		Ex-fighter Charlie Kenton (Hugh Jackman) makes an unlikely comeback when he and his estranged 11-year-old son, Max (Dakota Goyo), team up to build and train a 2000 pound robot to become a champion boxer. This "little robot that could" story will keep viewers on their edge of their seats, cheering on the father/son team. The robots themselves are pretty awe-inspiring, but it's the appealing Max who makes the movie work so well. Part "Rocky," part "Transformers," this heavy metal tearjerker packs a surprising emotional punch.


	This movie is intended for older children.


	This movie is intended for older children.


	Kids will be fascinated by the size and strength of the robots, and will enjoy watching Max train his scrapyard steel, but much of the movie may not keep their interest. They won't care about the love story between Charlie and a gym owner (Evangeline Lilly) or about the aunt who's determined to gain custody of Max after his mother's death.


	Max's enthusiasm and determination are infectious, and older kids will be empowered by what he is able to accomplish by sheer will. Although they'll realize that, even in a high-tech world, humanity still reigns, tweens will want to find out where they can see robot boxing in person!

		The combo pack comes with both Blu-ray and DVD versions of the movie. The DVD includes bloopers and segments about "The Making of Metal Valley" and "Building the Bots." The Blu-ray adds deleted and extended scenes, segments about Sugar Ray Leonard and Charlie Kenton, and a "Second Screen" feature which allows viewers to simultaneously explore interactive content on their computer or iPad with director Shawn Levy.
