This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I loved Chappie. But then again, I am a scifi robot and AI movie fan. A lot of critics gave static for this movie. I guess they weren't scifi fans. Character arch is rushed but solid. Still considering the moral dilemma what is worse, kill someone's maternal figure or drive a pacifist to hurt someone.… Expand

We came out of the movie raving about it. There are plenty of other movies out there already that have tackled the subject of AI, consciousness, etc, but: this one did it much, much better.

I'm surprised to see such negative reviews, but the best parts of the movie were subtle. This is a movie where paying attention is rewarded immensely, whether it comes to Chappie's animations or the small moments that affect Chappie's character development.

I laughed hard, I teared up, I came away satisfied.… Expand

Seems like 2015 is the year where the credibility of reviewers all over the globe and in all media finally comes to an end!
This is a good movie, maybe not as great as District 9 but very enjoyable.

I am SERIOUSLY baffled by the negative reception from critics! I loved this movie, and I thought it was a very well done analysis of consciousness and self/self-identity. A beautiful coming-of-age film.

What impressed me most about this film was that I didn't feel like I was watching a smart robot come to self awareness, but, rather, I was watching a consciousness come to self realization. Chappie's development in the film was impressively organic. Often robot movies like this one suffer from too many eureka moments and light-bulb-above-the-head cliches: the problem with these cliches, is they don't reflect how living consciousness grows as we experience it in humans (our only reference point). Chappie really feels like a human consciousness, just trying to learn how to live the best he can. Chappie does not feel like a robot learning that he is alive, which is appropriate since, as a consciousness, his "alive-ness" is taken for granted from birth.

The film really moved me, and I was in tears several times. The action was also great, as was ALL the acting. The narrative was, in fact, solid, even if it wasn't revolutionary. It told the story it needed to. Directing was also well done.

I would give this film a 9, but it moved me so much, that I feel I owe it a 10. Can't wait to see it again!

Really underrated. I am confident that in time this movie will be more well liked. This may be a case of expectations ruin the movie? I really don't know.… Expand

I finally got around to watching it though and once I got 30 minutes in I couldn't look away. I cried I laughed I was laying down when I watched it but I literally sat up at the end because I couldn't not.

Very few movies have ever inspired and made me as engaged as this movie did. I can literally count the movies with less than one complete hand.

I was privileged to see such an amazing movie, with amazing characters and to play with a concept that I have always been fascinated by. This movie takes what we know is scientifically possible and makes it a reality before its time. Than it makes you seriously question everything you think you know about philosophy and life itself.

If the makes of this moves, the actors and producers and especially the writers ever read this review.

Sincerely, thank you.
This was one of the rare cinematic experiences I can truly say took my breath away. P.S. thank you for the hope.… Expand

I had high expectations from this movie, since I absolutely love District 9 (same director in case you didn't know) and thought Elysium was very decent as well, but... Chappie exceeded my expectations by far. Such a fantastic film.

A sense of belonging seems to be writer/director/producer Neill Blomkamp’s greatest asset when it comes to filmmaking. The man behind the revered District 9 picks up the pieces of his fumbled second feature film Elysium by introducing us toA sense of belonging seems to be writer/director/producer Neill Blomkamp’s greatest asset when it comes to filmmaking. The man behind the revered District 9 picks up the pieces of his fumbled second feature film Elysium by introducing us to the second cutest robot to ever grace the silver screen, Chappie.

If you are wondering who managed to snatch the first place title of cutest robot to hit the big screen, I would easily argue Wall-E as the clear champion, albeit, animation (as well as Disney) have a fantastic way of bringing out the cute in everything, even a teapot. Luckily for audiences and movie-goers, Chappie is different; Chappie is real: Chappie is alive and Chappie is very much one of the best things to happen to the year 2015 in film.

Blomkamp again introduces us to a world not far off from the one we live in today. Launching his story in his hometown Johannesburg, South Africa, local police are shown to have begun implementing a robotic policing force, known as the Scout program, from a weapons corporation Tetravaal. Its creator, Deon Wilson (Dev Patel), has been successful in creating easily operated and incorruptible weapons for the greater good, but we quickly learn that Deon is in search of something more – artificial intelligence and the creation of the first living, feeling sentinel being.

