Should you see this movie,? Yes, only if you've seen District 9 or Elysium or if you like urban futuristic and robotic warfare.
76.7 C.
Watching it I wanted to like it, then I hated it. Why? In my opinion it's rough watching a child (or in this case the whole premise of the movie dealing with a new born Artificially Intelligent robot) born into a world filled with crime and violence. The worst part,? His parents are criminals and teach him his first lessons in crime.
Not cool on that end.. The "Maker" Actor Dev Patel (who is a solid actor from HBO's series the Newsroom is great). He teaches "Chappie" what's right and wrong in his new borns life. Completely underutilized as an actor in this movie, but you finally get to see him take over the father figure role to Chappie.
The special effects are outstanding, you feel for Chappie, his emotions and what he goes through, but it doesn't save this movie, even with a decent performance by the villain Robot creator Hugh Jackman.
However, it is worth watching once.. Especially to see the possibility of AI and robotic ideas for our future. The story takes a complete and compelling good natured and AI abstract turn in the last part of the movie, great finish.. but not a great movie.
Wait and see on Cable. C
