Well this film shows the ethics usage of AI is wrong: briefly; basically in this futuristic world, but let's be honest with one another, if we're not careful it will be our future; where this robot creator Deon Wilson [Dev Patel:] he is a worker/programmer for Tetravaal and against the wishes of the company he gives Number22/Chappie [Voiced by: Sharlto Copley:] he is a broken down police robot that has a limited life span, that has now been given the program of essentially eventually independent thought, starting from infancy and on top of that emotions and feelings so in essence he becomes a sentence being, so this is his story.

Generally speaking: storyline/script and character developments; this entire section/entire film has aged like milk; it really has based on the concept of where we are now with AI and even back then of 2015 with this movie this entire script very crassly shows why AI by and large is a bad idea and yes I have seen better film like Bicentennial Man 1999 movie starring Robin Williams as Andrew Martin: that in a nutshell goes from being android over many years and then being human, but in this case with Chappie; as soon as he understands and becomes for all intents and purposes cognitively aware he is a being, consequently the ageing process becomes a factor meaning; if he believes he is a sentient being experiencing fear, hatred and anger, consequently child abuse, torture, dismemberment and everything else becomes a massive problem; because it opens the door to rights and privileges as well as a being and not forgetting that including being set on fire, because we as humans learn to deal with things such as emotions over many years in short called growing, but in this film we are expecting a machine to grow up in such a small amount of time around people that want to screw its head up and yes I am including his maker and the ones that want to harm him.

This is such an ugly and uncomfortable film to watch, where this mechanical being essentially shows us that AI, should never and I repeat never get to this level of understanding including but not limited to also including the great debate about abortions where for me especially people in the US need to get their head around this; abortions are to get rid of cells in the body and up to a certain point there is no life, you may be thinking what does that have to do with this film? Now if you are not brain cells to understand in theory we are talking about Chappie/potentially a unwanted baby being essentially screwed up by a vast majority of people that should be protected and nurtured from the world he finds himself in, and for those that have the simplistic mind of abortion are wrong? Are you going to specifically help with raising a child that isn't yours and do that every time a child is born... No!... Then shut the hell up! Or are you going to allow a child to be born to two drug addicts to be abused which on top of that is more than likely going to have medical issues due to their parents drug addicts?... No, then again shut the hell up! With possibly the child in question having medical issues with having quite possibly a miserable life due to probably being a vegetable.

By the way just for the record; to keep this crystal clear; I am pro-choice on this subject matter, but back to this movie as you can read already this film isn't a pleasant watch to say at the very least, the framework and pacing of this 120 minutes film is in a strange turn of events very much irrelevant, because you have all this subject matter going on or being unravelled, that consequently everything just feel really agonisingly slow and torturous

Art, character developments and action; 22/Chappie is an excellent design, but also on the other hand [this is not the only time I will make a reference like this;] as soon as you make him have traits of human, his pain and suffering regardless if he is a mechanical robot in his character developments, he is still a much child so in theory it becomes child abuse... so well done you ignorant mother fudgers, so obviously and consequently I have no interest in these generic action sequences; to be broadly honest I have someone got fired for green lighting this film, usually I would clarify myself by saying, it is never a good for someone to lose their job, but in this rare occasion I am not going to be so polite, for all I care they can join the unemployment line with this.

Character developments, performances and voice performances; minus everything I have already said about the character developments and what is left is the generic poor excuse for character developments and likewise performances, the only one that in my opinion can walk away from the project/dumpster fire with their head held high is Sharlto Copley voice of: Number 22/Chappie, he by far gives this lead character a three-dimensional being which is excellent for him, but I do realise on the other hand it also opens the door to everything else that we have been discussing in this content, which I am not criticising Copley for that, I am quite clearly just pointing out it just drills home slightly a bit more than what it already does with a very disgusting and likewise uncomfortable impact.

This film receives: 1/10, this film is poor; as I have made it abundantly clear by now, I despise this film with a passion and furthermore I am absolutely delighted that the sequel and any future project/projects were scrapped. This film also has some awards accredited to its name such as 3 Nominees World Soundtrack Awards 2015 World Soundtrack Award Film Composer of the Year Hans Zimmer Shared with: Interstellar, Visual Effects Society Awards 2016 VES Award Outstanding Animated Performance in a Photoreal Feature Earl Fast Chris Harvey Mark Wendell Robert Bourgeault Chappie and Behind the Voice Actors Awards 2016 BTVA Feature Film Voice Acting Award Best Male Lead Vocal Performance in a Feature Film Sharlto Copley As the voice of "Chappie".
