The year 3030
wonder when we getting that home release.

It was released the same timeframe as Happy Death Day 2U, and that's coming out this week.

I am looking forward to the 4K...hope BB drops a steel book

movie was cool

felt like they tried to fit in way too many ideas.. a lot of them are cool ideas so the world ends up being dope :heh:


and the visuals for the fights + motorball make it worth watching the movie just for that :banderas:


but there's way too much random shyt going on at the same time and the ending is kinda :dahell:

just end up with a "then what the fukk was all that for?" type feeling :francis:


hoping for a pacific rim 2 type miracle sequel :lupe: to continue the story and because there should just be more movies that look like this :feedme:

dope movie

great world building and character design

amazing visuals and action sequence

great heroin that's fun and easy to cheer for

it had some corny/cheesy dialogue in some places but all in all it had a story that keep's you asking for more and more

this movie would have made 700 million+ and had a low 80 score on rotten tomato if it had the marvel logo in front of it:francis: the power of brand building

I liked it. Never heard of the source material but this was mostly a trial run for what to expect in the upcoming Avatar sequels with the visuals.

This movie was trash as fukk. Only consolation is that I could even barely make through half of Shazam. Unfortunately, I had to watch this whole garbage.

The VFX team did movie magic on this joint looking at the BTS. The only thing not CG on Alita is her nose and mouth

Possibly:ld:

And on the coli this movie would’ve been shytted on for its; weak villain, forced awkward love story, forced woman power pandering agenda, too many jokes and for not being Wonder Women. If it had that Marvel logo in front of it.... among many other things that some would nitpick and gripe about

The gift and the curse of “that branding”
