Alita doesn't have a story that is about say good vs evil or 1 person vs another. It's written in sequential arcs that is pretty much about her growing up in her new life. She's lost her memory but the story isn't about regaining her memory, so it's hard for them to just make a trailer showing you "pretty much" what the story is about. There's romance, lots of action, a girl finding her way, and a lot about how the world affects her. Likely that the movie won't convery all of this as well as the manga, so I will likely watch the cam footage.

Yup. Can't believe what they were thinking with some of the dialog, there are so many awful, awful lines in this. I presume we'll never see the guy actor ever again either because that guy couldn't act his way out of a wet paper bag.

For the rest this movie just feels so unlike Robert Rodriguez. While the movie is an incredible technical feat, it is rarely visually appealing because no place in the world created feels particularly interesting. The soundtrack is the awful drab and uninspired tripe that just heavily drones on and instead of leading scenes reacts to every visual cue. Stylistically this just has nothing going for it, like all the low-budget rebellious filmmaking of Rodriguez feels like it got lost in the Hollywood machine.

At the end of the horribly paced two hours it's hard to believe this movie was intended to be anything other than a jerk-off fest for people with an anime eyes fetish. And I do feel I'm being kind then.
