Hiro Protagonist Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Alita looks fantastic. Just like the manga. I've never actually read the manga myself.

But this hybrid style that they are going for is really weird. Not weird at all. Alita looks like she does in the manga. am thinking it is a given that the manga is highly stylized. not photorealistic. maintaining such a manga ascetic for a single character is... odd. is jarring. is a curious choice. now imagine how folks would react if vector looked like he does in the manga? "weird" would be the most diplomatic criticism one would expect. HA!

You mean just as she does in a medium that employs a consistent art style, which is also in-line with the design language of that medium in general.

Amentep Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 I dunno, the look for the original Manga is pretty stylized. But then again making Alita look less human I think fits the story. Anyhow... 1 I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet?

algroth Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 I've never actually read the manga myself. But this hybrid style that they are going for is really weird. Hybrid in two ways. One, a mix of CGI and real people. Two, the anime aesthetic on Alita is not applied to the other androids. Yeah, that's what strikes me as weird. It wouldn't be as jarring (though still strange) if the rest of the characters were stylized in a similar fashion, but doing this approach for just this one character seems to only heighten the uncanny valley feeling about her. I'm not familiar with the manga so perhaps there *is* a point to it, but right now I'm not seeing it. I like Waltz and Connelly a lot, so maybe something will come of this. Not holding my breath. The trailer seems to over sell itself. Yeah, I like the cast well enough - Mahershala Ali is also great. It's Robert Rodriguez I would worry about though, given how greater bulk of his filmography has turned out.

algroth Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 (edited) Looks rather curious. I think I like this trailer more than the last one, "Jump" aside.

injurai Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 The fact that the movie has a strange subtitle makes me think they are adding in some superflous plot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raithe Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 On some levels I like the concept..and find it extremely distasteful at the same time. "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alita has been remarked in the manga about her eyes by other characters (and her octopus lips which they've left out of the movie). Maybe the other characters in the manga don't know Alita is in the manga and that she's in a medium that employs a consistent art style, which is also in-line with the design language of that medium in general?

Hurlshort Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 As someone who grew up riding my bike past the Winchester Mystery House regularly, that movie looks like a pretty lame use of great source material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amentep Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 There's probably a really good dramatic movie to be made on the creation of the Winchester Mystery House. That said, I'm up for a decent horror movie that uses the setting. I'm not sure that this is it (but then again, I've grown to dislike a lot of how trailers are edited these days). 1 I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that?

injurai Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Really looking forward to that. Probably more so than the other upcoming marvel films. I think I'm a fan of things that aren't on the global/galactic scale yet. I also think Ant-man is one of the few marvel films where the overall tone fits the humor. Iron Man 1 is another. But they've been straying a bit over time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManifestedISO Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 No doubt. Evie Lilly better and better with age. That's two upcoming movies now featuring the British bike of current daydreams, a black Triumph Thruxton R. Alicia Vikander spotted on one in the TR trailer. All Stop. On Screen.
