Alita: Battle Angel - Review

This year, I am here with a review of a film that I think I have watched three times in a row.

The film, directed by Robert Rodriguez, takes place in a futuristic future and, after a great war ends, the world has become a place called Zalem where the elite live, and the surface where ordinary people live.

Doctor Ido, whom we can call a machine doctor, one day finds a girl while wandering in the city scrapyard, the city dump, and takes her home, attaches to her the body he previously made for his own daughter, and helps her come back to life. He gives her the name Alita, which was his own daughter’s name, and thus our film begins.

Alita, with the new people she meets in the world, plays a game called motorball, and later goes with her friends she plays motorball with to the wreck of an old spaceship, and after finding an armor there brings it to Doctor Ido. Though she wants Ido to put this armor on her, Ido initially refuses.

Our stubborn character provokes the hunter warriors, and after losing her old body during a battle where she saves Ido by fighting someone stronger, Ido is forced to put this new armor on Alita.

The armor turns out to be a 300-year-old device produced and used by Mars colony soldiers during wartime, and it is thus revealed that Alita is a 300-year-old cyborg.
