Real Steel Movie Review

Real Steel is a movie from 2011 which speaks to future time when human boxers have been replaced by robots.  Charlie Kenton is an ex-boxer played by Hugh Jackman, who is making a living as a hustler when the movie opens.  Charlie has spent every penny he ever had, buying robots and fighting
them for cash.  His priorities in life change somewhat when he is forced to take on custody of his son, Max, who he previously abandoned after his birth.  Charlie is an ex-boxer with all the moves in the ring and technique, but he is a degenerate gambler with terrible luck.  His luck changes when
Max finds an old beat-up generation 2 robot(apparently the current generation is gen 5), Adam, that Charlie subsequently teaches to box.  The trio work  their way up through the ranks of fighting robots and are given the chance to fight the world champion robot, Zeus.  Zeus jumps into the air, springing over the ropes, and falls like lightening into the ring to make a grand entrance[Isaiah 14:12].

Here's where it gets interesting...
-Adam takes beatings that no other robot can take, could it be that he is made with "Real Steel", and the others aren't?  Like we haven't had real steel in 3 generations...remember the beating 
Jesus took for us that was so bad, that his own mother couldn't recognize him.
-Adam being second generation(a robot following voice commands from a human) is defeated by, a robot that learns on its own;  in the bible Jesus is called the second Adam [1 Corinthians 15:45-47], so in a way the message being portrayed is that Christ will lose to Zeus(Satan).
-About halfway through the movie I noticed that Adam had an upside down Cross on his face (he wears a mask)....awkward
-Tran-humanism is spouted again as Charlie combines with Adam in the 5th round(checkout my article on the 5th age) when Adam can no longer accept voice commands.  This hints at the time when the testimony of Jesus Christ will be quieted in the land [Zechariah 6:8]. 

I could say more, but what's important is that you accept Jesus Christ today as your Lord: even today while you can still hear him!

Pacific Rim: In The Bible

Pacific Rim is a $190 million sci-fi tale about earth’s heroes(in mythology the heroes were the children of the gods/nephilim) battling against skyscraper-size alien monsters that enter our world through a rift on the ocean floor.  These aliens resemble dinosaurs and all share a collective consciousness [Revelaiton 17:13], which makes battling them difficult because they learn from each encounter.  The movie follows a long list of movies with the same premise: it’s the apocalypse stupid, why didn’t you know about it!!  Movies like, Oblivion, Escape From Planet Earth, Now You See Me, After Earth, The World’s End, This Is The End, The Purge, World War Z, Elysium, Rapture Palooza, etc…

So here’s where it gets interesting…
In Mythology, the Titans were greek gods born from a union of earth and sky, which alludes to the Nephilim of the bible [Genesis 6:4], angels that came down and mated with women and produced children.  In Pacific Rim, the Titans are used to fight an invading army. (Remember that idea)... 

There are several groups/countries represented in the movie, and are controlling different Titans.  Russia, China, Japan, and the United States are the last countries represented by Titans.  In the end, the Titans represented by Russia and China are defeated in battle the rest is up to interpretation. 

Idris Elba is a well known leading man in movies, and plays a major role in the Pacific Rim, but if I may: if you haven’t seen him in the TV Show Luther, then you have missed some of his great performances.  So back to the premise of the film; the governments of the world have created giant robots called Titans, which are piloted by two humans that mind-meld in order to interface with and control these massive robots.  So once again the idea of transhumanism [Daniel 2:43]is coupled with fighting the apocalypse as seen in Oblivion, Enders Game, After Earth, Elysium, and don’t forget Wolverine.  There is a scene in the movie where Idris Elba says, “We’re cancelling the apocalypse today.”  That is to say that we men believe that we can fight the apocalypse and prevent it.    In Revelation Chapter 16 it talks about men being deceived into trying to fight against the armies of God [Revelation 16:13-16].  These men are tricked into believing that they can stop the apocalypse which coincides with a major earthquake, which causes rifts all over the earth.  Sound familiar? 

There is a lot more that I could say, but it would be over-kill and pointless if you don’t get it by now!