While Blomkamp’s film relies heavily on action, visual effects, and character development, Chappie can easily be hailed as the director’s most personal, emotional, and sentimental feature film. Never shying away from very real and often times imaginative social commentaries set within uncomfortable and contemporary political setting, Blomkamp wastes no time in introducing Chappie, developing his character as much (if not more) than any other human being seen on screen.

Hot off the heals of a very painful and personal failed program, ex-soldier turned engineered Vincent Moore (Hugh Jackman) is persistent to prove Wilson’s Scout program as a failure, never being able to trust or rely on artificial intelligence. Deeming the program unpredictable, and arguing the ethics of A.I with that of a human being and the morality, ethics and fine fabrics that make man, Moore sets up the film for its greatest and deepest commentary. The very essence of Chappie relies heavily between the conflicts and struggles of two very real people: Deon and Vincent, and how their creations used for the greater good become catalysts to eliminate crime in a violently filled South African capital. Yet, throughout Chappie, the greatest animalistic behaviours and torn examples of violence, inhumanity and injustice/crime are seen by human beings. Moore spends most of the film trying to deceit and ruin Wilson, from nothing more than we can understand as revenge and jealousy, allowing us to pose the questions: would we want this man governing and policing our streets? Are these the beginnings of corruption?

In addition to these scenes of treacherous human behaviour, the realest and most humane scenes of the film are those, almost exclusively, involving Chappie. From a quiet and sad encounter with a dog, to a very confused and apologetic encounter with a bleeding police officer on a bridge during a heist, to his many interactions with his “maker” Deon, Chappie shines with the most unwavering signs of humanity and moral justice.

The underlining context of Blomkamp could easily be observed for many viewings, which makes Chappie, a robot with a bright orange “reject” sticker across his forehead, one of the most brilliant and under-apprecaited films of 2015, deserving of being seen at least twice.

Thankfully, although Chappie may be credited as being the most human character in the film, despite the simple fact that he is indeed a robot, he is not the only interesting individual. Endearing robot aside, Blomkamp’s emotionally rich and deeply subconscious film is filled with fascinating characters. The two roles bound to be the most talked about make up the duo that will determine whether or not people enjoy the film. Of course, the pair is none other than Chappie’s Mommy and Daddy: Ninja and Yolandi (Watkin Tudor Jones and Anri du Toit or, better known as, Ninja and Yo-Landi in the rap/synth South African musical duo Die Antwoord). Quite possibly the biggest reason Chappie may not be a success nor treated as the bravest science fiction film of 2015, is the inclusion of Die Antwoord. As it was for myself once I got wind of the casting choice, their involvement may be a real mystery to viewers. Truthfully, I wasn’t fully able to understand their significance being cast up until the rolling of the end credits, ironically enough, while their song Cookie Thumper! penetrated my ear lobes. Blomkamp, a master filmmaker whose obsession with analyzing and capturing the essence of reality and significance of his hometown upbringing, truly brings a unique commentary about lower class societies and gangster culture.… Expand

This is one of theI've been shocked by reviews before, but I have never been more blown away than by the critical response of Chappie. This movie is damn near perfect. I think it might be the South African sensibility of the whole movie. This is one of the most fundamentally sound films I've seen in a very long time. It's an action-comedy love letter to the musical duo Die Antwoord. I'm a Die Antwoord fan but even if I wasn't I would understand what Blomkamp was trying to do. This was like a modern day Yellow Submarine with more movie than music and Die Antwoord doesn't suck at acting like the Beatles did. Ninja and Yolandi were actually very solid actors for this being their first film. The rest of the cast crushed it because they're all incredibly talented especially Patel. I hear a lot about Jackman's two dimensional villain and how bad it was, but that's what kind of movie this is. It's a serious movie that never takes itself too seriously. I swear to Science that film critics these days are so far up their own a***s that they wouldn't know a good movie if it puked in their face. Chappie is a solid flick and deserves praise. I think Die Antwoord should be praised for how solid they were in this movie.… Expand

Maybe this movie is too hard for the average mind to understand, but if you are truly intelligent and also have knowledge about South African culture, you will understand that this movie is more than brilliant. You require insight to truly watch this movie. Prejudice will only cripple your mind.

