Alita: Battle Angel.
The film looks stupid because they gave the main character giant anime eyes.
In the context of the film it makes sense and I think the look is meant to mirror the anime it is from... but for the film it still makes the film look stupid. Now the film itself is far from perfect, there is at least one storyline that is utter dogshit. However! The film ultimately was solid.
Sadly it ends setting up future films that will never happen, but I think it's still enjoyable overall.

It's one thing when it's Andy Serkis playing Gollum or something but she was just playing a robot girl, but she looks like a throwaway CGI character.
How comes they won't be making more?

Now some very influential people who were involved in the first one want to make a second one, so maybe just maybe it will happen one day... But I doubt it.
I saw it. There's at least two of us.
It's funny I saw it completely randomly.
I was chatting with a coworker and just off handedly mentioned how bad Alita looked and they jumped on to defend the film and series harder than I'd ever seen anyone defend anything before. It was a true, "I've waited all my life for this moment" for them.
My evening was free and it was one of those $5 Tuesday type movie nights so I figured what the hell.
So there was at least another that convinced me, got to pay it forward.

It still looks goofy as f
