Real Steel: A Movie Review

We all had a chance to savour the "reality" brought to us by IMAX Corporation.  The incredible release of the 2011, American science fiction film, "Real Steel" says it all!  Starring Hugh Jackman (Charlie Kenton), this movie took me into some very extraordinary world, where the sport of boxing has definitely become high-tech. 

Jackman plays the flat broke ex pro boxer, now a robot promoter.  He had to take temporary custody on his long lost son Max (Dakota Goyo) who is a fan of robot boxing and has interest in his father's profession. Unfortunately, Max gets challenged by his father's "could care less" attitude towards him.  If you only knew what it felt like to have a father who is willing to trade you for some amount of money in order to pay his debts.  That was really heart breaking to watch.  A number of things transpired before Max has his life saved by a mere sparring bot who has some peculiar features.   The core of the story is the rise of this used to be "out of towner"  robot to taking on the big boss champion in what you could call a sort of karate kid/rocky sci-fi.

Watching the film, it came across my mind that the journey of this story is totally great for all ages.  More to that, I liked how it depicted certain twists in relationships between Max and Charlie, and between Charlie and childhood friend Bailey (Evangeline Lilly) .  I loved the action-packed fighting scenes of those robots.  They looked for real, that it was easy for me to indulge in to my excitement.  An emotion that was not remote-controlled definitely makes the movie a must-watch for everyone.  It is nothing major but it had a good ending.  This is a film, that is appealing to everyone. It had a great original storyline that would leave your heart shivering for passion.  Go and see it in the cinema and I assure you it will be worth your money!
