Review
There is something about this messy mashup of Robocop, Frankenstein, Short Circuit, A.I.: Artificial Intelligence, and trashed-up wannabe gangster “zef” culture that just works man, against all odds. Even when it doesn’t. Which is often.
Hugh Jackman and Sigourney Weaver are wasted in expositional roles, while Dev Patel‘s brilliant scientist character never really wrestles with the moral dilemmas at hand, but in between all the seamless special effects and action scenes is the misguided, beating heart of a movie that is both confounding and invigorating at the same time.
The Chappie Blu-ray, out June 16, contains a bunch of behind-the-scenes featurettes, an alternate ending, and one unintentionally hilarious extended scene where Chappie snaps Hugh Jackman’s leg in half over a desk. Which is awesome.
PLOT
In the near future, crime is patrolled by a mechanized police force. When one police droid, Chappie, is stolen and given new programming, he becomes the first robot with the ability to think and feel for himself.
