From the previews, the character of Alita reminded me of the GMO fighter from The Windup Girl and I could still see hints of that. But the world is modern instead of steampunk, and not nearly as in-your-face dystopian. Alita is a cyborg creature rescued from the trash heap and spends most of the film discovering her identity and character. She finds herself to be a fighter with a mission to seek justice. I didn't know anything about the original manga which means no expectations or history. I do know something about how much I like 3D movies but decided to give it a try anyway. 3D means still don't waste your money, no 3D value added. Hoping this makes enough money to become a franchise.
