Alita: Battle Angel took a while to find its legs but eventually became something of a sleeper hit. Every penny it made was well-deserved, as it's a stylish and fun sci-fi action movie with some astonishingly cool fight scenes. One of the most eye-catching elements of the movie is Alita herself, who is a CGI creation derived from motion capture by Rosa Salazar. When Alita was first unveiled in the first trailer back in December 2017 she received quite a lot of criticism. Inspired by the original anime she's an alien-looking character with unnaturally big eyes, with many claiming she falls squarely within the uncanny valley.
