Chappie Movie Reviews ...
"Don't let critics reviews put you off."
Don't let the critics who can't seem to get past comparing Chappie with other sci-fi titles put you off of going to see this film.
This story is about a lot more than just robot police officers it is a thought provoking social commentary on many modern day issues and what it is like to bring life into the modern world.
I very much enjoyed District 9 but I would even go as far to say I enjoyed Chappie much, much more.
There were so many aspects to this film that could have went wrong but have been nailed on the head by the director. The effect once again visually striking and a very well paced and intricate development of characters as well as interesting set design helps keep chappie fresh and not just another reboot of any other sci fi film as critics will have you believe.
I would also say I enjoyed this film much, much more than the likes of robo-cop.
