10 Brilliant Moments In Terrible Recent Films

Alita: Battle Angel may not boast a seriously compelling narrative or bring out the best in its seriously star-studded cast, but there are a few moments which make the Iron City experience worthwhile.

The film's visual effects are among the very best you'll see in a modern picture, with Rosa Salazar's detailed performance as Alita being one of the most stunning uses of motion capture to date. Away from the masterful motion capture work, though, another fantastic sequence involving a whole host of intimidating cyborgs arguably stole the entire movie.

Earlier in the flick, Alita is introduced to the popular racing sport known as Motorball. Sensing she may be good enough to compete and earn the prize money to send Hugo to Zalem, she enters a tryout race against a group of baddies all focused on putting her out of commission.

The ensuing high-speed battle showcases what Alita's berserker body is truly capable of as she picks off each of her dastardly opponents with clinical attacks and jaw-dropping agility.

Much of the film's dialogue may have sent the wrong kind of shivers up your spine, but this heart-stopping death race was worth the price of admission alone.
