Director : Neil Blomkamp
Running Time : 121 mins
Deon Wilson (Patel) works for the company who manufacture police robots, and wants nothing more than to prove that he can create a robot that can learn and be self aware. When he manages to create the drive that will enable his dream to come true, he steals a damaged robot to test it out, but the robot is stolen by a trio of thieves who plan to use the mechanoid they dub Chappie (Copley) in order to pull off a bank heist.
There are two sorts of people; those who think Chappie is a badly acted rip-off of Short Circuit and RoboCop, and those that thought it was harmless fun that gave an important message. I fall into the latter camp, and I really enjoyed the old-school feel of this movie. Just because the acting was bad from some of those involved didn’t ruin the film – if anything it made the characters feel a little more real and gave an extra layer of thought to the story as a whole.
