The next movie from Neill Blomkamp



d1zYws1Zf6U

has a little bit of Short Circuit in it.

Time Immemorial
Damn that looks good. It's really cool to see Neil and Sharlto Copley have such a great working relationship, makes their films so much better. Sharlto Copley has become an amazing actor and can play such diverse roles.

Esau Cairn
Dunno about this...the "coming of age" theme's so well worn...

Scythe
Neil's movies haven't failed for me yet, lookin' forward to this.

Patient_Leech
There was a trailer for this before Interstellar. Yeah, looks good. It was actually probably the only trailer that looked good (out of 8 trailers mind you).

Esau Cairn
No one remembers Johny 5 from Short Circuit?

Patient_Leech
I remember Short Circuit. Haven't seen it in years, but I remember liking it as a kid. "Johnny 5 no disassemble!!!" Haha

Time Immemorial
I am Chappie!

THIS ****ING MOVIE LOOKS AWESOME

Based of feats and situations from the teaser, he looks like he is going to be pretty bad ass.

Kazenji
Chappie was brought to life by Sharlto Copley & Robot itself was inspired by Briareos from Appleseed

Looks pretty damn good.

Short Circuit re-imagined!

KingD19
Looking forward to this. Still want a District 10 though.

Kazenji
I'd rather see that Alien movie Neill has planned.

Time Immemorial
Can't wait for this movie.

Time Immemorial
Which one of you cheap fcks is going to go see this.

I hope you all do.

Q99
It's out. Thoughts?

Kazenji
I have to wait until next week for it.

Time Immemorial
I am gonna see it tomorrow night.

Kazenji
Been looking at some of the reviews, they say its more style over substance.

dynamix
^^lol i would say that's pretty accurate. But it was a fun movie, i thought. CGI was freakin impressive. the droids movements didn't have the normal jerkiness of a lot of other cgi characters.

BruceSkywalker
i saw chappie today.. didn't care for it.. Hugh Jackman sucked very badly as a villain. the acting was very stale and wooden.. the story could have and should have been better.

Kazenji
If the movie is really that bad or even average, Neill better be on his A game for the new Alien movie.

DARTH POWER
Yeah this movie's pretty bad. Starts off well, and was a good concept for a film, but it just goes off on random tangents. And the ending is way over the top.

So yeah not encouraged that this is the guy making the new Alien movie.

Thought this was a great fun movie. Cheesy, poignant, good action, strange characters. Took a lot from the Guy Pearce movie "Lockout". Lots of homages to Short Circuit, Robocop and others. Highly recommend it.

Nice. We have similar taste and I was hoping this would be a good SciFi.

jaden101
It's good fun. Doesn't take itself seriously. Although that often puts people off as trailers can make them look much more serious than they are. It's certainly less so than District 9 and Elysium. The best example of it is the trio of criminals and the crime lord they owe money to. Completely over the top caricatures.

Tzeentch
Really? mmm

I'm actually more inclined to scope it out if it's tongue-in-cheek. The melodramatic nature of the trailers was a turn-off.

Esau Cairn
Apparently Jackman's "Aussie" accent is cringe-worthy.
I'll never understand why Hollywood stereo-types Australians as stuck in the '80s.

Tzeentch
Hugh Jackman is Australian, though.

Like, he was born and raised in Sydney. no expression

Kazenji
Your missing the point Esau is trying to make, Hollywood is still living in the 80's when it comes to anything Australian.

Tzeentch
I haven't seen the movie yet. Are you talking about like the slang he uses, or?

I don't want chappie I want a district 10

It's not really tongue-in-cheek. It has many comedic moments with CHAPPIE but the plot seems to take itself seriously.

I just thought it failed. Not fun-comedic like Short Circuit and not dark like Robocop. But mixed and matched those tones which just didn't work for me.

Actually what didn't work for me is the compete tangent they took the plot in.

rudester
I saw it yesterday...i liked it.

Yeah...in an interview, Jackman said he had to google "Australian Slang" & most of it were outdated & cringe-worthy to say.

Slang like, "Dead dingo's donger" - dry
"Drink with the flies"- drink alone
"Fair suck of the sav."- disbelief
"Kangaroos loose in the top paddock."- dumb, slow witted

Kazenji
Good movie

i don't get the hate this movie is getting

I thought it was a great movie, watching Chappie get beat on by those kids and Hugh Jackman was super shitty to watch tho

Kazenji
The movie got censored for Japan, Gave it a PG-12 rating similar to the American PG-13 rating

Yes you do, Hugh Jackman (Australia's No. 1 son) said it.

quanchi112
This was a solid film.

Patient_Leech
Did not care for this. Some of the worst acting I've seen in a while.

Loved the Hugh Jackman mullet, though.. laughing
