Crowded plot and mixed thinking

Compared with the movie "Her", "Super Power Chappie" has greater ambitions. In less than two hours, it will show the whole picture of the post-human era, hoping to highlight the truth, beauty and false ugliness of human nature. Robot Chappie's environment, but the end result is a fragmented story, a drawn-out plot, and a masked character of the main characters. A good subject was ruined.

The reason why it is a good theme is that this story can fully show the difference between the two generations of machine times. Chappie was originally just an unconscious robot code-named 22, but with the efforts of its "maker", it evolved to A robot that can learn and evolve, this change is enough to support the entire plot, but under the director's somewhat confusing plot arrangement, this change is downplayed.

The last part of the film made me feel terrified. The scientist who was the creator of Chappie eventually became a robot, and lived in seclusion with Chappie and Chappie's "mother" in a corner of Johannesburg. This may be a metaphor for the end of the human era. But this atmosphere is still ruined by the songs at the back of the film.

    A hodgepodge of sci-fi films, the style and look of B-level sci-fi films, the plot and setting are similar to "District 9" + "Elysium" + comedy version of "Robocop" series (spoofing the old trilogy and the 2014 version) + Low-profile version of "Ghost in the Shell" + low-level version of "Neuromancer", tribute to "Seaman", tribute to Bruce Lee, subversion of traditional sci-fi routines (Asimov's coffin board can't hold back), hip-hop culture, openness One of the most offbeat sci-fi films ever made.

    1. The transfer of consciousness and the succession of the carrier make the final duel look smooth and vivid, and it is no longer necessary to bear the law of "the protagonist's halo"; 2. Chappie's setting is quite contradictory, and I don't understand it for a while" Asleep", after a while, the intelligence has become a god; 3. The whole viewing is quite smooth.
