Chappie robo-struts into theatres this weekend tempting audiences with an edgier take on the familiar science fiction fantasy of a man-made droid who can learn to think and feel like a human.
Directed by District 9's Neill Blomkamp (and co-written by his Canadian wife Terri Tatchell), Chappie is set in the not-too-distant Johannesburg, where crime is controlled by an oppressive mechanized police force — pumped from factories owned by a ruthless businesswoman played by Alien's Sigourney Weaver.
But when one of the droids, later named Chappie, becomes damaged, Slumdog Millionaire's Dev Patel reprograms it with Artificial Intelligence and Chappie quickly becomes one of the most compassionate characters of the story.
Hugh Jackman plays an antagonistic engineer (with an amazing mullet) who wants to build bigger meaner robots instead.
For a creature made of microchips and moodswings Chappie is "a little too human," says CBC's film critic.
"Chappie's all-to-human emotions strain believability," says Eli Glasner, "and it stretches the realistic aesthetic that Blomkamp is aiming for."
The result: Chappie is "just not as smart as it seems."
Chappie goes into wide release Friday.
