  • Warning: Minor spoilers ahead for "Alita: Battle Angel."
  • New sci-fi action movie "Alita: Battle Angel" is an impressive achievement in visual effects that skates by on thin writing thanks to a fantastic ensemble cast. 

"Alita: Battle Angel" starts with a compelling opening. From the moment the familiar 20th Century Fox logo flickers and changes to say "26th Century Fox" in decrepit lettering instead, there's a promise of greatness ahead. But about halfway through the spectacle of impressive world-building and character designs, the story's weakness begin overtaking the impressive cast and well-designed action. 

Why you should care: The movie is based on a successful manga series and has a fantastic cast 

"Alita: Battle Angel" is an adaptation of a'90s Japanese manga series called Gunnm by Yukito Kishiro. This live-action version was produced and co-written by James Cameron ("Titantic," "Avatar") along with Laeta Kalogridis (Netflix's "Altered Carbon"). It was directed by Robert Rodriguez ("From Dusk Till Dawn," "Spy Kids").
