Its oddly jumbled machinery never clicks. The logic of Chappie gradually disintegrates, becoming increasingly farcical. December 14, 2015 | Full Review…

The principal charm of the film arises from Chappie's ears, which prick up and droop like those of a titanium rabbit. March 15, 2015 | Full Review…

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. March 10, 2015 | Rating: 1.5/4 | Full Review…

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. March 7, 2015 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

Chappie needs one and all to leave practicality, a desire for authentic social statements, and distaste for over-the-top story and character at home. If you can't do that, stay home yourself. August 5, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…
