Expected more

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

We saw an advanced screening on Sept 22. I thought it was going to be another one of those cheesy, campy, not really believable, warm fuzzy, type of underdog/rags to riches movies. I was actually surprised. It had some great plot twists, it had a real storyline. And while yes, there is some language sprinkled throughout, it did make a good family movie for older kids, 10+ (my opinion). The ending wasn't quite what I was expecting, but looking back I think I liked it better for that. Who wants an ending they can see coming to the entire movie?It had some great comedy moments. The relationships between the actors felt genuine and not overdone or forced. The robot animatronics was good. The robots themselves were fun and imaginative and definitely made me wish we really had this sport. I would so be there!

I really did enjoy this family oriented Hugh Jackman movie. Of course it's for anyone, but a father and son might be the best audience for this, that is if the father and son both like this type of movie (action). Hugh Jackman does a really great job with his role as the father of Dakota Goyo. At first he isn't really much of a father, but as the movie progresses he learns how to be a better and more existent one. I also really loved Dakota Goyo's performance as his son, his performance is very impressive for him being at such a young age at the time and it's very tough/ballsy. He's not afraid to stand up to his father and to tell his father, in a kind of harsh language, the truth. The chemistry and the father- son dynamic between the two of them felt very natural and it seemed to be very real. And it's absolutely crucial that that seems natural and genuine in the movie since a large portion of the film focuses on that. The visual effects are very well done and the film was well deserving of that Academy Award nomination. I really enjoyed watching this movie because it's so well written and well acted and the visual effects are so well done. If you have kids of an appropriate age, then I suggest watching it with them because it's really heartwarming at times, it's not just all action and fighting, there's a large part that focuses on the father-son dynamic and how they care for one another after a not so great relationship in the past. 8/10.
