Review of Chappie (2015) by Luke H — 03 Jul 2015

Chappie is cool.

So I just finished watching Chappie and It was awesome.

Let me just start by saying when this movie was announced I was stoked to see it, Then the following trailers got me even more excited, but before actually watching it because I was impatient to see it. I watched and read a couple of reviews about the film online, which actually kind of killed my excitement for the movie, lets just say they weren't too positive. So going into this film I wasn't expecting much but I was pleasantly surprised.

The CGI in this movie is amazing Chappie does 100% feel like a human character (yes I know he is a robot) but I genuinely felt for his character, you want him to succeed. The direction of the film is great the cinematography of the film is brilliant and honestly puts you in the city the events are taking place in.

The only negative I felt in the film is the casting of Chappies Mom and Dad. At times they were tedious and could be aggravating but as the story moves on you do feel for the characters and the annoyance of them does fade away. 3 amazing actors support all this. Who are all great in this film even tho...I think Dev Patel could have been in the film a little more.

All together this film is well worth a watch. Don't listen to the negative reviews.
