It’s a shame that chappie and Elysium didn’t get the love they deserved such good films

I just wonder why did Chappie get such bad critics ! For me it was another twist on ordinary robot movie and it was beautifully done!

Chappie, District 9, and Elysium are easily the 3 best sci-fi movies of the 2012s

Chappie was fun, funny, and at times even a touching film, it deserved a sequel.. 🙂 the director said the door closed on any attempt to a sequel mainly due to the difficulties he had with cast members Ninja and Yolandi from the musical group Die Antwoord both on and off the set.. the duo, I thought, were quite impressive in their roles, but again knowing the controversial reputation the duo have acquired over the years, it's not too hard to imagine there, or they may have been problematic.. 😕

4:13 what is bro on the left hiding behind, the air? 💀

I loved Chappie's character. I cried watching it.

Yea, that guy would not have survived shooting an rpg backed up against a wall and in an inclosed room.

Chappie: for when you need to send Johnny-5 into District 9.

South Africa is more or less like this right now.

this is actually really good fighting like everyone is taking cover and such the humans even fell back after taking loses

I burned my pizza once when I saw chappie in TV. I got so fucused on the mouvie that I realised what was happening when I smelled smoke comming from the kitchen. 9/10 -1 point for nearly burning down my house

chappie has to be one of the few movies that did humanoid robotics nicely, no clunky jittering yet they have the perfect amount of human and machine movement, one thing that i just realized tho is that a heli carrying 4 scouts....would prolly crash lmao, they are armored enough to stop 7.62x39s and get hit by cars so they have to weigh a goo 1.8k-2.2klbs so 4x (1.8) is 7.2k-8.8k

Loved Chappie but that scene when they're rushing to the back of the van like it's a person needing emergency surgery was always funny to me lol

Best South African documentary

Chappie was instrumental for me. Completely changed how I perceived Artificial Intelligence. Everything before had always shown AI to be evil for no real reason. But Chappie showed how Strong AI could be the same as a human baby, but just capable of learning a lot faster and making its own inferences. So after watching Chappie I decided I want to start making AI, so I went to university, got a degree in computer science and started pursuing it from all angles. That was in 2014. 10 years later, I'm now a Data and Automation Architect and every day I build new AI products and models. I was an early designer of many of the original ground-breaking changes; The OPT model, GPT 2.0, LSTM nets, Boltzmann Brains, RNNs and CNNs and all manner of weird and wonderful AI and ML techniques. We're actually not far off this at the moment. There are a lot of challenges on the way but if you think AI like ChatGPT or GPT 4o are it, I'm sorry to say that they're just a piece of the puzzle. We need AI that can create its own motivation.

That's DIE ANTWOORD ain't it? Lol!😂

honestly a great film that I wish got a sequel. also would've loved to see the scouts working with the police more. would've been awesome to see maybe a scout go against chappie at some point in the movie.

(7:41) I love the juxtaposition of the two characters where one has a model of a large military robot on their desk while the other has a more demure humanoid (i.e. "Chappie" type) variant. 😉

I like the movie it a lot, well done

I liked chappie thought it was a good movie

Many years later and would still love to see the story continue

Those droids sounds awfully like Robocop or Peter Weller

Production's really good except that it has a touch of the modern Close Up Disease where too many shots are far too tightly zoomed in and destroy the context of the image and motion. Bunch of places where if the camera was just pulled back to frame properly, it'd be a hundred times better.

It used to be considered Sci-Fi when this movie came out. Now I'm not so sure.

Dont you just love it when one scene completely undermines the previous scene?

Man, imagine a short Cyberpunk 2077 side game where you play as a rogue Militech AI in in combat mech?

Good Film to Watch so Thank You ;

There’s something so fascinating about the South African accent idk what it is

Good Show! 😊

This is such an entertaining movie!

Chappie is amazing!

Now this movie is associated with Optimus Crime meme.

