Both are have very cool fights and visuals made for IMAX 3D (both use the IMAX aspect ratio to it's advantage).

However both of these are dumb as fuck. Scripts for both are all over the place. And this is an anime come to life. Which would have been cool had The Matrix not done that shit 2 decades earlier.

This is mos def a James Cameron movie filtered through the lens of Robert Rodriguez. Take that as you will.

Rejoice that they made Alita's eyes much smaller than what's in the trailer in the initial post. The close-up of her waking up is still hella creepy and cats did groan at that shit.

This is better than Aquaman tho as the visuals are much better and the runtime is 30 minutes shorter (even though it still felt long).
