The original film begins in the near future, 2020, where human boxers have been largely replaced by robots (it's now 2023 - still no fighting robots, either). Charlie Kenton (Jackman), a former boxer himself, travels with his robot Ambush, taking on competitors for prize money. The film opens at a carnival, where Charlie bets money on Ambush beating a bull. Bad call, as Ambush gets destroyed by the beast, prompting Charlie to flee. Soon after, Charlie learns his ex-girlfriend has died, and there is a hearing to decide the fate of Max (Dakota Goyo), their son. At the hearing, Max's aunt and her husband seek full custody of Max, which Charlie will happily agree to for $100,000, with $50,000 paid in advance. They agree on the condition that Charlie keep Max with him for three months as they go away. Charlie takes Max to the gym owned by his old boxing coach's daughter, Bailey (Evangeline Lilly), and uses the advance to buy Noisy Boy, a once-famed robot boxer. He and Max take Noisy Boy to an underground boxing arena, where Noisy Boy is defeated. Max, a robot-boxing and tech wunderkind, comes across a disheveled sparring robot, Atom, as he scavenges for parts. Max convinces Charlie to use Atom in his next fight, which Atom wins.
After a series of victories, Max challenges boxing champion Zeus to a fight. But after being jumped by the carnival owner and his henchmen, Charlie brings Max home, just as Charlie was learning to be a father. After talking with Bailey, Charlie reconciles with Max and brings him to the match he arranged with Zeus. Zeus is powerful, but Atom holds his own. When Atom's voice recognition is damaged, Charlie flips on the robot's "shadowing" feature, allowing Charlie to fight Zeus by proxy, nearly destroying the champion. The decision goes to Zeus, but Atom has endeared itself to a roaring crowd, much like a certain "Italian Stallion" from another boxing film. The future was bright for Atom and the father/son team that believed in it and, eventually, in themselves.
A new alternate reality game for the Real Steel movie launched at PAX last week introduces participants to a world where big personalities in sports are overshadowed by the bigger robots they build to compete. With the movie premiere more than six months away, this game has ample time to flesh out the history of the World Robot Boxing League.
This is a robot boxing game based on the upcoming film, "REAL STEEL". The player assumes the role of an owner of a fighting robot, and must battle against many different rival robots in an attempt to become champion of several levels of fighting tiers. Players earn in-game money by winning matches and, using this money, must periodically improve their robot, making it stronger and more fit to compete in the higher level match tiers. The vast amount of customizable parts and selectable equipment makes for over 100 million possibilities of custom robots! In addition to single-player mode, the game also supports online multiplayer combat, which means players can search for new opponents from all around the world. Take your own personalized robot and aim for the top of the world of robot boxing!
I'd like to reiterate that the most interesting part about this entire production (so far) is that they actually went out and built nineteen eight-foot tall boxing robots for the humans to interact with during close-ups and whatnot. The rest of it's CGI, but happily there some real robots in there somewhere, presumably with parts made out of real steel. Yeah, I went there.
In this real steel game, you need to upgrade and customize your robots to be stronger, faster, and meaner, and color your champion with your own unique style in the Paint shop. Win challenges, exhibit your achievements in the all-new Trophy Room, and showcase your triumphs in 11 huge arenas that will test your mettle and skill.
Hugh Jackman, muscled up in mid-season Wolverine form, plays lovable loser Charlie Kenton, an ex-prizefighter scraping together a living in the unsanctioned dungeons of underground robot boxing. When he teams up with his estranged son Max (Dakota Goyo) after hitting rock bottom, Charlie and his kid scrabble their way up the ranks with a cast-off sparring bot named Atom.
Real Steel: It's a robot boxing movie with feeling. That's the dominant talking point when it comes to this weekend's film release starring Hugh Jackman as a dad in the near future who bonds with his son as the two transform a discarded robot into a championship boxer. As a father myself, says Anthony Breznican at Entertainment Weekly, of a daughter who's equally interested in princesses and robots, a film like this, that doesn't pander to stereotypes and has more to it "than just the spectacle of flying sparks," can't come soon enough. These days, he says, "girls made from sugar, and spice, and everything nice should have a little iron mixed in as well." An excerpt:
"Real Steel" imagines a near future when human boxers have been replaced by robots. Well, why not? Matches between small fighting robot machines are popular enough to be on television, but in "Real Steel," these robots are towering, computer-controlled machines with nimble footwork and instinctive balance. (In the real world, 'bots can be rendered helpless on their backs, like turtles.) It also must be said that in color and design, the robots of "Real Steel" are glamorous and futuristic-retro enough to pose for the cover of Thrilling Wonder Stories.
