scientist woman dressed in clothes as white as her heart is black.

Edward Norton is the main villain and he does not have a speaking role – he is not doubtful. The fascination for garbage in the future continues with Iron City, which is this huge dump for the heavenly city of Zalem (it looks like Zalim and also seems to be a perverse place). We could spend time waiting for Alita's future adventures by plunging into the fascinating world of Kishiro.
