Kuseman I've seen the first part of the movie, and I have to say that the movie is totally trash, it's not just a bad film from the totally best Japan Book Series ever, it's a story without sense. I read the original book series, and I also read the second Series, Last order, and i think the movie is bad, totally senseless and bad made. The intentions from the book are not found in the movie, and, I don't know if Yukito Kishiro had designed the film, the typical style of yukito kishiro is not found in the film. Good book, bad film. Sorry. But I heard that James Cameron is planning to do a 3d movie of Battle Angel Alita, I hope it's better made than this trash.

faldo8 Movies like this can completely change your taste in the visual arts. While superficially the plot and characters may seem familiar and overdone, there a parts of this anime that definitely shine.The scene where Yugo realises his dream, with that music in the background, is pretty amazing, and when Ido and Alita send his arm to Zarem in the baloon also sends a tingle up the spine. While I would love to see a continuation of this series, it seems almost fitting that it should end the way it did, leaving the life of Alita to your imagination.

JeffyP This was simply an amazing piece of artwork. This movie had the potential to be right up there next to Akira and Ghost in the Shell. Unfortunately there's just way too much left out, leaving you with a feeling that you've been conned out of a great movie. Gally (the main chick / hero) is the most beautiful anime babe out there. Overall, it's a movie an anime fan will like, but will long for more.... Find the comic books for more.

Spidey-18 I've seen this anime and I must admit I was surprised at the quality. Few other films come close to it's level. The only drawback is the fact that it just seems to drop the end, as if there was a series that was never made. A wonderful film about machines trying blend into a society, even a society as desolate as theirs, are cast out because they are different. The main point of the anime was the main character finding out who she is and what she is. And the road to the top is not always an easy or safe path. THis is a must see for anyone who likes anime. Not only is the story good, it has phenominal artwork.
