First the synopsis from IMDb.
 

“Set in the near future, where robot boxing is a top sport, a struggling promoter feels he’s found a champion in a discarded robot. During his hopeful rise to the top, he discovers he has an 11-year-old son who wants to know his father.”

Much anticipation had been placed on this movie especially when everyone in my circle had highly recommended it. And i pretty much enjoyed the entire show.

The plot borderlines corny with some cheesy scenes i could go without but the good performance by the casts more than made up for it. Evangeline Lilly and Hugh Jackman gave a genuine and endearing performance (ok not so much Jackman but Lilly and him is really good to look at) and Dakota Goyo who plays the cute yet street-smart son is very impressive. He’s a force to look out for, this kid.
 

Loved the robot hero, Atom. Compared to the other almost monstrous robots in the arena, Atom looks like a beaten metal scrap but it’s easy to grow fond of him and every time Atom fights you just can’t help but cross your finger and hope he pulls through.

And oh, can he dance!

It would be awesome if i have a personal robot like him.
 

Mostly i was blown away by the sensational robots and the excellent CGI. I was so caught up with the robot boxing matches that i actually wanted to stand up to cheer and jeer. The sound effects were incredible. Wham! Wham! Wham! So realistic it was that i winced more than once watching the robots tearing up each other.

By the end of the fight my adrenaline was pumping and i was flushed. It was that cool!
 

If you haven’t watched it then you are missing out; perhaps not for the sentimentality of the father and son relationship but for the spectacular metal clanging on metal fights.
