Are heroes born or made? How does one go about finding one's true destiny? Dr. Tenma (Nicolas Cage), a revered scientist on the floating paradise known as Metro City, has recently created a technologically advanced robot in the image of his late son Toby in an effort to assuage his overwhelming grief. Far from an average robot, his creation (Freddie Highmore) is a thinking, feeling robot endowed with the memories and emotions of the real Toby and powered by a unique blue core energy recently discovered by Dr. Tenma's good friend Dr. Elefun (Bill Nighy). Despite his efforts, Dr. Tenma quickly discovers that his new creation will never replace his human son, and he coldly casts him aside. Being a thinking, feeling robot, the robot boy sets off in search of a place where he might fit in, and his journey lands him below Metro City, on the surface of the wasteland known as Earth, where he is befriended first by a trio of rebellious robots who dub him Astro Boy and later by a group of human orphans led by the robot repairman Dr. Hamegg (Nathan Lane). Although Astro Boy fully intends to confess his robotic origins to the humans, circumstances prevent the disclosure, and his first real friendships are tainted by the underlying deception. Meanwhile, back in Metro City, President Stone (Donald Sutherland) launches a campaign to destroy Astro Boy in an effort to steal the blue core energy and use it with its opposing and very unstable red core energy to guarantee his reelection. In the end, Astro Boy's real ancestry comes to light, and his relationships with the humans and his very existence are threatened. It also falls to Astro Boy to save Metro City from certain destruction at the hands of President Stone. Based on the 1950s Japanese manga and the 1960s Astro Boy Japanese animated television series commonly credited as the first anime cartoon, Astro Boy is an engaging, action-packed film about self-discovery and pursuing one's destiny. While there's a healthy amount of violence and peril in the film, it's generally appropriate for ages 7 and older. --Tami Horiuchi

5 out of 5 stars dvd   August 23, 2010

0 out of 1 found this review helpful

I ordered 2 dvd's for my grandson and when I got the conformation that my items had been shipped that same day my daughter called and said he got his 2 movies. Now I just don't think you could ask for quicker shipping. The movies arrived in great shape, cases and dvd. Very happy with my purchase. I would recommend this seller. Thank you I would buy from you again.


5 out of 5 stars Good Movie +My Kids Love It   August 4, 2010
Scott Asher
I rented this movie for family night and once it was over I was overwhelmed with calls for us to watch it again. In fact, I had to order it on disc from NetFlix because my son (4) wanted to watch it again and again. That's about as high a praise as I can give!

A fun movie, with well done animation and voices kept us, aged mid-thirties down to four, enthralled through the who film. Highly recommended family fare.




5 out of 5 stars Awesome   August 2, 2010
Anthony Ortiz (Clifton, NJ)
I am not going to go through an in depth review of this movie as it has been reviewed enough times, but I am going to urge you to buy this film without hesitation and enjoy it with your family. Titles such as this should be supported with your dollar. Stellar CGI, stellar voice acting, and 100% stellar storyline.

I thought the voices were miscast but the story was probably better than the original Astroboy.
