I finally had a chance to watch this last night. A caffeine hit from a late cup of tea kept me up, so I figured why not? Aside for a few moments here and there, this is definitely a film I've no problems with seeing added to the movie list. It also showed people adapting to the influx of technologies, rather than panicking over them being replaced. A very subtle cultural adaptation element that was absent from "Elysium".

I was curious to know more about this flick and even put in the time to read up on how well this flick did in the box office. For a hundred million in production costs, it pulled in a little over three times its cost at the box office. A smart production if ever there was one.

I never played with rock'em sock'em robots as a kid, but I saw them in the sears catalog enough times as a kid to get the reference @xenopsychologist makes there. Either way, a good movie. Add it to the list.

I'll give this a gander.

There's blue collar and then there's the happy scrappy hollywood bluecollar. Most everything ends terribly in the real world.

if nothing else, i can view it in a new light next time i watch it.

thats certainly a quality to appreciate. non-propaganda movies are few and far between. maybe i can respect it and be amused by its premise at the same time.

that guy that tried to run from gambling debt at the end of the movie might have been lol, but good movie yeah

rock em sock em robots the movie. just cant take it seriously. i just think of the game that inspired the movie and laugh.

It's a movie made so blue collar truck drivers take losing their jobs a little better. (Gonna happen either way) If you think they're going to be designing fight robots afterwards it's all the more laughable.
