Alita: Battle Angel is an absolute marvel - a film that captivates both the eyes and the heart. From the stunning visuals to the powerful storytelling, every moment is crafted with care. Alita's courage and humanity left me truly moved.

Rosa Salazar and Christoph Waltz deliver very solid performances, and the world-building is immersive and detailed. The action is thrilling, the love story is heartfelt, and the soundtrack, especially Dua Lipa's end-credits song, perfectly complements the experience.

I passionately hope the creators finish their current projects soon. Avatar and similar films just don't excite me the same way - please, please focus on Alita and give this universe the sequels it deserves. This is a film that inspires, excites, and leaves a lasting impression.

Not as glorious as Shawn of the dead but all the ingredients are here again: Pubs, Friends, the end of the world and Cornettos. Additional some good laughs, Aliens and the Sisters of mercy. For me it sums up to something worthwhile watching and even makes me wonder if I, at 47 of age and father of 3, should get rid of my hugh Sisters of Mercy decoration on my old Volkswagen. Naa...I think I'll leave it there. Reminds where I'm coming from and what's still part of me.

1st Terminator will always be my favorite. It was the 80', I grew up....was maybe 12 years old when my mother brought this film home to watch together on VHS. I loved my Mom for being so cool to let me watch it and it completely hammered me away. Today, so many years later, I can hear my self sometimes humming the theme when ironing or doing dishes or something else which leaves to much space in my brain available. So it became part of my "brain-screen-savers", if you understand my meaning. The Terminator franchise is something important to me as I had bound so strong to the 1st. Judgement Day then was again something which overwhelmed me. Now the 90', me still in school but this time it was Cinema with friends. Holy moly, they did it again. That was well spent time and money at that time. A real action block bluster and a worthy nr 2. The 3rd was the first big disappointment. Typical 3rd.....nothing big anymore, mediocre in its acting and overall making. Only scenes still stuck a bit in my mind was the Truck-chase in the streets and Mrs Terminator who could inflate her boobies if needed. That was, I have to admit, an somewhat intreaging idea. But Terminator was dead for me. They killed it.

But they reanimated it as well! With Terminator Salvation !

Sweet cast and absolutely fine crafted. It is an entertaining action movie with nasty robots, dooms-day feeling and heroes fighting in resistance. Good story, good action, good acting, and many little flash backs like Guns'n'Roses music and " I'll be back". Can you really expect more from something which was dead ? How can people here rate this film so badly? And if you know that anything which came and will come afterwards will be rubbish again, then this one earned its 8 stars from me.