Neill Blomkamp has created a unique film, however critics seem to only be looking at it as copying other movies with robots in them. Chappie tackles issues about family and nature vs nurture. He has a creator looking out for him and hoping to nourish his mind with art and poetry while the people with custody over him influence him negatively leading to gangster activities. Another common complaint is that Ninja and Yolandi were horrible actors. I disagree Yolandi had me genuinely interested. She is a very unique person and had a motherly side that I grew to love. Ninja also achieved the his characters point. He abused his son and forced him to conform to his style of life and do what he wanted, rather than allow his son to become who he wanted to be. Another issue that was tackled in this film was spirituality and consciousness. How do we define consciousness? Blomkamp creates a robot that can think. i immediately fell in love with Chappie. His mannerism and outlook on life was extremely interesting to watch. I was emotionally distraught in scenes were Chappie was beaten or mistreated in anyway. This kind of emotional response is what a good movie can create. I understand that the ending may not be for everyone but the way that a Blompkamp takes two characters and ultimately they are one in the same. I actually felt like the robot Chappie was another human inside the shell of a robot and I think that is what Blompkamp was really trying to get across. I believe that this film's major flaw was that it was marketed in two different ways. One was a movie focused on violence and the "oppressive police force" as some descriptions call it, however never once in the film are the Scouts in anyway oppressive. They are simply doing their police work effectively. Another way the movie was marketed was a way that seemed to be trying to appeal to families. I believe some people thought the movie would be something that children would enjoy and then when they found out about the R rating they dropped interested. Among all of the criticism I think people should stop listening to others and see Chappie for themselves and experience a truly entertaining experience.… Expand

Chappie isFrom an Engineer's and Computer Scientist's point of view, Chappie explores the ideas of computer intelligence, robots as tools, the basis of consciousness, human nature, mortality, creation, and many other important themes. Chappie is surrounded by realistic characters that have a desire to create better intelligence and people who fear computer consciousness, people who view machines as lovable and those who view them as merely tools. Chappie must sort through these views and face his own mortality just like any person would, without the over the top action of Transcendence or the muddled physics of time travel from Terminator. I have not only seen these themes examined, sometimes badly, in other pieces of art, but these are themes that real scientists and engineers are exploring with current technology, such as emotional bonding with robots based on vocal and facial cues. I eat this stuff up, and I hope that at the very least it will make everyone think about these themes in a meaningful way. I think much of the negativity toward this film is based on either not understanding the field of artificial intelligence or not identifying with what could be considered a "good" character, but I urge that even if you do not view robots as "human" that you at least consider all sides of the discussion critically.… Expand

I have always felt it important there be a dialog about computers versus society in general. Neill Blomkamp adds a modicum to this complex notion we must face.

Neill Blomkamp adds a modicum to this complex notion we must face. As many science fictions have written about these sorts of things in the past modern day film makers have the tools to present us with their visions. Like a brochure to sway our thinking it's a niche study ongoing. It's not black hole theory but plays on our emotions like some cheap trick. Some psychosis we have for formative adolescence development. I have kids and I bear a responsibility "What have I born upon society?" some kind of Frankenstein notion. But let's have context I think Neill Blomkamp is having fun and he wants us to have fun to. We wish we all had access to Chappies programming but the movie is not interactive. My scope is weakening and maybe the critics would like it that way since that is the reason I'm writing this in the first place. There seems to be a wide discrepency between viewer and critic. And it might just be new movie shock. I am no critic only a person who tries to keep his finger on the pulse of popular notion. This movie rocks.… Expand

The critics are coming off as narrow-minded and superficial. Whether this is due to philosophical bias, or whether this is due to its failure to include "Hollywood's Best and Whitest", it does show a blind spot in their collective ideology.

It's a good movie, no bullsh*t, so do yourself a favor and go see it right now, I'm not lying, it's even better than District 9 and Elysium! 10/10 :)… Expand

Ninja wants desperately for Chappie to be a gangster so he can help him with heists, butSCREW the critics. Seriously, this movie was great. The interactions between Chappie and Die Antwoord alone are reason enough to love this movie. Ninja wants desperately for Chappie to be a gangster so he can help him with heists, but Chappie's mind is that of a child. But Chappie starts to see them as parents and wants to make them proud. This movie is funny and endearing, but at times hard to watch. It kept me on my toes the whole time, but mostly because I thought I had a general idea of how it was going to end (which the actual ending surprised me).