I've always loved Blomkamp's depiction of Robots

Best movie ever

Such a good movie.

chapie was the best for me

District 9 was a masterpiece, chappie was good though

❤ Magnificent ❤

I was shocked when I found out this movie got bad reviews. Like 3 years went by and I thought it was one of the best scifi movies ever only to see it pop up on a list of “worst” movies. Made no sense

Yeah

Neil blomkap is a underated director of best movies

wow

Imagine if they said chappie and the creator were in the same universe 🤯

I Like This

Die antwood in a movie? That’s hilarious

The sad thing is, this could totally happen. Unmanned drones being piloted by real people could translate to First Person Drones that are controlled by people like a first person shooter game. On one hand this could be amazing for search and rescue operations, on the other I could totally see the worlds military overhauling the entire structure to fit in these machines. Of course the ones in Chappie are full AI, and work hand in hand with humans. However, allow a person to take remote control and it'd get really bad fast. Humans in video games have no fear because they'll respawn, pair that with a body that won't bleed out, or in most cases take major damage? It'd be insane. Humans will never trust full AI that are capable of doing what chappie could. But if we figure out how to put a man behind the wheel, this could be a reality. We have FPV Vr, body tracking, hand tracking, and VR stations where we can run in place at full sprint. All that needs to be done is figure out how to translate that into a live feed on an upright standing model. Which if the robot is tracking the humans movements live, then balancing shouldn't be an issue.

CGI were realistic enough

4:15 that guy is NOT taking cover

Chappie Science Fiction Movies

life has divided people into those who were not allowed to earn money even on KZfaq and those who could fill their pockets. Moreover, a robot is almost a person and has the right to take the lives of other people. The first rule of robotics is not to harm humans. Now, if he just arrested people and didn’t shoot at people, it would be very cool.

Just realized something, if theres Scout armed with anti material rifle to destroy fleeing cars, why the van left unharmed?

As bad actors yolandi and Ninja are...they are authentic thought..

The cgi was way too good back then

Liked the film, have the DVD. If you stand back just a tinny bit, Chappie and the other assorted Robot movies are about a sort of chat bot. Sure, most can stand up and walk around, cracking wise, but basically that's it. We got ais on the Webb now, except that they don't 'crack wise,' they are more like HAL in Clarke's movie from the late 60s early 70s --- Space Odyssey 2001?

Why the painted weapons 🤔

4 months ago 😮

Didn't Eminem diss those two from Antwood and they had zero real response to him knowing that they can't rap? lol

Junkrat, the movie

Better special effects than any shite Hollywood movie, since Jurassic Park.

i hear the csgo sfx haha

Nice aphex twin tattoo?

GTA at Johannesburg is real

south african cyberpunk 2077 be like:

Ну да, ну да, выстрелить из гранатомёта у стены в замкнутом пространстве. И у парня даже нет наушников, не говоря про курочку гриль с обнаженным торсом

…we are Boston Scientific

Isaac Asimov would not approve.

Are these guys from "Die Antwoord"?

Why'd they send only 2 human officers to be on the ground? Why was the helicopter flying so close to the combat zone? I have so many questions.

When you cant get the rights to Appleseed

Wonders aloud, “did they get the same idea I had for *Thud-Cyborgs* for these “robots?”

Guess in the future, when a robot is taken down the rest of the police are absolutely worthless and run away. guys barely ever did anything. Anytime they got shot at they hid behind cover and did nothing to fight back, just waiting for the robot to take point. Second the robot got taken down by a RPG they scrammed instead of taking that chance to push in.

Based on this one scene I'm going to see this movie. The fact there was a complex compound of Character Cares driving the criminals in the getaway van combined with the rooting for the selfless, scrappy robot makes for a cinematically intense scene. The fact the combat and weapon systems weren't too bad in believable realism is a great bonus. Nothing seemed cheesy, it was smart, interesting, and IMO well done.

Die Antwoord

Maybe one of the "Chappies" will get morbidly obese, start wearing shoe polish black hair dye and a pony tail, and spend as much time in strip clubs as he does fighting crime! And then, big fat chappie will go to Louisiana and become a sherriff. Then become a Tibetan Lama...

gay as truck nuts

Isn’t the term “droids” copyrighted by Lucasfilm?

Transhumanist propaganda, laid on thick.

i can see why this movie was bookoo bad

I think I'm going to pass on a tourist trip to South Africa.
