Every child comes into the world full of promise, and none more so than Chappie: he is gifted, special, a prodigy. Like any child, Chappie will come under the influence of his surroundings—some good, some bad—and he will rely on his heart and soul to find his way in the world and become his own man. But there's one thing that makes Chappie different from any one else: he is a robot.

Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
One of those incongruous Franken-films that's simultaneously bombastically brutal and treacly.

rotten:
This is a well-meaning film with a good idea that unfortunately stumbles on its way to its less-than-satisfying end.
– Bill Zwecker,

rotten:
There's material in Chappie for a worthwhile motion picture but too little is explored by Blomkamp to make this worth a trip to a theater.

rotten:
While the visual effects are spectacularly seamless, they're in the service of a movie which devolves from vaguely funny to just-plain silly to numbingly gory.

The principal charm of the film arises from Chappie's ears, which prick up and droop like those of a titanium rabbit.