I don't know what these critics were smoking with these reviews, but I'm usually a stickler with my movies but found this one to be great! I would recommend it to any fan of the genre.… Expand

He's a child in a harsh environment and doesn't understand why things are the way they are. He want's to be good but the world around him is against him and others push him to be bad. The action and violence added a whole other dimension to the story. The exploration of consciousness, humanity and how we treat those who are different really had us thinking when the movie was over.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I consider a movie to be a 10 when I do not want to stop watching. Chappie is without equal in my opinion, which makes the critic's negative reviews just mind-blowing. It was fun, entertaining, heartbreaking, hopeful, and surprisingly realistic; pretty much everything you could ever want from a movie. I am certainly not a fan of Die Antwoord, but I feel like their portrayal of the slightly dim-witted, but seasoned Johannesburg gangsters in the near future, was pretty spot on. Yolandi and Ninja step into their roles flawlessly with the former naturally taking on a caretaker role and the latter being the one-track-mind gangster that sees Chappie only as a tool for survival.

The depiction of Chappie as a brand new consciousness in a fully functional, nearly-indestructible body, is as real as it gets from my point of view. The fact that humans and animals alike have to sacrifice all manner of brain power for physical development (and vice versa) makes the way that Blomkamp conceptualized Chappie's development seem much more likely. The movie also did a spectacular job with the most important theme of all, which is the notion of free will. Morality, love, hatred, and other similar ideas do not exist without real choice.

If you have seen 100 other movies this year, Chappie should probably be a solid 7/10 rating and at least in the top 20. If you do not watch movies very often or have no idea what a "Blomkamp" is then this movie should probably warrant at least a 9/10. Throw in Hugh Jackman "the guy from DARPA with a semi-mullet" and Sigourney Weaver "the tough,angry boss-lady who's too smart to give a weaponized robot sentience" and this movie comes out on par or above Elysium, Robocop, or any other movies that at least a dozen critics decided to compare it to.

I simply can’t comprehend this and maybe this is my bias as I work with AI as a data scientist. I found this movie to be absolutely astonishing, and emotionally moving. Their is a philosophical undertone that may go over your head if you take the movie as a face value action movie. But it’s really an incredible movie if you consider the philosophical implications. Yes everything isn’t explained but it was intended to be a sequel. I understand where the director is coming from. I’m deeply saddened that he won’t be doing the trilogy. I think a lot of humans are threaten by the idea that we will be replaced. It’s evident that the attachment to militarism and identity with a body as well as this story about consciousness can kind of impact perspective and feelings. I think the negative reviews are biased and sort of missing the point. I say this while hating most films that aren’t Oscar material or criterion collection. I’m a huge fan of film sometimes a snob. Found this emotionally moving to the point that I made an account just to talk about my perspective as a scientist who works with ai. Brilliant film deeply saddened that it wasn’t received well.

Of course, after watching so many movies, I have a list of favorites that has a special place for Chappie
The first time I saw it in the cinema was when it was released. On that day, I liked the film, but I could not call it "favorite"
After 7 years, I completely forgot this movie and watched it for the "first" time. After watching, I was shocked and with tears of joy, I brought it to the first line of my rating of films
This is all on the assumption that, in all the time, only one movie could make me cry, but those weren't tears of happiness, but Chappie did
I immediately went to look for the second part, but I was shocked when I didn’t find it, but I found information that the first part failed and the second part would not come out ... I had not been so shocked for a very long time. I try not to lose hope and continue to wait for the second part. Maybe in a year, maybe in 2, in 5, but I believe that she will come out… Expand

Even with an almostChappie is one of the most unique and compelling sci-fi movies that I've seen in years. I found it to be an engaging and enjoyable expereience from beginning to end, even if not all of it's elements felt fully realized. Even with an almost two hour running time, writer and director Neill Blomkamp seems to be struggling with getting everything out he wants to say with this film. Because of that some disjointed moments in the narrative occur and there is a slightly rushed feel.

