Through the use of beautiful and hyper-realistic CGI, Alita: Battle Angel has some of the most well crafted and thought out action set pieces in any movie that came out during its year of release.
Media Play News presents the Home Media Awards. Alita: Battle Angel is nominated for several categories like Best AV quality, Best 4K UHD BR Disk, Best SciFi Home Release. Voting is open until April 3rd. Vote at the link below:
“Robert Rodriguez delivered a surprisingly big budget adaptation of the Gunnm manga, and it was actually quite good. It has cyborg hitmen, the floating cities of the rich, the ancient fighting style of Panzer Kunst, and Christoph Waltz trying his best to convince the world that he can wield a giant CGI rocket pickaxe.
After a disappointing return at the box office, a sequel to Alita seems unlikely, but with a loyal and vocal fanbase, we can only dream that we will see the big eyed warrior take on the elitist city Zalem and Nova along with it.”
Before our Alita: Battle Angel watch party began, we spoke to voice actor David Sobolov and asked him questions about his experience working on the Alita film. It was a great interview and a fun watch party. The video is linked below:
Critical Blast held a contest that some of us voted in, and in the category of Best Film Actor of 2019, Rosa Salazar unfortunately didn’t win but she did make the top 5 with Joaquin Phoenix, Keanu Reeves, Brie Larson, and Taron Edgerton.
MMA fighter, Liza Verzosa, spoke with Drake Riggs of mymmanews.com:
“As for the “Battle Angel” moniker, it comes from the 1990s manga series which was recently turned into a feature film as of 2019, Alita: Battle Angel. Verzosa found herself connecting with the character and her spirit for fighting. Therefore the nickname was adopted.”
