Ambush is a low-rent circuit bot. The best fight that Charlie can arrange for Ambush is literally against a piece of livestock.

Atom may not be in the biggest or the flashiest bot in the ring, but he is the most extraordinary. He is the "hero" robot.

Colored in gold and red, Midas sports a mohawk. He's a brawler. He follows no rules. He'll use whatever means necessary to win a fight.

Noisy Boy is a former league bot. When he started losing fights, he was exiled to doing boxing exhibitions in South America and Asia. He's now back, but he's no longer league caliber, so he's fighting in underworld venues.

With a block-shaped upper body, Twin Cities is a vicious two-headed robot!

Zeus is the champ of the WRB. He is enormous. He is described as "The Death Star." He is painted reflected black. He has piston-programmed punch mechanisms in his arms. Not only has Zeus never been beaten, but also, no other robot has even survived beyond the first round with him.

The day the package arrived we sat down as a family to watch the David and Goliath-like battles unfold right in our own living room. The heartwarming story of the father/son duo Charlie and Max Kenton and their friends, fighting bots Ambush and Atom.  I never thought I could like a movie about fighting robots but the script writing, cinematography and acting are so well done that you begin to believe the bots are human.

This is not a “perfect” family movie. It is rated PG-13 for violence, intense action and language. I wouldn’t let the little ones watch this movie IMHO.

On January 24th, DreamWorks Studios releases REAL STEEL on Blu-ray Hi-Def and DVD! Set in the not-so-distant future where boxing has gone high-tech and 2000-pound steel robots have taken over the ring, this heart-warming story of a winning father-son team film stars Hugh Jackman, Evangeline Lilly, Kevin Durand, and Anthony Mackie. Bonus material includes behind-the-scenes features revealing the magic behind the sets and characters, Bloopers, and more!

The bonus features are great too. We really enjoyed the “Making of Metal Alley” and we can’t wait to watch with the director’s commentary. Here is a clip of the bonus features.

I recommend this movie for families with kids ages 11+. Head to the store and pick up a copy of REAL STEEL when it hits shelves on January 24th.
