I had no idea what I was going to watch except for the fact that it would be some kind of inspirational movie inspired by true events. Well, by the time I was done watching it, I had tears in my eyes, smile at my face and a prayer in my heart! This movie shows what a true attitude can do for oneself. Talent and money isn't everything. If one believes that one is putting one's heart and soul in a project, God will take care of the rest. The acting is flawless and every character has done a remarkable job in keeping the viewer engaged for the entire length of the movie. A soulful, family movie in these times is very rare and this is one of such gems!! I recommend everyone of you to watch it and experience God's way of enlightenment.

PS: Had I known basics of Robotics, I would have rated it 10 on 10!

I saw this movie back in a 8th grade math class. I admit I only watched it because it had George Lopez but it was surprising entertaining. But this movie did have it's moments and was nice nice to know that it was based on an actual time. Although it does get a little slow in the 2nd quarter but it had some nice cheesy-ish humor.

The movie is based on a true story about the undocumented high school students from Arizona, who participate in underwater robotics competition and compete against top universities in the Nation. With limited budget, but with creative minds and a desire to win, they manage to build a decent robot and manage to impress the judges with their presentation. I am a robotics coach and I took my robotics team to watch this film. Definitely a must-watch especially if you are a coach, teacher, student , or parent. The students also enjoyed it a lot and got inspired. The movie also has very good soundtracks and has funny scenes.

Great movie with an inspirational story of going up against the odds and pulling through with ingenuity, persistence and vision. This story would resonate deeply for anyone who came to the US with nothing but their dreams. The story and lesson here about gratitude may soften those that have taken their freedom a bit for granted. (Just my opinion) In short, moving story with an ongoing issue that may allow for hardliners to just soften up a bit. Can't say to much else without giving away more. you'll have to see it for yourself. These young actors did a very good job in portraying their situations. George's performance here doesn't disappoint. I thought he only did well in comedic roles, but this one certainly puts him out there to show he can act, bringing you into his role forgetting he is a comedian. Malisa and Jamie also do very well with this one. Looks like everyone had a great time doing this film and brought us (The viewers) along for the ride of this great story.

I love movies about science.

This was a very cool underdog story, similar to underdog stories found in sports movies, but this time, the sport is a science competition in which four Hispanic high schoolers dare to dream big by entering a robotics competition on a college level, and they end up surprising themselves most of all.

Based on a true story, when it comes to the competition itself the filmmakers got to keep it real. Their win was not perfect, but for me that's what made this the perfect underdogs become Victorious movie.

And for being his first semi-dramatic role, Gorge Lopez was the funniest I've ever seen in a picture. His name came first as the biggest star (despite having Jamie Lee Curtis and Marisa Tomei as his costars), but he was the supporting actor, cheering on these four boys as they achieve greatness beyond what their environment thought they could.

It's good to see and uplifting film, even better when it's about reality
