I guess it’s a sign that things aren’t going well with Blomkamp’s career when your 3rd film has a “from the makers of…” his 1st film. Still, the Alien franchise holds promise. Action and gritty sci-fi realism are his strong suits, Alien doesn’t leave much room for moralizing, hope it works out because it seems like a good marriage.

At this point I’d say Copley is one of the worst major actors in the world. Just unbearable in Elysium (although Jodie Foster was even worse) and Old Boy. I won’t see Chappie primarily because he’s in it.

Agree completely–this thing was watchable, but still an illogical, near train-wreck and mishmash of tones. Almost no characters in this movie do anything because it makes any sense, but simply because it propels the plot along.

Cool! I do love Robocop so maybe I’ll reconsider again. Thanks for giving some counterarguments!

I have to disagree- I really enjoyed this film and think its a shame if this movie gets a bad rep. Was kinda skeptical because of all the prior hype, (and the name of the film really bugged me for some reason), but after watching it in a packed theater last night I really enjoyed the design, and pace of the film. Much better than the recent Jupiter Rising! Not to be taken too seriously, just a fun sci fi story

It was really well-made movie with an awesome Hans Zimmer score. You will probably be interested if you liked Short Circuit and Robocop. It takes those influences up a notch and has a really interesting way of telling the story that I think really is pretty epic. Don’t see many awesome sic-fi movies like this anymore. The sound was great. Good one to see at the theater if you’re into sound.

Sure! It’s just that I thought District 9 was just OK, Elysium was kind of bad, so I wasn’t that interested from the start and this review is not helping. Then I would rather spend the $15 (normal ticket price in Sweden) on something I’m interested in.

It’s well worth seeing at the tester. Make up your own mind.

Might not bother with watching this in the cinema now.
Great review!

He committed. That thread ran its course and then we got the huge revelation that Chappie can forgive that man for killing his mother. It shows how far he came in such little time. It was stunning. I can’t remember another movie like this.

If it’s meant to be disturbing, he really could have amped up the violence to make a point. Instead he doesn’t commit.

What can I say, people like a little mystery.
