Solid Futuristic Sports Film.

I'll admit, when I saw the trailer to this film, it looked like a cheesy Rock-em Sock-em Robots rip-off. Instead, it's a gritty and triumphant coming of age story, set against a futuristic boxing league. Of course, the film doesn't deviate much from the standard sports movie moments, but the futuristic setting is a unique change and, like so many films it emulates, it still manages to tug on the heartstrings at the right moments. Plus that robotic dance entry was so awesome.
