Dispite all my friends telling me how terrible it would be, the little 5 year old me kept yelling, "nuh-uh!" And now that I have seen it little me screams, "robots are awesome!" And me now says, "Did I just watch Rocky with friggin' robots?!" Cause that's what it was, but without the thing that makes Rocky a fantastic story of triumph. The human factor. A down and out former decent boxer turned robot boxing failure has to overcome being a loser to win his son, and take a sparing bot to the top. The acting is fine. Hugh Jackman plays the degenerate dad who uses his son to feed his robot habit. He is good, rough, and entertaining nothing to complain about. Dakota Goyo is the son who digs up the robot and invest himself in it's success. He is also fine plays a tough kid who swears and dances with robots. The special effect may be like some other recent movies that work really well on the big screen, but fall short when you bring it home. Only time will tell, but in IMAX was a treat with its visuals and sound. The true short coming is the sad attempt at making it a story of triumph. The financial journey was the struggle. I would catch myself getting caught up in the fights then i would realize. THEY ARE ROBOTS! No one is hurt. You just fight til it breaks. But it was fun for what it was. Average to Good if you see it in IMAX.
