I liked it! The storyline is weak, but IMAX Experience is definitely good. I think it is more suitable for kids, or adults if you still have a dream to be done....

Great Father n Son Movie...

by djaykonnex

If you watched the Sylvester Stallon Movie, "Over The Top". Then you will get the same story... Deadbeat father bonds with his son he never met. It's like "Transformers" without the special effects...

IMAX was worth it!

Took 3 boys ages 9-11, and they loved it! The IMAX experience was well worth it... one of the boys said it felt like he was actually in it (the movie) because the seats were shaking everytime a robot...

The movie is corny enough to remind you that boxing rings are square. Read full review

If you can get past the ridiculousness of the setup - easy to do, because the posters make it clear this isn't a Woody Allen movie - it's pretty much impossible not to have fun. Read full review
