Alita: Battle Angel (2019)
I think the biggest fault of tonight’s movie is they missed the perfect opportunity to both reference a previous Cameron movie while also being self-standing with a tagline like “She’s state of the bad ass art.” Now, a bit of preamble - I got this on 4k, but also as the combo-pack with 3D. The intent was to start off with the 3D version, which comes highly recommended by one of my friends - but the world has a way of making things… complicated. None of the glasses were charged, in the short run I’m not even positive any of them are compliant with the projector, the computer might not be doing 3D as it used to, and the 3D bluray player I own isn’t hooked up to the projector and would take all manner of re-jigging cables to do so. I could have even tried it in VR, but there doesn’t seem to exist a program that allows both VR and proper 3D viewing straight from the disc, so I’d need to rip a movie that I had just received and push back the time it took to get to the review before I even hit the wall of “don’t have the software to rip Bluray discs.” What this amounts to is that you might be able expect me to either addend the end of this review later on when I get the 3D back in fighting spirits, or perhaps just spin that portion off into a QF review. For now, we rip that 4k image wide open and get our robot-arms ready for maximum high five, tonight is Alita: Battle Angel.
