If you got your nerd game on point then obviously you know all about Neill Blomkamp cinematic hits like District 9 and Elysium. But what you’ve gotta see is Chappie. The 2015 hit coming-of-age tale with a remarkable twist spotlights a robot being raised by gangsters. The film itself did well and more than doubled its budget of $49 million. It was another successful feather in the film making cap of Blomkamp as a writer and director. The film is a bad-ass fun watch with crazy characters and insane action. Chappie is well worth anyone’s time to check out.

The film did very well at the time in the box office and has met the test of time with a current Rotten Tomatoes score of 86%. This is rather impressive for a movie that even according to Michael Crichton had the audience laughing at the wrong times. The movie doesn’t stand up to the two successful seasons of the HBO show, but it remains very watchable for its own reasons.
