Robot Boxing for the Future

Battling Robot Boxers
It was the post-boxing era where human boxing no longer found any appeal as a sports.

There was more excitement in robot-boxing and " Real Steel" action starts at the fair-grounds where the protagonist Charlie Kenton (Hugh Jackman) loses his robot to a bull and henceforth his life spiraled downwards losing custody of his son, Max to his sister.

Charlie and the Final Fifth Round
For Charlie, life after professional boxing has been mundane though he still lives in a gymnasium with his live-in lover, Bailey Tallet (Evangeline Lily) and collected plenty of IOUs to make life worth the living.

However, this all changed when his son come back into his life for a short period and the advent of a diminutive sparring  robot which they found at a scrap-yard  called Atom.

Max and Atom
The fights between Atom and his advance into the big leagues is really worth the money especially with the ring action particularly against the Twin Tower robot and Zeus.

Good movie.