None of that really ruins the movie though. It's title character assures that things stay afloat and highly enjoyable all the way through. Within moments of appearing onscreen "Chappie" will steal your heart. Watching him grow and learn about the cruelty of the world all while trying to find his own place in it while others keep trying to pull him in different directions makes up the majority of the film. It tries to raise some interesting and difficult questions along the way (like why did God make us if we are just going to die), but fails to capitalize on them enough to bring on true thought from the audience.

Luckily though the emotional element is not lost. Chappie is lovable in every way, and as far as I'm concerned, one of the most endearing characters in cinema history. Sharlto Copley's performance as him deserves to be praised. Without him Chappie would not have been able to come to life in the eyes and hearts of the audience.

That's not to say Chappie is the only character worth caring about. The rest of the cast is fantastic at playing their lovably oddball characters. Yolandi Visser in particular stands out as the second best character in the film after Chappie himself. Jackman makes for a fantastic and humorous villain. Watkin Tudor Jones and Jose Pablo Cantillo also deserve to be recognized. Unfortunately Dev Patel feels underutilized despite his character actually creating Chappie (he goes pushed aside for most of the film), and Sigourney Weaver's presence is barely noticed. Still, the cast is fantastic all around and it's hard to not love or enjoy their characters even if some of them are villains.

The film also owes a lot to it's unique style. The stylistic flair Blomkamp puts of display makes for a visually arresting film. Turns out the gangster style and sci-fi genre meld together very well. At least in Blomkamp's hands. The action is also meticulously shot and a thrill to watch.

The film even has a surprising sense of humor to it. It's not afraid to poke fun at it's own style. The goofiness inherent in some moments is excellently capitalized on.

It's pretty obvious while watching that the movie does have some issues. However they don't being the movie down much at all. These flaws that would have sunk a lesser movie are made irrelevant thanks to the creation of one the best characters I've ever witnessed in any movie ever. Chappie saves his own film and makes it one of the best of this year. If you haven't seen it yet, I highly recommend that you do.

I give the movie a near-perfect score of 9.9/10.… Expand

This movie does a great job of not taking it self too seriously with drawn out plot points and extreme overacting. It keeps a fast pace with a healthy mix of comedy, drama, and action.

This movie reminded me that going to the movies should be fun. Ninja and Yolandi were clearly given some creative control over the scenes they were in. Critics may not appreciate their unique approach to the arts, but these two managed to take the creative uniqueness from their music and inject it into acting. It creates a unique atmosphere that really made this movie shine.

This movie wont be winning any awards for drama or action. No, this movie succeeds in a more important aspect. It's entertaining which is something a lot of movies lately have failed at. So grab yourself some popcorn and a drink and have fun.… Expand

IMHO , it's just a SCI-FI fairytale with artificial intelligence and robots, which tells us how hard it is to become a MAN nowadays.

At points, I genuinely felt very afraid for Chappie but equally touched with his, arguably, naive humanity towards other living things. And to those critics who complain about the plot hole or contrivances - I am willing to bet that a few of the so called classics they would put in their personal favourites have their fair few plot holes in them!

Stuff you 'professional' critics, I really enjoyed this one!… Expand

Chappie's action is never ending in this movie and the CGI is incredibly impressive. The story is interesting but questionable at certain times.

The one thing i HATE about this movie is Sony's self-advertising in the movie. around 10 PS4's are shown, all/most computers are their brand and it felt more like a movie where in every instance possible they almost always use their products. That aside, the movie feels like something from the not to distance future of robotics.

The one questionable role was Hugh Jackman, felt like he was mad for no reason. Yeah is own model of a robot wasn't asked to be used but it was just stupid and slow!

Personal opinion: Chappie is an incredible movie and kudos to sony on the CGI, action packed movie with a good story line! but Sony's self advertising made you remember it was a movie. Some instances of the movie felt fake and made you feel like either saying 'WHAT!?' or 'THIS IS SOOOOO COOL!!!. I'm part of the later

This film is very, very good and very much worth your time. Chappie explores; what it means to be human and consciousness, our emotional complexities and behaviours, crime and law enforcement and our ever growing dependence on technology. A lot like Neill Blomkamp's other two films it has a great focus on poverty. This film is trademark Blomkamp, who is very much becoming a filmmaking auteur. If you like District 9 then you'll love Chappie. The robotics in Elysium were no doubt the most intriguing aspect of the film and they have explore them further in this film. Chappie is a thrilling and emotional joyride and excellently made. Superb science fiction.… Expand

Visual effects are awesome,Chappie looks great and really real as possible.I'm not a big fan of the acting but I can roll with it.The running time could have been a little big longer but that doesn't take away from the movie either.Overall just a fun and enjoyable Sci-Fi movie of 2015 that people who love Science Fiction will also love this undeniably.… Expand

A heartwarming R-rated sci-fi action flick about what it really means to be human. That should have been the tagline for this film. I honestly feel that this was a great movie.

