Few days ago, I was searching for a good horror/thriller movie in Wikipedia and I suddenly found out that there will be an “Astro Boy” film this year. I remember this character when I was a kid, its not my favorite cartoon but I admit I also watched this kind of cartoon before. Haha. Astro Boy is based on a Japanese manga series and television program way back in 1960s. It was also the first Japanese television series aired in Japan and later became familiarized as anime.
PLOT:
Set in futuristic Metro City, Astro Boy (Freddie Highmore) is about a young robot with incredible powers created by a brilliant scientist named Tenma (Nicolas Cage). Powered by positive “blue” energy, Astro Boy is endowed with super strength, x-ray vision, unbelievable speed and the ability to fly.Embarking on a journey in search of acceptance, Astro Boy encounters many other colorful characters along the way. Through his adventures, he learns the joys and emotions of being human, and gains the strength to embrace his destiny. Ultimately learning his friends and family are in danger, Astro Boy marshals his awesome super powers and returns to Metro City in a valiant effort to save everything he cares about and to understand what it takes to be a hero. — Official Website of AstroBoy movie
