"Alita: Battle Angel" is an impeccable masterpiece in terms of sensory vision, which is enough to make the future world look like the real one, and the moving action design makes the film as a comic work, achieving the perfection of two-dimensional and special effects Fusion, but it is a pity that the film failed to create an unforgettable Alita, a flat and empty American hero image, which undoubtedly made the film fall into the dilemma of high and low.
James Cameron's screenwriter and executive producer, Robert Rodriguez's director, this powerful Hollywood lineup has actually ensured that "Alita: Battle Angel" can't be a bad movie that does nothing, in Hollywood Under the blessing of top special effects, the future world created by the two people is not only within reach. The fusion of oriental martial arts and cyberpunk in action creates an eye-popping visual spectacle. Visually, "Alita: Battle Angel" is beyond expectations, even as a producer, it does not There is no disgrace to James Cameron's golden brand.
Under such amazing special effects, "Alita: Battle Angel" adapted from the Japanese comic "Bombardment" actually does not lack the depth of its core. The hidden worries of intelligent development also have a shout for the awakening of personal consciousness. In the movie, Alita, as the heroine, her awakening represents a challenge to fate, a struggle against injustice, and a return to humanity. However, in front of this abundant core, Alita, who was supposed to carry it all, was not given a soul to match her in the movie.
As a movie named after the heroine, in fact, everyone knows that Alita will have her own protagonist halo from the beginning, but the "ability" endowed by the movie is still too powerful. One at the beginning is enough to kill everything in seconds. The protagonist without any setbacks and tempering makes the film even with unparalleled special effects, but it does not produce the equivalent climax, and at the same time, the weak villain and the superficial innuendo to other social phenomena are all. Even if the movie fails to resonate with Alita's emotions, it also fails to generate interest in these little actions that are clearly buried for the sequel.
It is precisely because of the absence of the protagonist's growth that Alita's battle and awakening in the movie seem to be separated. This sense of separation makes some of Alita's actions in the movie lose their motivation to act. The relationship between her and the transforming doctor Ide and the young Hugo became inexplicable. As the plot progressed, the fate of the characters not only did not become a fetter that affects people's hearts, but became more and more dispensable. This act of going the other way, blindly focusing on strengthening individual heroism, makes the antitopia, the deeper core hidden behind individual heroism, bleak.
This is a movie with a veritable battle. The highlights that Cameron added to the movie are dazzling, but what was destroyed by the imposition of personal heroes is the plot and the deep core of the movie. The explosion lasted for two hours. It just makes people feel aesthetic fatigue at the end.
