Avatar and Titanic Filmmakers create new movie experience in “ALITA: BATTLE ANGEL”

Setting standards anew notches higher in (big-screen) cinematic experience, James Cameron and Jon Landau (producers) along with director Robert Rodriguez blend the bleeding edge of digital tools with the art of epic, human storytelling in “Alita: Battle Angel.”

The mesmerizing adventure of Alita begins as cyberphysician Dr. Ido (Christoph Waltz) makes a scrapyard find that will change his life and Iron City forever: the discarded “cyber-core” of a girl whose body may be broken but her human brain is still barely pulsing with life. Ido cannot abandon her. He begins to restore this mysterious cyborg and discovers a second chance at fatherhood—a chance to watch her learn, grow and taste the wondrous pleasures of life for the first time with wide-eyed excitement. But the sweet, curious girl Ido names Alita (Rosa Salazar) hides many secrets. When Alita inadvertently reveals she possesses unique long lost fighting skills, it becomes clear she must carve out her own destiny. For even if the art of the battle was long ago hardwired into her, Alita must discover in her soul the reasons to fight.
