Battle Angel Alita Trailer

Kid Panda · Dec 9, 2017

So after what? 20+ years Cameron finally gets around to doing this, and then Robert Rodriguez is directing? I'm pretty hype, I'm not expecting it to strongly follow any of the original story, but I think at the very least it will be a good popcorn movie.

Is he trying to strike oil at the bottom of the uncanny valley?

Viewpoint · Dec 9, 2017

I'll watch it. I loved the original manga series to death so this'll be worth a look see.

lmbo at making the retardedly huge anime bug eyes real and not just shrugging them off as an anime thing.

BLEAGH · Dec 9, 2017

Shouldve cged the lips instead.

Girl would have looked the part fine without the big eyes.

Yup. The characters make me feel uncomfortable. This doesn't look like it will be a good movie.

GhostSeed · Dec 9, 2017

This looks terrible. :lolz:

I hope there's a special feature in the home release to make her eyes look normal.

I watched AI as an adult. It's actually a pretty great movie.

Battle Angel Alita, though... The story of the OVA is basically the same as what the trailer shows. Guy builds a robot girl with assassin skills. She begins to question why some people live in the slums and why some people live up above in the floating island. It's OK, nothing amazing. Kind of a weird thing for a major director to hang their hat on.

AI is pretty good, what i meant was that an action based anime/manga giving me an AI vibe isn't a good thing. they could of made it less whimsical and more gritty.

I'll see it. GitS wasn't too bad.

Igakajook · Dec 10, 2017

I'll see it, but I guess I'm glad I knew nothing of this prior to watching the trailer. Zero expectations.

Looked awesome in 3D, I´m looking forward to this too.

Oh, definitely. I think even just some character redesigns would have gone pretty far. Even for the anime, the character designs haven't aged well. Pretty cheesy stuff.

Battle Angel Alita didn't age very well as a manga, IMO. I really feel like the ship has sailed on this thing. I wasn't diabetic when Cameron first talked about adapting it for the big screen.

That said, I will give it a chance and try not to think about it too much.

If I get half of the enjoyment I got out of Speed Racer I will be happy.

I think I respect the live action Speed Racer movie more than I actually like it.

Like, I can't help but approve of how much the Wachowskis paid tribute to the cartoon. Its failure to make money at the box office is more indicative of the anime niche at the time when it was released than anything else.

More to the point, if I was a Speed Racer super fan the same way I am for Mobile Suit Gundam, I'd probably have been thrilled with its presentation and lack of self awareness.

GutsDozer · Dec 11, 2017

I'm super excited, being a fan of the OVA and the Manga and what not.However that being said the eyes are freaking me the shit out. :eye:

Cernex · Dec 12, 2017

Not a fan of the manga myself, but I've heard nothing but great things about it. Would've given it a random chance, but MAN, those eyes. They freak me the fuck out. Such an unnecesary, uncanny valley shit.

This is the weirdest thing ever. Why would you keep bug eyes on only one character? It's not like Alita is the only one with manga eyes. Also, the first second of the trailer gives me serious FF: Spirits Within vibes. I'd still watch it, though. For the lulz.

will prob watch but the CG is pretty meh. might as well watch Dark Angel aka Cameron's Battle Angel before he had the rights lol.
