I had no expectations for this film, and I was pleasantly surprised.
It's true that there is nothing genuinely new in the design of the sets and characters, nor in the story, nor in the visuals, but everything is certainly represented at a great level. It's also true that more than a Robert Rodriguez film, the film feels visually more like a James Cameron film (which is not bad per se). Without a doubt, the influence of the American director is palpable throughout the production (not in vain is he the driving force behind this project and one of the two main scriptwriters).
The sensations that the film conveys are that of watching a Japanese anime brought to the screen literally. Alita leaves us with totally iconic and unforgettable images, unbridled and constant action in which the viewer finds out everything (very well shot) and with a story seen a thousand times, but wonderfully told.
The actors are great, especially the main character, who despite being completely CGI, has a depth rarely seen and is a step further (if that is possible) in the use of motion capture and realism. Her enormous and controversial eyes have turned out to be a characteristic that gives the film a unique image that does not look out of place at all.
If you can, I would go to the largest room I could (in my case, an IMAX 3D room), in 3D if possible, and I would let myself be carried away for 2 hours by the best cyberpunk action film that cinema has given us in many, many years.
The best thing that can be said about this film is that when it ends, one is left wanting more. And that isn't usual.
Positive: Visually it is a delight. We have already seen what it tells, but it is so well done that it does not matter. Amazing designs. 3D gives the film a depth and spectacularity rarely seen. The fight scene in the cantina (and in its basement).
Negative: It doesn't tell anything particularly original. It ends a bit abruptly, in view of a sequel that we don't know if it will be made (hopefully it will).
