The Animatrix (Review)

[vandal5]

Zero reason to watch this; we're already living in the prequel.

I agree with this, people are more plugged in than ever.

GO SEE IT IN IMAX 3D RIGHT NOW!!!!!1

It's up there with Ninja Commando. You will hate yourself if you wait

A a fan of the Anime I have seen it twice now. You can tell it was a labor of love by Cameron.

It's not getting very good reviews. I can say I saw Avatar 3D and really enjoyed, but when I rented it to see it again, it sucked, making me realize it was truly the A 3D experience that made it worth watching. Also, most of Robert Rodriguez movies suck, so that's another one making it tough for me to go sit in a movie theater.

Yep, it seems like many critics hate it and were calling it a flop a month or more before the release date.

Audience scores seem to be higher though, at 94% on RT and 8.6/10 on Metacritic.

IMDB has it at a weighted average of 7.6, putting it in the neighborhood of, and higher than many, big name block busters including several of the Marvel movies. Compared to the super hero stuff (maybe not relevant to your taste, but probably a reasonable comparison, I think) Alita is currently rated higher on IMDB than Iron Man 2 & 3, Ant Man 1 & 2, Captain America 1, Spiderman Homecoming, Avengers 2, Dr. Strange, Thor 1 & 2, Black Panther, and Wonder Woman, and is within a point of Guardians 2. Admittedly that's with only 50,000 user ratings, so it could go down, or up, over time.

The movie does have a young adult feel to it, but I don't think it deserves the critical mauling it got prior to it's release.

This is a good point. I really hadn't watched any of the trailers for Alita before watching it (had forgotten it was coming), but after seeing the movie in 3D and then going back to watch a few video clips on my computer, the CGI really does look much better, and the Alita character especially is much more convincing, in the theater. It's likely a movie that will be more enjoyable in the theater than at home (unless you have a really top notch home theater). I certainly wouldn't have enjoyed it as much if viewing it at home on BluRay or DVD for the first time.
