Today the Shawn Levy film Real Steel busts out onto DVD.
Real Steel staring Hugh Jackman and Evangeline Lilly (Kate from LOST), is set in the not too distant future, where boxing with humans has become passé and the world now turns to watching robots beat the oily snot out of each other.
Jackman’s character is a down on his luck, former boxer who is trying to make a buck and pay off his gambling debts by fighting ‘bots in underground fights and state fair bull rings. While he is trying to do this, his former girlfriend dies, leaving him with an estranged son.
The movie is actually just rock ‘em sock ‘em robots with Wolverine and that kid from Phantom Menace (though much less annoying and a way better dancer).
Over all the movie is a fun flick and worth checking out, though it was a little to “auto-tuned” for my taste, (in other words, the makers were trying too hard to be cool). I will say that the heart-warming father/son storyline and the excellent acting, makes it a great movie to bring home for the kids.
The DVD and Blu-Ray comes with special features like bloopers and deleted scenes and would be the perfect “guys night in” flick.
Real Steel is rated PG-13 for some violence, intense action and brief language.
