******* awesome trailer, guys check it out @spass @TobinFrost @steel888 @earthscope @kron @chunk @MGD @Hatori @mlmaier84 @NoDingsNoScratches @Marina Blue @Marco86 @Bluprint @XXHAPPY GILMORE

Thanks harry.. I'd never heard of this. . Just watched the trailer.. made me sad.. think I'll cry when I watch this in the cinema lol.. can't wait to see all of these great movies coming up this year

 

[steel888]

Is it me, or does this movie's story/theme remind anyone else of Short Circuit, from back in the day?

Johnny 5 is alive...as Chappie!

 

[C.C. 95]

Yeah, a modern Johhny 5 all Homey-ed out with bling, and taught to be 'street' by White South African Rappers Die Antwoord... This sounds like a freakin' trainwreck to me.
And, really...
Doesn't Blomkamp know that you should NEVER use a title that can altered with ONE letter to disparage your film??!!!

New Poster

 

[Flloydo]

Can't wait for this. And Im looking forward to seeing die antwoord in a film. Love ninja and yolandi

If this is not the image for the steelbook I will cry

 

[ripclaw]

I guess Neil Blomkamp must've been a fan of Chappie bubblegum. As a kid, I loved 'em as well.

 

[Flloydo]

New clip and I have to say it does look funny.
"Heist is a crimes" his voice sounds awesome.
Sorry it on a empire link

[vurt]

I think this looks like it will be really good! Can't wait to check it out!!

 

[blackbird81]

The whole concept is quite interesting and Blomkamp certainly knows what he's doing with his own sci-fi vision. So, I won't be surprised if this ends up being a mega hit.

I just hope this is better than Elysium.

 

[UpsetSmiley]

I didn't like District 9 or Elysium but this looks awesome!

It's like a homage to Short Circuit.

 

[TheStixter]

Is this Wall-E grown up? Is this a Transformer? Or is it a Terminator? I'm confused... lol

 

[Wreck]

Im gonna go watch this in IMAX .... maybe later today.

 

[Lukesablade]

I went to see this yesterday and thought it was brilliant,a mix between robocop and short circuit with a few unique twists.

A rough opening at the box office for Chappie. I continuously laugh at how everyone b*tches and moans about Hollywood only creating sequels/remakes/reboots, but then when an original film comes along, it receives zero support (eg. this, Seventh Son and Jupiter Ascending all tanked at the box office this year).

 

[Flloydo]

@tridon ive not seen this yet but despite all the negative reviews (mostly on here) Im still really looking forward to seeing this. Can't wait

I wouldn't call Chappie original, far from it, it steals from Short Circuit, Robocop, Wall-E, Appleseed, District 9, Elysium.

That's not to say the film is terrible (its not rated very highly though), I don't like Blomkamp borrowing from everyone else, even his own films !

He's even released artwork for Alien 5 with Sigourney Weavers face encased in a weird alien head, except that's from the TV show Farscape ie Scorpius ! - he sure likes to be influenced...

I watch it last night, and i really like it
