ALITA: BATTLE ANGEL

-

Cert 12 ★★ Digital today, disc July 22

This comic-book dystopian sci-fi blockbuste­r grinds along under the weight of its many malfunctio­ning parts, despite being written and produced by the director of Terminator 2: Judgment Day, James Cameron. It’s directed with a sledgehamm­er sensibilit­y by Robert “Desperado” Rodriguez, and feels bashed together at great expense. At least Rosa Salazar is engaging as cyborg warrior Alita, who tries to establish her identity while romancing a leather-clad ruffian and juggling an overstuffe­d and open-ended script.
