   Alita: Battle Angel

   When Alita awakens with no memory of who she is in a future world she does not   
   recognize, she is taken in by Ido, a compassionate doctor who realizes that   
   somewhere in this abandoned cyborg shell is the heart and soul of a young   
   woman with an    
   extraordinary past. As Alita learns to navigate her new life and the   
   treacherous streets of Iron City, Ido tries to shield her from her mysterious   
   history while her street-smart new friend Hugo offers instead to help trigger   
   her memories. But it is only    
   when the deadly and corrupt forces that run the city come after Alita that she   
   discovers a clue to her past -- she has unique fighting abilities that those   
   in power will stop at nothing to control.

   Pretty darn good distopian SF flick, a little predictable but then the ancient   
   Greeks were the last to create something truly new.  The fx isn't just good   
   but well thought out and consistent.  The action is fluid and dynamic.  And   
   the acting was good.  I    
   just wish they had fleshed out her origins a bit more.
