Just got out the door.
I enjoyed it. Visually it's well realised - especially in IMAX. Beautiful 3D ultraviolence. I cann't really review it because I'm familiar with the source material - but it makes a big effort to get as much of the big "Alita" coolness in for people to enjoy. The beauty of a preview screening is that I can finally enjoy a movie for six whole days before the internet tells me why it's shite and I should hate it.
And that a few of the scenes the movie added to flesh out the background or introduce concepts - I enjoyed.
One or two things bugged me, but they're minor little things. I think certain elements may be introduced a little too early - but that's probably because the film is a condensation, and the film knows a lot of those things in advance. It goes along like a bat out of hell.

I love the smell of rotaries in the morning. You know one time, I got to work early, before the rush hour. I walked through the empty carpark, I didn't see one bloody Prius or Golf. And that smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole carpark, smelled like.... ....speed.
One day they're going to ban them.
