Majkol posted:The bolded part is a little dishonest, it's pretty clear Toni Collette's mother was a major abusive piece of poo poo and it hosed up the family real good. It's even in the title. It's also important to note that Toni Collette herself is pretty clearly an abuser.

Alita was fine and I enjoyed watching it, but I do not understand the extremely fervent following it has here. The extremely blatant “see you in the sequel!” ending also felt like a giant middle finger to the audience for no reason. It could have easily had a satisfying conclusion if they hadn’t been so concerned with setting up a franchise that probably won’t even happen now.

So basically exactly what they've always been doing except they've automated some of it by offloading it onto an algorithm instead of having some guy with a spreadsheet crunching the numbers by hand, truly this is the death of cinema.

This is just a faster version to do what they were already doing before. A shame because I'd really like to see them invent a movie or two based purely on what an algorithm suggests. Maybe a horror thriller starring Kathy Bates, Keanu Reeves and Quvenzhané Wallis is really what the audiences wanted all along.

Maxwell Lord posted:Alita also benefits a lot from Rosa Salazar in the lead role; she's very lively and enthusiastic and charming. There's a strong contrast between her loving her life and wanting to experience things and the cynical world around her. It's a pretty strong cast overall but she carries it. The film has some structural issues owing to it being a fairly faithful adaptation of a much longer manga, it lacks a really strong climax, but Alita's charm and the cool worldbuilding make up for it. Christopher Waltz didn't hurt either but yeah. It's a sincere, fun action scifi with a cool aesthetic, some great performances and a decent amount of cheese. Also the hammer owns.

How far does this get along before Warner Bros realizes they've stopped greenlighting all films with female leads and actors of color? AI systems are not objective! They replicate existing biases at a mass scale!

pospysyl posted:When a marketable star dies before or during movie production, the current vogue is to use a CGI replacement, but I think we should go back to the practical effect of hiring people who look like the dead actor and pretending they're the same actor but with a slightly different last name. The modern version of this is what they did for Fast & Furious. Film the guy's brother using angles and edits that hide or draw attention away from his face but morph the brother's face into the dead actor's using CG where necessary.

It felt like an old-school blockbuster, the kind that's trying to be an actual movie with coherent themes and characters and not just a bunch of Big CGI Set Pieces with jokey padding in between. It's also an incredibly faithful and respectful adaptation of one of my favorite comics, from any country, of all time. On top of that, Rosa Salazar's perfornance is genuinely incredible and endearing as all hell, and rather than getting lost under the CGI the CGI actively benefits it. Waltz and Ali do really fantastic work too, even if Salazar overshadows them. Also, I appreciate it having the sheer granite balls to brutally kill the male love interest not once, not twice, but three goddamn times. Hammer helps, yes, but it's a rad loving movie even without considering the hammer.
