From the producers of Avatar and Titanic, Alita: BattleAngel is a movie that must be seen on the big screen. Based on a manga and television series released in 1993, Alita is the creation of artist Yukito Kishiro. As a live action movie, audiences can expect awesome battles, and will fall in love with the main character Alita.

A robotic angel found in a scrapyard in the year 2563 by Dr. Ido, played by Christoph Waltz,  becomes the cyborg named Alita. Not remembering anything from her past except the legendary cyborg martial art Panzer Kunst, Alita seeks to become a hunter-warrior. This movie traces Alita’s attempts to rediscover her past and all the people she impacts on her journey.

On set, actor Rosa Salazar, Alita, used special CGI in order to make the character come to life. VFX made Alita look realistic and at the same time look like the cyborg angel she portrays.

Made by the producers of some of the movies that have a special place in our hearts such as Avatar and Titanic, people should expect greatness when watching Alita: Battle Angel.
