Connected to

James Cameron: 1 line people ×1

  1. people (producer): Alita: Battle Angel → James Cameron. Directed by Robert Rodriguez and produced by James Cameron, yet it is the least-discussed successful film of 2019.
    “It's a movie directed by Robert Rodriguez produced by James Cameron.”
    The Big Picture · Our Alternative Academy Awards | The Oscars Show · 0:39:40 · Sean Fennessey (0.60 sure it was them)

John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum: 1 line verdict ×1

  1. verdict (head-to-head): John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum → Alita: Battle Angel. The dog fight wins best action sequence on the strength of unprecedented design and what the director said was the hardest thing he had done.
    “That feels like it has to be the winner.”
    The Big Picture · Our Alternative Academy Awards | The Oscars Show · 0:41:09 · Sean Fennessey (0.50 sure it was them)

Rosa Salazar: 1 line unmapped ×1

  1. unmapped (star): Alita: Battle Angel → Rosa Salazar. Rosa Salazar kicks ass in the motorball sequence and also starred in the Amazon show Undone.
    “She was also the star of a really good show on Amazon called Undone, which like so few people have seen.”

Thor: The Dark World: 1 line theme ×1

  1. theme (theme): Thor: The Dark World → Alita: Battle Angel. Griffin's line from his Alita review frames this film: he is defenseless before silly sci-fi epics that dump lore through a simple hero's journey, like Jupiter Ascending, Valerian, Aquaman.
    “Think of films like Jupe, ascending, Valerian, Aquaman, colorful mega budget, nonsense splash into a grand canvas.”
