DNEG’s main body of work in Alita: Battle Angel was creature (cyborg) animation. This included the ‘Factory Gang’ in the crazy bar fight scene, as well as the cyborg, ‘Amok’ in the Ido flashback scene.
In addition to creature work, there was quite a bit of environment work completed for the pick-up rollerball game, as well as the addition of all rollerball skates within that same sequence.
The true star of the movie isn't the writing or any of the performances, it's the visuals. To the filmmakers' credit, the visuals are absolutely stunning and if moviegoers have to choose only one 2019 release to see in IMAX 3D, Alita: Battle Angel is it.Screen Rant
