But Real Steel doesn't use its actors like a crutch. They're given a genuinely heartwarming story that does fit the standard family drama formula, but in a way that's comforting.

The world of Real Steel has taken that notion to the next level. "Where this movie goes ... it's people's desire for spectacle, unhindered by the frailty of the human body, has given rise to this sport,” Levy explained. “We're building machines so we can pay our money and watch them completely wail on each other." Speaking of which, Real Steel feels like the much-needed antithesis of Marvel’s Cinematic Universe, now stuffed to the breaking point with capes and cowls. The MCU now contains nearly three dozen individual superheroes all vying for screen time, not to mention the brain space fans are expected to devote to all the narrative threads unspooling over 23 movies. It’s enough to make you wish Thanos really did wipe out half of that interconnected universe. Schwarzbaum, Lisa (October 13, 2011). " Real Steel (2011)". Entertainment Weekly. Archived from the original on March 17, 2014 . Retrieved April 20, 2020. In the near future when people become uninterested in boxing and similar sports, a new sport is created - Robot boxing wherein robots battle each other while being controlled by someone. Charlie Kenton, a former boxer who's trying to make it in the new sport, not only doesn't do well, he is very deeply in the red. When he learns that his ex, mother of his son Max, dies, he goes to figure out what to do with him. His ex's sister wants to take him in but Charlie has first say in the matter. Charlie asks her husband for money so he can buy a new Robot in exchange for turning Max over to them. He takes Max for the summer. And Max improves his control of his robot. But when the robot is destroyed, they go to a scrap yard to get parts. Max finds an old generation robot named Atom and restores him. Max wants Atom to fight but Charlie tells him he won't last a round. However, Atom wins. And it isn't long before Atom is getting major bouts. Max gets Charlie to teach Atom how to fight, and the father and son bond strenghtens. — [email protected] Weintraub, Steve (January 14, 2022). " 'Real Steel' TV Series In Development at Disney+".

Retrieved January 13, 2022.After his last bot becomes trashed, Charlie takes Max to the junkyard to scour parts to try and fix up one of the old bots. After a dangerous fall, Max finds a buried robot, but Charlie doesn't see the potential. Charlie says that he'll consider it if Max digs it up, so Max stays through the night to recover the bot. After getting it to the gym, they reboot it and find out it has a rare Shadow Function, but that is the only piece of value Charlie sees, while Max sees an amazing machine. The bot was "Generation II, barely", and it was built as a sparring bot for higher-class bots. It was designed to take a heavy beating, and mimic moves of other bots to help train the fighters, but was never designed to fight itself. After failing to get a loan from an old friend, Max finally convinces Charlie to give the robot a shot in a fight. He stays up all night teaching it basic, inexperienced fighting moves with the shadow function. He even develops a sort of a friendship with the robot, who he discovered while cleaning the bot off that it's name is Atom. Release Schedule". Box Office Mojo.

Puig, Claudia (October 7, 2011). " 'Real Steel' robots do battle with movie cliches". USA Today. Archived from the original on October 13, 2011 . Retrieved October 12, 2011. Not based on any pre-existing mega property, comic book, graphic novel, or toy line, Real Steel’s original screenplay is instead loosely based on Steel, a cynical 1956 short story by I Am Legend’s Richard Matheson. After the legendary Rod Serling, Matheson is responsible for writing the most episodes of the original The Twilight Zone TV series than any other writer.Rather than mainstream industrial robots designed to replace humans in monotonous, labour-intensive or hazardous tasks, developing a futuristic robot with cutting-edge features – akin to Boston Dynamics’ agile humanoid robot Atlas – had been a dream and vision for Geng and his colleagues, he told the Post.

Real Steel’s biggest attraction are its jaw-dropping robot prizefighters with vivid names like Noisy Boy, Ambush, Metro, Midas, Twin Cities, and Zeus. Executive producer Steven Spielberg urged Levy to build real robots for the feature and the results are nothing less than impressive. DiOrio, Carl (December 9, 2009). "Touchstone sets 'Real Steel' release for 2011". The Hollywood Reporter. Archived from the original on July 26, 2015 . Retrieved July 19, 2015. Real Steel takes this classic sci-fi premise and combines it with the best tropes of the other genres it takes from. It's a boxing movie, so there are training montages, high stakes bets, and evil rivals. However, it's also a family movie, with Charlie forced to temporarily take care of his estranged 11-year-old son, Max. On top of both of those, the film throws in sci-fi user interfaces, robots, and technology. Zeus is the leading champion, undefeated in robot boxing. In fact, it's remained on the top by annihilating each and every opponent. No opposing bot has even lasted two whole rounds with Zeus. This champion bot was constructed by the champion bot maker, the once retired creator Tak Mashido who built the Generation I champion Noisy Boy. It was commissioned by a rich Russian Oligarch Lemkova & his daughter Farra Lemkova, to be the best fighter out there, and using a new program that analyzes fighting patterns in other bots and overrides them, it's the best there is.

Archived from the original on September 14, 2011 . Retrieved September 14, 2011. . Abstract only: "Filming has concluded here on 'Real Steel,' 'Transformers 3,' 'Scream 4' and many other productions that made metro Detroit and nearby regions seem like Hollywood Midwest for the past few months". Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times rated the film 3 stars out of 4, saying, " Real Steel is a real movie. It has characters, it matters who they are, it makes sense of its action, it has a compelling plot. Sometimes you go into a movie with low expectations and are pleasantly surprised." [46] Lisa Schwarzbaum of Entertainment Weekly gave the film an A−, saying director Levy "makes good use of his specialized skill in blending people and computer-made imaginary things into one lively, emotionally satisfying story". [47] Nearly a decade after its release, Real Steel remains an antidote to overburdened superhero sagas and depressing dystopian nightmares of chosen ones discovering their destinies. It’s set in a world much like our own, (the year 2020) and the production designers were smart to keep it grounded by limiting technological differences to cooler cell phones and robot gladiators.
