When one police droid is stolen and given new programming, he acquires the ability to feel and think for himself.

Critics Consensus

Chappie boasts more of the big ideas and visual panache that director Neill Blomkamp has become known for -- and, sadly, more of the narrative shortcomings.

The larger story is positively riddled with plot holes, and any sense of subtlety seems to have fallen right through them.

It's this time-old message of humanity, adapted to fit with today's technologies, that transcends the overpowering, at times clunky, cinematic vessel.

Its oddly jumbled machinery never clicks. The logic of Chappie gradually disintegrates, becoming increasingly farcical.

1/5

Both the film and the robot lack impact, presence, purpose, distinction, and, worst of all, uniqueness.

2/4

Blomkamp’s film contains a concept ripe with possibility, but instead of realizing its full potential, he loses himself in machines and mayhem.

3/10

The concept of creating AI that must learn through observation is one with vast potential, yet it feels considerably restricted within the walls of a derivative action movie.

This transhumanist morality tale is riddled with plot holes. Some interesting and disturbing themes explored but it just seemed a bit uneven and overly ambitious whilst also being strangely dumb. Watched on DVD.

Neil Blomkamp’s Chappie boasts its stunning visuals he never fails to disappoint with a dash of humor, making it an entertaining watch. Although it doesn't quite live up to the hopeful triumph of District 9, it's still a decent watch. Die Antwoord's cameo as themselves brings a welcome burst of humor and randomness that somehow fits perfectly into the narrative. Grading: C+

Not everyone has an imagination. Clearly a bunch of critics with boomer minds. They'd find The cgi lion king better than this. 😵‍💫☠️ This movie was just as great as District 9. This has to do with Chappie & his pov not about a whole general story about AI OR STORY ABOUT HOW YOUR MOM MET YOUR FATHER 🙄
