Real Steel Now On DVD/Blu-Ray January 24th!

The popular movie, Real Steel, starring Hugh Jackman will be available for purchase on Blu-Ray and DVD on January 24th with prices ranging from $44.99 for the 3-Disc Blu-Ray combo to $29.99 for the digital version.  It is 127 minutes long and tells the story of a boxer set in the future.  An excellent family movie, Charlie is in debt and has no desire to take care of a boy he left behind, but when he makes an offer with the Uncle, he decides to take him for three months while they are away.  That's where they eventually learn to work together and start making a name for themselves in robot boxing with Atom, who you can't help but root for.  Here is a synopsis:

Enter the not-so-distant future where boxing has gone high tech--2000 pound, 8-foot-tall steel robots have taken over the ring.  Starring Hugh Jackman as Charlie Kenton, a washed up fighter turned small time promoter, it's a riveting, white knuckle action ride that will leave you cheering.

When Charlie hits rock bottom, he reluctantly teams up with his estranged son Max (Dakota Goyo) to build and train a championship contender.  As the stakes in the thrill-packed arena are raised, Charlie and Max, against all odds, get one last shot at a comeback.

The bonus features include deleted and extended scenes, countdown to the Fight:  The Charlie Kenton Story, interactive content for your iPad or computer, Sugar Ray Leonard:  Cornerman's Champ, bloopers, audio commentary, Making of Metal Valley and Building the Bots.  I enjoyed the bloopers of course and watching the deleted scenes the best.  Charlie isn't a very good character at the beginning but eventually comes around and redeems himself.

Plenty of action and also emotional scenes, it has something for everyone in the family!  You can find more information on the website at www.steelgetsreal.com, or on Twitter and Facebook.  You can also watch videos on YouTube.  FYI:  Get $5 off the purchase of the 3-Disc Combo set by going to www.steelgetsreal.com and click on the offer at the upper right corner of the page.  This savings ends on 1/29/12, so hurry!
