COURTESY 20TH CENTURY FOX
Alita, voiced by Rosa Salazar, in a scene from “Alita: Battle Angel.”
“ALITA: BATTLE ANGEL”
>> Rated: PG-13 for sequences of sci-fi violence and action, and for some language
>> What it’s about: An adaptation of the popular manga, this blockbuster sci-fi epic follows a young cyborg as she comes into her full powers while fighting the forces of evil.
>> The kid attractor factor: The bombastic action-adventure style and young lead character will likely draw younger audiences.
>> Good lessons/bad lessons: Fight for what’s right, stand up to the man, defend those you love.
>> Violence: This film is quite violent — shockingly so — but manages to get away with it because there’s no actual blood and guts. Every being that’s shredded and dismembered is of the robotic variety.
