Chappie - Mar 6th (1 Viewer)

[kupcho1]

New film from Neill Blomkamp (District 9)

In the near future, crime is patrolled by an oppressive mechanized police force. When one police droid, Chappie, is stolen and given new programming, he becomes the first robot with the ability to think and feel for himself.

I'm in.

That crazya33 South African guy from District 9 and Elysium is obviously the voice of Chappie, looking forward to this.

I can't think of a less original plot line.

Watch Taken 3, and let me know if you think it "borrowed" from The Fugitive even a little bit.

Up next - in the future dinosaurs are real. A Tyrannosaurus rex escapes from a dinosaur park and attacks NYC.

His films are great. How could Die antwoord ruin the movie by themselves?

Elysium was horrible. I enjoyed District 9 though. So he's 1 out of 2 for me... this is the rubber match.

I completely enjoy Die Antwoord for performance art- some of the songs are pretty great too as part of the videos. Dunno- I don't see them pulling off legitimate "acting". But I'm happy to be wrong on them, and I know I'll see this eventually

What was wrong with Elysium that you think it so much worsebthan District 9?

 

[Swing 51]

District 9 was way better than Elysium, which I didn't think was terrible. Maybe a bit cheesey. Agree that Blomkamp appears to be a pretty good director. I'll see it eventually.

I've seen the trailer for Chappie twice and I thought both times it was Robocop reimagined. But isn't there a Robocop remake coming?

Robocop already came

That already has been released. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RoboCop_(2014_film)

I am in for Chappie.

Can't wait for the Pharell Williams theme song though

thematically way too heavy-handed and obvious, especially after District 9 was already heavy-handed and obvious. mis-cast (foster especially), poorly written dialogue, too many plot holes/devices.

eta: and lacking the sense of humor that made District 9 more worthwhile. this was humorless bleh.

 

[urbanhack]

this will be great if you are baked out of your mind.

I liked it despite the fact that Blomkamp stole my plot.

District 9, elysium, and chappie are all the same movie. This director has some great range I tell ya

For those that don't know, chappie is British slang for a friend.

One of the robots being used to oppress the people becomes sentient. Stupid, I don't think so.

You know who had great range? Philip K ****...what is reality and government conspiracies, he could really do it all.

Does Matt Damon make any other kind of movie any more?

 

[Hilts]

I'll take a repetitive story told well over a unique pile of trash any day. No idea if this will be done well, but the fact it's not a particularly unique story line isn't something I'll hold against it.

At least he casts Sharlto Copley in most of his movies.

 

[MC Gas Money]

I dont think neil blumpkin likes authority

 

[cstu]

thematically way too heavy-handed and obvious,

This is true, but I wouldn't call Elysium a bad movie. Jodie Foster hurt the movie more than Damon, IMO.

You didnt like her terrible accent?

 

[cstu]

I liked the symbolism of Elysium - the U.S./west being Elysium and 3rd world countries being Earth, but a little subtlety and nuance would have been appreciated. Blomkamp is turning out to be a left wing version of Heinlein.

Watch Taken 3, and let me know if you think it "borrowed" from The Fugitive even a little bit.

Stolen from Reddit:

Taken 3 makes Taken 2 look like Taken
