Astro Boy
Set in futuristic Metro City, Astro Boy is about a young robot with incredible powers created by a brilliant scientist in the image of the son he has lost. Unable to fulfill the grieving man's expectations, our hero embarks on a journey in search of acceptance, experiencing betrayal and a netherworld of robot gladiators, before he returns to save Metro City and reconcile with the father who had rejected him.

I'm an old school fan from watching the original cartoons way back in the early '60s so I was glad Astro was getting a more modern reboot. It looks great but the story leaves a lot to be desired. Basically, they complicated a decent premise to attempt to modernize the cartoon. Didn't need it. Worth watching but I much preferred the new Speed Racer reboot to this to be honest.
