While “Alita: Battle Angel” is being billed as an “Avatar”-esque epic, it falls so robotically short it’s not even funny.
Produced by James Cameron and Jon Landau, and directed by Robert Rodriguez, “Alita” is an adaptation of a Manga. While it may avoided the uncanny valley, but it also avoids logic and fun. Rosa Salazar, Christoph Waltz, Jennifer Connelly, Ed Skrein, Jackie Earle Haley, Eiza Gonzalez, Michelle Rodriguez, Lana Condor, Casper Van Dien, Jorge Lendenborg Jr., and Mahershala Ali star.