I honestly feel that this was a great movie. Every bit as good as any action film made in the last few years, including the Avengers. But I take it for what it is. It isn't supposed to be the next AI. It is meant to be an engaging movie more along the lines of a cross between Robocop and Short Circuit. Too many film critics have compare-it-itis. They want every film to be better than the last. They want deep thought-provoking transcendent films and anything that takes the risk of just being enjoyable gets hammered for it. Chappie is not brilliant but it is a mix of adulthood and childhood and innocence and violence that allows it to stand on its own as an honestly enjoyable film.… Expand

It's hard for me to comprehend the amount of rather medium good feedback on this movie, which I'd still count to one of my favorites. What I like so much about CHAPPIE is that the movie is a take on a precise vision on artificial intelligenceIt's hard for me to comprehend the amount of rather medium good feedback on this movie, which I'd still count to one of my favorites. What I like so much about CHAPPIE is that the movie is a take on a precise vision on artificial intelligence and what massive dangers go along. Maybe my personal interests, hopes and worries are distracting me but what can be seen at this piece of cinematic creation should not just be handled without care, as machines can potentially become a real thread to humans one day, so this movie moral currently seems quite underated. However the philosophy, even the movie itself is interesting and exciting most the time. I dislike the main conflict, as it is nothing new and especially not exciting at all, but for me following the story of an inhuman child was very fascinating. The story has certain points giving you a feeling of unsafety and other where the viewer will be asured for something good to happen soon, as he/she will learn to somehow get in touch with CHAPPIE himself/herself and after being done watching this movie it will stay in your thoughts for a long amount of time, at least that happened to me. The general elaboration is very actionish, basically this film is shootings, violence and some plot in between. Even though I am usually opposed to that themes, it didn't quite disturb me as for CHAPPIE, where the situation of some kind of mental war was enforced to that showing of direct power. Overall I really enjoyed CHAPPIE and I can not say often enough that this movie was to rule my thoughts and still has influence on how I think about robotic technology, as how I see it the backgrounds of the movie are not as groundless as they might think at first and the visual content appears quite dystopic, but yet somewhat plausible and that's what fascinated me the most about that movie, I do really recommend to fans of Science fiction.… Expand

It has a huge heart, and I really enjoyed it. Perhaps my super-low expectations based on the critical reception laid the groundwork for my warming up to it, but I had a huge smile on my face for most of the film. Dev Patel as "The Creator" and Yo-Landi Visser as "Mommy" are both terrific. The action is brilliant, and the direction is solid. This movie is SO much better than Blomkamp's previous film Elysium, which was so bogged down in social politics that it forgot to make a living, breathing, feeling story. One critic suggested that Chappie might have been better suited for cinemas 20 years ago, and I can't disagree. Maybe even 30 years ago - E.T. style. But I greatly enjoyed this in the here and now. Especially given how BAD movies have been lately.… Expand

Instead of being a pure robot action movie, they try to take on the when does something become truly alive. If a mechanical device becomes self aware and has the ability to learn in its own, should it be thought of like a human.

The concept is not be all that new. Everything from Blade Runner to Ghose In The Shell has hit the same basic concepts.

If can except some of the stretches in science used in the movie and do not mind some pacing issues with for the most part predictable characters and story lines, this should be a good movie to watch. It is much better than movies like Lawnmower Man and Transcendence which take on the idea of transferring a soul or mind from one body to another. The acting was good on average. It was nice to see Hugh Jackman take on a bad guy role. It is just to bad it was a very common bad guy role. Sigourney Weaver also delivered a very cliche character. I think both Jackman and Weaver could have been pushed to make their characters more unique.

If you are looking for a mindless action movie, this is not it. If you liked Blade Runner or you love all things SCi-Fi, then this is worth seeing in theaters.… Expand
