Alita: Battle Angel. A good six-buck buy, Comcast pay per view

I like it. Its a Japanese sci-fi Manga cartoon character, greatly played by Rosa Salazar. Who? See pic.
Billed as a cyber-punk story set in the mid-2500's after the last great war (again?), Alita is a cyborg ass kicker spliced together by a mechanical engineer/medical doctor played by Christoph Waltz. That guy is good. His nuance of speech and gesture are impeccable. Alone, he could make this worth watching.
It's basically a teen flick written by James Cameron (Avatar), directed by Robert Rodriguez (El Mariachi, Machete, Sin City). This thing was started in 2003, but hit all kinds of production snags on its way to being released earlier this year. The comic books are a series, and so is the film. There's already a sequel in the works.
It's not just effects and action. There is actually a story inside this thing. I think you will like it. Check it out. I think James Caan would like it.
