In Johannesburg, the police department reduced the high rating of criminality using robots from the Tetravaal Company, designed by the engineer Deon Wilson. The former military Vincent Moore is envious of Deon, since he has developed another project called Moose, but neither Tetravaal nor the police department is interested. Deon has just developed an Artificial Intelligence but the Tetravaal's CEO Michelle Bradley asks him to abort the project. Deon decides to bring the damaged Robot 22 that was sent to be crushed to test his A.I. However he is kidnapped by the criminals Ninja, Yo-Landi and Amerika that want him to stop the robot cops. When they see the damaged robot in the van, they force Deon to program it to heist banks with them and they call it Chappie. However, Chappie acts like a child and need to be trained to learn and grow. Meanwhile Vincent follows Deon and plots an evil scheme to activate his robot.
Leave your thoughts about Chappie.
| Examiner.comChris SawinThis is Neill Blomkamp's best film since District 9. Despite this being a film that revolves around robots and artificial intelligence, Chappie is one of the most pure, genuine, and heartfelt films to come along this year. |
| Associated PressJake CoyleIts oddly jumbled machinery never clicks. The logic of Chappie gradually disintegrates, becoming increasingly farcical. |
| FILMINK (Australia)Anthony O'Connor"Chappie, Blomkamp's third film, is a mess. However it's a fascinating, occasionally glorious one that feels, for better or worse, a grimier, more personal movie from the South African director." |
| Metro Times (Detroit, MI)Jeff MeyersWith a sharper, more satirical script, it might have worked. Which is to really say Chappie kind of sucks. |
| Consequence of SoundJustin GerberThere is nothing original and interesting about Chappie. It's a hodgepodge of better science-fiction films from yesteryear whose films have been imitated countless times to no avail. |
| New England Movies WeeklyDaniel M. Kimmel...a welcome addition to the long and rich history of the robot in science fiction films. |
| Assignment XAbbie BernsteinBlomkamp keeps things moving but has plenty of time for grace notes. Most importantly, he makes us care about all of the characters, so that by the end, we're genuinely invested it how it all turns out. |
| Movie BoeufDavid N. Butterworth"Chappie" is one sad motion picture, with Blomkamp's depiction of man's inhumanity to man never more blatant. |
| Paste MagazineAndy CrumpThe robot works, and so, too, does Blomkamp's movie. |
| The VineMatt SheaA film about a machine gaining sentience is going to live or die on selling that central idea, and when it comes to the Turing test, Chappie fails miserably. |