The movie's story, however, is not from the future but from the past, cobbling together Rocky's rags-to-riches trajectory and countless movies in which estranged fathers and sons find themselves forced together and end up forging a deep bond. Hugh Jackman stars as Charlie Kenton, a former boxer who is now hanging onto the fringes of the fight game as the owner-operator of a ramshackle robot he tours with. It's no match for the competition, and when the desperate Charlie replaces it with another battered veteran, it can't even outfight a real bull.
Even during these early fight scenes, however, it's clear than the movements of the robots are superbly choreographed. My complaint about the battling Transformers of the movies series is that they resemble incomprehensible piles of auto parts thrown at each other. Fast cutting is used to disguise the lack of spatial continuity. "Real Steel," however, slows down the fight action enough so that we can actually perceive it, and the boxing makes sense.
With the release of the recent movie Real Steel, in which hulking metallic boxing robots do battle at the will of Hollywood-heart throb trainers, I got to thinking. We live in a world where progress and advancement are an expectation rather than an aspiration. This applies equally to boxing training which has enlisted the expert services of a range of specialised coaches and indeed specialised fitness techniques. Can the same embracing of advancement be said though of the equipment that we use in boxing?
The third and final main point is that this boxing robot does not strike me (no pun intended) as a piece of equipment that can take the kind of punishment that most boxers want to mete out when using fixed punching equipment. Whilst there is one other piece of boxing equipment that requires the boxer to go for speed and volume of punches rather than power, this equipment being the double-end bag, generally fixed equipment brings with it the unbearable temptation for the boxer to unleash hell. Hell, even a double-end bag can have an all too fleeting existence in a boxing gym, hanging pathetically by a single chord after an over-exuberant uppercut.
It is probably worth pointing out that whilst the guy using this boxing robot throws some fairly decent straight shots, he is at the more novice end of the boxing spectrum and if an experienced fighter squared off against the boxing robot then the potential benefits may be more obvious.
However, in terms of a person training alone, maybe purely for fitness reasons as opposed to fighting, then I think that a boxing robot could very well prove a beneficial addition to the boxing training regime. Even taking into account the limitations of the boxing robot in the video, I can personally see a range of attacking and defensive drills that may be executed. For example:
It's 2024, and one-time boxer Charlie Kenton (Hugh Jackman) has no shame. He owes everyone money, and he abandoned his son, Max (Dakota Goyo), long ago. All he cares about is the next pay-off at the next match he arranges for the two-ton boxing robots that he pieces together from scrap parts. It's a life, if not a fulfilling one. But then his ex-girlfriend dies, leaving his son alone. His ex's sister (Hope Davis) desperately wants to adopt Max, so Charlie sees an opening: Why not make a deal with her husband for $100,000 for signing his parental rights over? But first Max must stay with Charlie until his aunt and uncle return from a European tour. Charlie hopes to leave his son with the daughter of his old coach (Evangeline Lilly), but Max isn't having any of it: He wants to join Charlie on the road. Before they know it, they're training what appears to be a genuine, previous-generation model championship fighter called Atom. But there's more than a bout at stake.
Well, technically Yune's character, Tak Mashido, is the real master of robot boxing in the hit movie "Real Steel," but given the 36-year-old's background in martial arts, it's hard to tell the difference.
Mashido, the villain opposite Hugh Jackman's character, Charlie Kenton, is the pioneer of robot boxing, taking it from the underground and transforming it into a mainstream obsession. Yune, for his part, was an undefeated wrestler growing up in Washington, D.C., and has been practicing Shaolin kung fu since he was 7 years old.
"It's hard to believe, but the truth is when you're in the presence of these robots and they're moving, you think of them as real," Levy continued. "To see [Ambush] kind of destroy himself was a little sad. So we had a 25-minute break and we fixed him right up. And from that moment on, we did not have any mishaps. I'm very, very thrilled with the results of going practical with the effects, which is a rarity increasingly."
