If you loved Alita: Battle Angel, try X-Men: First Class
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Theysit in Action / Adventure / Science Fiction territory. If that's the register that drew you to Alita: Battle Angel, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What X-Men: First Class is
1962, Cuban Missile Crisis, a submarine sonar beeps. Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr forge an unlikely alliance with other mutants to prevent global catastrophe. Vaughn reinvigorates the franchise with this origin story.
