Chappie (2015)
Directed &
co-written by Neill Blomkamp this film stars Sharlto Copley, Dev
Patel, Ninja, Yolandi Visser and Hugh Jackman. In South Africa a
police robot is given an experimental AI and raised by a criminal
gang.
At times both the plot
and characters of this film are a bit too simplistic, with the script
never really delving into the deeper sci-fi or human themes. Where
the script does work is in the charm of it's title character and his
growth giving a small window into how some are raised into a life of
crime in South Africa. The special effects are decent and so are the
performances but it feels like the script needs another draft or two
despite having some charm to it.
3/5
