Its hundreds of years in the future and society has collapsed. The new world is populated by a mix of humans， robots and cyborgs（半人半機器的生物）. Iron City， the center of the film， is awash in dangerous “HunterWarriors” who roam with official approval. Floating high above the impoverished（赤貧的） city is the tech utopia of Zalem， a mysterious place where none has visited but everyone is rumored to live a life of comfortable luxury. Needless to say， thats not what its like in Iron City. Imagine Blade Runner meets Elysium and youll have the basic setting.

The film opens with Dr. Dyson Ido scrounging through mountains of garbage from Zalem for deserted robotic parts or other technology he can use： He repairs and rebuilds damaged cyborgs. He uncovers the head and body of a deserted female cyborg and realizes that its not dead， just powered down. Taking the parts back to his laboratory， Ido rebuilds and revives the cyborg he names Alita. Unfortunately， she has no memory of who she is.

Soon Alita is up and mobile， exploring the city. When she meets street smart teen Hugo ， they become fast pals. Their game is a smaller version of the popular arena entertainment Motorball， the winner?take?all elimination game played by the toughest and most dangerous denizens of Iron City.

As Alita grows in experience she begins to realize that the city is a complex place and its not long before she is facing off against Hunter?Warriors in a dark alley. To her surprise， she has amazing skills as a warrior and fighter！ This brings her to the attention of Nova and Vector， the evil corporate overlords（領主） that rule Iron City. From his place high up in Zalem， Nova wants Alita dead， but shes tough—shes a battle angel—and killing her proves to be quite difficult.

If you love big budget science fiction with more attention paid to visual effects and computer graphics than a deep and thoughtful story， youre going to love Alita： Battle Angel. Go see it. It looks amazing on the big screen. And if you can get to a 3?D IMAX screening， thatll be worth the extra money.
