“Real Steel” is set in the near future where robots have replaced boxers in the ring. Directed by Shawn Levy, Dreamworks’ “Real Steel” is about three underdogs: a deadbeat dad & former boxer turned robot boxing promoter who’s racked up thousands in debt named “Charlie,” (Hugh Jackman), his estranged 11 year-old son, Max, who just lost his mother (Dakota Goyo) and a scrapped junkyard robot named “Atom.”
Charley and Max are unhappily reunited but find themselves in a unique partnership over their common interest: robot boxing. Their adventures take them through the wildly-inappropriate-for-an-11-year-old underground world of fighting robot machines (and crazy-looking men with mo-hawks and tattoos), and onward toward a journey of redemption and second chances. When it seems like all their luck’s run out, “Atom” finds them.
The movie is set in the “near future” of 2020 where robots pummeling each other have become more popular than humans pummeling each other. And because the movie is a mix of technology and old-fashioned boxing, the production team had to bring in some heavy hitters for assistance. Eight-foot tall robot replicas were created for the set for the actors to interact with at the urging of Executive Producer Steven Spielberg, and as for the boxing? None other than the legend himself, Sugar Ray Leonard, who choreographed the boxing moves and helped Hugh Jackman hone his skills.
The robots each have a distinctive look, personality and color scheme and range in sizes from 7′ 6 to 8′ 5 in height. Based on human form, they have two arms, two legs, a torso and a head.

My family really enjoyed watching this movie together. It was exciting, interesting, loud and heartwarming. Our favorite robot is Atom. There were some pretty cool robots like Midas and Noisy Boy, but we were rooting for Atom. My son now wants to build his own robot just like the character in the movie. My kids have asked to watch this movie two days in a row and are already playing “robots” as well. I give this movie two thumbs up because not only were my kids entertained but my husband enjoyed the movie as well.
