Time Out LondonTom HuddlestonMar 5, 2015
This hugely entertaining oddity could never be mistaken for the work of any other filmmaker. Read full review

San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleMar 5, 2015
It’s a good sci-fi action movie, too. Far be it from me to give this movie the kiss of death by making it seem too serious for its core audience. Chappie is everything it has to be — but it’s everything it should be, too. Read full review

The PlaylistDrew TaylorMar 4, 2015
Between the charming Copley performance, the ingenious visuals, the absolutely incredible all-electronic Hans Zimmer score (seriously, this is one of his best ever), and the propulsive narrative thrust (Blomkamp is rarely singled out for how swiftly he moves things along, plot holes be damned), there is a lot to appreciate and even love about Chappie.

Boston GlobeTom RussoMar 5, 2015
Chappie boasts so many entertaining elements, particularly the lead motion-capture performance by Blomkamp’s go-to guy Sharlto Copley, its shortcomings don’t sink the movie. Read full review

USA TodayClaudia PuigMar 5, 2015
Chappie is meant to inspire questions about what it means to be human, and at times it does. However, director and co-writer Neill Blomkamp doesn't explore its intriguing premise deeply enough. Read full review
