Not bad but .......

Rating: 7/10 (24 August 2013)

The film was well put together, and yes, I enjoyed it... But if you are going to rip off Battle Angel Alita then why not just make a Battle Angel Alita movie (or Gunnm for the purists). Change Elysium to Tiphares, Mat Damon to a female android (Gally) and lack of medical care to illegal organ harvesting, and... oh look!!! its the Battle Angel Alita story..... As I said earlier, I did enjoy it and the film was well put together, Mr Damon was well suited to this role, the bad guys were suitably twisted and power hungry, the damsel in distress was, well, insipid and boring as hell actually! But there was plenty of flying body parts, explosions and all round action to make up for that. Not a film I would go out and buy on DVD but worth a look see at least once.
