Like they said he's effectively a child, he may be able to tell you how something works in moments but he doesn't know why people are doing things, and as he is trying to figure out what to do with his newly minted existence these gangsters are leading him astray. I really enjoyed watching what was practically an abusive relationship between him and ninja play out, with chappie being too innocent and naive to understand why he needs to get out of it.(06-19-2015, 05:37 AM)Surge Wrote: It's just eerily well engineered to appeal to almost all of my specific sci-fi loves. The only thing it was missing was space related stuff. I don't expect anyone to ever enjoy chappie as much as I did but oh my god that was like the movie I never knew I needed.
I already usually enjoy the visuals of Neil Blomkampf's films but plot wise this couldn't have been more relevant to my interests.
I just thought it dealt with the subject matter was dealt with in the most bland, predictable way possible (stuff anyone who says Chappie was 'thought provoking'). Die Antwoord is a bad actor, and so much of the movie was spent following him I feel like it was almost more about him than, y'know, the actual robot.
I dunno, it's not terrible and it's still worth watching but I didn't really walk away thinking it was praise-worthy.
Also I have no idea who die antwood is, presumably either ninja or yolandi, but imo they played their parts well enough, one is the kind of nutcase who gets into (semi-)organized crime and the other is there to complete the "street brother and sister" dynamic as the relatively level headed one.
