Author Topic: Real Steel (2011) Connor Wilson Expert Film Handler Posts: 190 From: Sterling, VA, USA Registered: Jan 2011 posted 10-08-2011 09:44 PM                     CINEMA: Cobb Village 12, Leesburg, VA AUDITORIUM: 8 PRESENTATION: 2K D-Cinema, D-Box PROBLEMS: None. RATING: Seven out of ten. This is my second time experiencing D-Box (first being HP7p2 at this location), and I must say the motion code was better mixed than Potter! I was also curious if this auditorium played the film in 7.1, because I remember hearing an effect on both the supposedly the rear right and back right channels. THE PLOT: Capitalism. Wackiness ensues. For one of those films that won't make its "Executive Producer: Steven Spielberg" credit the movie better, it was actually decent and fun. Popcorn cinema, too bad it was all gone during the climax. Take the kids. It's finally a relief that a big Hollywood movie these days isn't released in 3D, regardless of how the film was shot.  |  IP: Logged Michael Gonzalez Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 790 From: Grand Island , NE USA Registered: Sep 2000 posted 10-09-2011 11:33 AM                     Rock Em Sock Em Robots seemed to be everyone's first reaction upon viewing the trailer, but for me, the story at least, looked to be more of a remake of Sly Stallone's "Over the Top". BTW Bull Hurley is still the greatest movie villain of all time.  |  IP: Logged Jonathan Goeldner Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1360 From: Washington, District of Columbia Registered: Jun 2008 posted 10-09-2011 09:31 PM                     I personally really hate the trailer - but surprisingly it's been receiving pretty positive reviews.  |  IP: Logged Jonathan Goeldner Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1360 From: Washington, District of Columbia Registered: Jun 2008 posted 10-27-2011 10:48 AM                     and I had two hours to kill yesterday and decided to check it out - not great but nonetheless quite entertaining - the Barco DLP presentation looked gorgeous and the 5.1 audio kicked butt - 6 bucks well worth spent.  |  IP: Logged
