Chappie (Trailer #2) Review
FIRST TRAILER REVIEW OF 2015! I wasn’t really into the first trailer because it seemed to show pretty generic stuff for a first trailer and am a bit sore from Elysium (So disappointing) so I didn’t review it. Also no time. This I liked though, the idea of AI is fascinating and it’s always a good sci fi concept. The idea of replacing police with robots is giving me very vivid RoboCop flash backs. But I’ll wait and see. Enjoy the review and please tell me your initial reactions to this new trailer, more so if you disagree.
“I am consciousness. I am alive. I am Chappie”

My Score: A-
Release date: 6th March 2015
Plot:
After being kidnapped by two criminals during birth, Chappie becomes the adopted son in a strange and dysfunctional family. Chappie is preternaturally gifted, one of a kind, a prodigy. He also happens to be a robot.

What I liked
#4. HE-MAN Chappie!
This and the moment he gets a book for the first time seem like a really fun scene. Very child like in his reactions. Love seeing that kind of development in an AI. It learns like a child would.

#3. Like a Dog Out a Car Window
Chappie has a great design to show emotion without facial expressions. The eyes and ears show everything you need to know about what’s going on in his head. Ears will prop up when he’s curious or happy.

#2. Here Comes trouble
Chappie and his adoptive family going out for war? Or robbing something? Don’t know the description is a little confusing and the trailer doesn’t explain a great deal. Still looks fun. The one on the left looks like she’s straight out of an 80’s sci fi film.

#1. GO CHAPPIE!
Yeah you show that ED-209 knock off what a real robot can do. Not got a lot to say but I have a strong feeling that something in this film will make me cry. Not sure what but maybe his creature dying.

What I Didn’t Like
#1. ED-209!
That robot is so much like the ED-209 it could cause a lawsuit. If I had the copyright to the Robocop franchise Blomkamp would be getting a call. SERIOUSLY LOOK AT IT!

New Poster
Well that’s my views. Now what do you think about this newest trailer?

This one looks so fun! Lol, I was not a fan of District 9, and avoided Elysium because I was afraid it looked like it would be heading in the same general direction, but this one I *have* to check out – mainly for Chappie, but secondly because Die Antwoord is in this movie. XD If you’ve never heard them, they’re really *really* an acquired taste, lol. In the ‘Here Comes Trouble’ picture you showed, they’re the two people on the left.

Yo Tim! I wasn’t too enthused about it the first time I saw it, but then when I saw the trailer on the big screen I was a bit more intrigued. I love District-9 but Elysium disappointed me, so hopefully this would be more like Blomkamp’s first film.

Blomkamp’s got it in him so we’ll just have to hope for now 😀

See, I actually really liked Elysium, so Neill Blomkamp hasn’t made a bad film yet in my eyes. It is also rumoured that his fourth film could feature a certain Xenomorph.

You mean those things he tweeted? Doubt he’s making an alien film. Doubt anyone is to be fair.
Glad you liked the trailer and Blomkamp’s work 😀
Favourite part of the trailer?

The first trailer made it look intimate and smart. This second trailer feels derivative. The Robocop vibe is clear and the story sounds as generic as they come. Number 5 is alive, thirty years later. Short Circuit part 3.

Hmm okay so your opposite to me. Although yeah Robocop vibes all over, hopefully just a trailer vibe as the main story is very different than robocop. Still I hope we both like the film one way or another 😀

I wasn’t a big fan of either trailer. It just looks . . . weird, from the robot, to the flow of the film, to even the actors and the story. I’m curious, but not too curious.

Well maybe its just not for you. There are plenty of films I see and just think nah, from nothing more than the look. If it gets stellar reviews and everybody raves then see it 😀

This looks like something my grandsons would go to see with me. They are die hard science fiction fans and one of them is actually learning about robotics in school.
