Alita: Battle Angel Trailer 3

A third movie trailer for Alita: Battle Angel (2018) has debuted from 20th Century Fox. This trailer is easily the best trailer for the film thus far (the first trailer for Alita: Battle Angel was weak) but I do believe it gives away a bit much of the third act of the film. I like the action but it could easily be a Transformer performing the same acts and Decepticons being destroyed in the arena. That is the problem. The story needs to be more than that, and it seems to be based on the first two trailers for the film, or it will be nothing more than a ABC, by-the-book action film.

Alita: Battle Angel‘s plot synopsis: based on the graphic novel by Yukito Kishiro, “Visionary filmmakers James Cameron (AVATAR) and Robert Rodriguez (SIN CITY) create a groundbreaking new heroine in ALITA: BATTLE ANGEL, an action-packed story of hope, love and empowerment. Set several centuries in the future, the abandoned Alita (Rosa Salazar) is found in the scrapyard of Iron City by Ido (Christoph Waltz), a compassionate cyber-doctor who takes the unconscious cyborg Alita to his clinic. When Alita awakens she has no memory of who she is, nor does she have any recognition of the world she finds herself in.

Everything is new to Alita, every experience a first. As she learns to navigate her new life and the treacherous streets of Iron City, Ido tries to shield Alita from her mysterious past while her street-smart new friend, Hugo (Keean Johnson), offers instead to help trigger her memories. A growing affection develops between the two until deadly forces come after Alita and threaten her newfound relationships. It is then that Alita discovers she has extraordinary fighting abilities that could be used to save the friends and family she’s grown to love. Determined to uncover the truth behind her origin, Alita sets out on a journey that will lead her to take on the injustices of this dark, corrupt world, and discover that one young woman can change the world in which she lives.”

Robert Rodriguez‘s Alita: Battle Angel stars Rosa Salazar, Christoph Waltz, Jennifer Connelly, Mahershala Ali, Ed Skrein, Jackie Earle Haley, Keean Johnson, Eiza González, Michelle Rodriguez, Jeff Fahey, Casper Van Dien, Lana Condor, Jorge Lendeborg Jr., Marko Zaror, Elle LaMont, and Idara Victor.
