Alita: Battle Angel finally made it to theatres this year, long after James Cameron first bought the rights and tried to make the movie in 2005. At the time, a young game designer at Activision thought it might be the right time to pitch an Alita video game.

Alita Battle Angel is an adaptation of the beloved Gunmm  manga, and it’s a movie where everything that could happen in a movie happens. It’s got fights, a fake sport, a romance, and at the center of it all an amnesiac cyborg and her adoptive dad. I sat down with Tim Rogers to talk about all the things we unexpectedly loved about this movie.

Want to see a movie about a battle cyborg? Welcome to Alita.

When the Alita: Battle Angel trailer hit last Saturday, it was impossible not to notice the character Alita's anime-style eyes.
