Activates my lizard brain': why Alita: Battle Angel is my feelgood movie
Briefly

"The act of pressing play on even a feel-good movie like His Girl Friday or Toy Story 2 nags at me as overly self-conscious, making it hard to engage."
"In recent years, that movie is Alita: Battle Angel; it goes straight to the pleasure center of my imagination without engaging directly with my emotions."
"I initially gave Alita a measuredly positive review, but after multiple viewings, my resistance to its corny dialogue and shape wore off considerably."
"Alita showcases a narrative richness and character complexity, boasting Cameron's characteristic generosity in story-telling that often feels absent in contemporary sci-fi films."
