Chappie
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.

The film jumps from its lowest point during the virus subplot to its highest during the climactic MOOSE battle, gaining 2.4 points as critics found the action finale far more engaging than the middle act plotting.
Critics were divided on Chappie, with strong praise for the visual effects and Sharlto Copley's performance, but significant criticism of Die Antwoord's casting and tonal inconsistencies. The film starts solid, dips during plot-heavy middle sections, then recovers strongly in its emotional and action-packed finale. Most reviewers acknowledged the film's heart despite its flaws.
