Also, I hated that the ending
implied that since Yolandi was brought back that Ninja would also be brought back to life if he died.
Neill Blomkamp is writing a shitty Alien script as we speak.
Don't even get me started on Chappie's creator...starting a civil war for the sake of having an excuse to use his Metal Gear.
I don't think you realize how passionate people can get when it comes to realizing their vision. Have you have worked for mangers who push a work force towards a goal with every thing they have, even though it's obvious a bad idea? Same thing here.
Yes the movie was exaggerated for the sake of a movie, but I didn't think the motivations were ridiculous.
The ending is crazy. They just gloss over a progression of profound and disturbing alterations on the nature of life and existence. You could make a series of movies based on the final 20 minutes of that film.

Chappie to Dev Patel. "This could be disorientating." Ya Think! You just transferred the consciousness of a man into the chassis of a drone while his former bio body sits riddled with bullets 10 feet away. The man no longer has a penis! "Disorientating" to say the least.
And how is Yolanda going to react when she suddenly wakes up in a machine body, alone in a manufacturing plant with no understanding what has occurred. I think it will go a little something like this.
I'll watch it again to see how it gets so crazy. The movie is willing to firmly step into the strangeness but the action scenes were a let down. I still watch Elysium on HBO because that had awesome fights.
Saw this last night with my girl. It was decent....until it took a nosedive towards the end. Fuckin WOW. I probably have missed something butWhy didn't Chappie rush Deon to a hospital or something? Nevermind the whole bullshit about the extraction and transferring of human consciouness (and the fact that you could fit a human brain into a thumbdrive) but when Chappie kept on blabbering frantically about it AND Deon didn't seem to mind....i don't know. I felt that it would have been a much better ending had it been about an ethical dilemma...Deon protesting NOT to be transferred into a robot body and then struggling to grasp the reality once his conciousness has been transferred.
Just saw the movie.
Who the hell thought it'd be a good idea to take that turn at the end?

Does anything sad happen? To Chappie I mean. Antwoord and Chappie probably getting hurt or something have kept me from watching the movie.
LOL. I'm glad im not the only one who thought of Johnny 5 when I saw Chappie.You leave Short Circuit 3 alone. It was a great sequel.

Movie was fucking terrible. Maybe they should try using actors in the next one
The consciousness shit was so damn stupid.
I was pretty disappointed in this since I had hoped that Elysium was a fluke, but yeah... Neill has skills but he desperately needs a better writer in his life.
Finally watched it last night. Overall, I liked it quite a bit, but the movie is riddled with problems. I liked it because Chappie, Ninja and Yolandee had IMO perfect chemistry, and all the absurdist shit they did just worked beautifully for me. I knew very little about the Antword duo going into the movie except a few of their songs, but IMO their crazy personas worked amazingly well here, giving the movie a trully bizarre art+gangsta+comedic vibe which I enjoyed a lot. Because of this, movie has lots of heart (which was something Elysium missed), and it also just looks flat out amazing visually.
Sadly, the plot of the movie is so terrible that it's unbelievable, and the themes it tries to touch with some seriousness are left woefully unexplored, as if the writer couldn't really understand their implications. One thing that really ticked me off - Who the hell thought it was a good idea to use the neural impulse readout helmet on robot's head? Like, can Blomkamp really be that ignorant to the basic principles of how a device like that is supposed to work, and how physically impossible it would be for it to read the brain impulses from something that doesn't have an organic brain similar to ours?
Then hugh Jackman's character turned out to be what can only be described as pure evil... and why? Throughout the movie he seemed like a pretty normal dude. At least hint that he has some severe psychopatic tendencies if you're going to have him unleash the civil war onto a city just because he's jealous other guy's project got more funding and success than his.
