Director: Neill Blomkamp | 2015
Chappie was created as a police robot, but the scientist who developed him wanted to go one step further and see if these robots could experience emotions. However, his bosses don’t approve of this idea, so the scientist has to steal a damaged robot to continue his experiments. Later both he and the robot are kidnapped by small-time gangsters who decide to use the robot to get money and repay their debt to a powerful gang leader. But Chappie, as they named the robot, has a childlike personality and soon bonds with the female member of the small gang, seeing her as his mother. Unfortunately, Chappie received unfavorable reviews from critics for its incoherent story and poorly developed characters.
