Chappie

this is one of my favorite movies of all time! Die Antwrood is the best and they do such a wonderful job in this movie. great story, i sure wish the creator would make a part 2 with Yolandi as a robot, it would be so good.

Great movie, even with younger family members.

Good entertainment and lots of great work on the androids and their military programming. The ability of Chappie to learn from his environment should have been the focus versus learning a hoodlum's code of ethics. Chappie's violence overshadowed his infantile, but advanced brain functions. He learned about advanced electronics, but nothing about morality. Chappie should have stood alone in the world of wonder, but he became too embroiled in the personal dramas of his creator and his captors, which distracted from the whole concept of artificial intelligence. The back story about the "Moose" was completely unneeded and offers mere gratuitous violence. Having a single company control an android enhanced police department is not a new concept. RoboCop nailed that one back in the 80's. Also, robots with authority to take human life is too far reaching since you cannot punish the robot for the needless pain and suffering of its victims. At most, detaining or incapacitating an assailant should have been the role of the droids. Non lethal is the only plausible or acceptable concept when it devolves to man vs. machine. The final flaw was the "God" like intelligence created on a home computer. That was too much to ignore. Compiling terabytes of code takes more than a few hours and at no point during this "binge" coding was there ever any testing of loops for what might be construed as a form of intelligence. Most of those scenes should have been edited out since they added nothing to the storyline. Segurney's role was well played, but her history of a tough sci-fi actress should have kept her stronger at the end. In all of her previous sci-fi movies, she never caves in to some dubious plot of her executive team. That was bothersome. In all, the movie was great entertainment worth watching again with slightly lowered expectations on the technical side. Recommend it for non-techies, but not for anyone seeking to explore religion and creation.

This is another remarkable science fiction movie written and directed by South African filmmaker Neill Blomkamp. Best known for making "District 9", Blomkamp presents us with a vision of the future in which robots have replaced much of a human police force in an effort to stop rampant crime. They provide the technological "muscle" to help human officers combat heavily-armed criminals throughout an urban metropolitan area set in South Africa. Although the robots are impressive, they fall short of true sentience. The engineer at the military contractor which developed the police robots sets out to create a robot with true full artificial intelligence in which it can think for itself. Done as a skunkworks project, he carries it out alone. However, his creation ends up being stolen by a small gang of criminals who want to use it to steal money. The story unfolds from there with the focus on the robot, Chappie, and its interactions with the humans around it. It is able to learn quickly but it is in many ways the equivalent of a child. The film exploits this in several humorous ways, but it also asks some serious questions about how we as humans might "raise" and teach such a robotic child. The movie is not without flaws and has a few warts with some characters being underdeveloped, and perhaps not all of the situations or dialogue are entirely plausible. Some of the events that occur at the robot company are an example of this. However, it is easy to overlook these in the face of some truly brilliant imagery with the interaction between the robot and the humans. Blomkamp has a keen sense for SF storytelling and making it accessible to audiences with a palpable and visceral vision of what such a technological future might look and feel like. He presents the story and scenes in a straight-forward way to provoke a reaction and make you feel like you are there, whether or not you want to be. There are allusions to a fair number of films, including Robocop and Blade Runner. Some plot elements may feel a bit derivative, but on the whole I found the story to have a very original core told in Blomkamp's unique and trademark style. When the film shines, it is as brilliant as any to grace the movie screen. It is a story about the future and robots, but it is also one about humans, our creations, and our flaws as a creator.

No esta en castellano pero por nueve euros que que quieres? Sonido de lujo e imagen sobresaliente. Se nota la remasterizacion y los colores como movimientos son perfectos. No esta en castellano.... Pero por nueve euros que quieres?

Great product

Chappie è un buon film di fantascienza. Parla di tematiche moderne e piuttosto attuali tra cui l intelligenza artificiale. La qualità del bluray è ottima ma c è solo un cd 4k niente 1080p quindi il prezzo è abbastanza alto. Per il resto spedizione amazon tutto ok. Film consigliato.

Für jemanden der sich für Technik interessiert sind künstliche Intelligenzen eigentlich immer ein spannendes Thema. Daher ist es auch immer wieder interessant zu sehen, was Hollywood für Gedanken zu diesem Thema hat. Chappie ist für mich einer der besten Filme wenn es um ein positives Beispiel für künstliche Intelligenz geht und nicht etwas um KI's die versuchen die Menschheit zu unterjochen oder vor sich selbst zu schützen. Zu Beginn des Films ist alles noch recht fröhlich und Chappie ist recht verspielt - wie ein kleines Kind, dass er im Grunde ja auch ist. Genau wie ein Kind muss Chappie aber auch viel lernen und wird dabei maßgeblich von den Personen geprägt, die ihn umgeben. Wie bei der Erziehung von menschlichen Kindern werden hierbei sowohl gute, als auch die ein oder andere negative Eigenschaft vermittelt. Und genau wie bei den meisten Menschen entwickelt sich Chappie, trotz der ein oder anderen Macke, zu einer guten Persönlichkeit. Denn er lernt den Wert des Lebens - und zwar nicht nur das seines eigenen, sondern auch das von denen um ihn herum. Allerdings lernt Chappie auch die dunkle Seite des Lebens kennen - Angst, Hass, Gewalt & Verlust - da er als potenzielle Bedrohung für die Menschlichkeit empfunden wird. Und wie jedes Lebewesen auf diesem Planeten, kämpft auch Chappie um sein überleben. Ein besonderes Highlight ist für mich das Ende des Films (** Spoiler Warnung **), da es mich extrem zum denken angeregt hat. Wodurch definieren man sich selbst? Durch das äußere Erscheinungsbild? Durch die Zellen die meinen Körper bilden? Oder durch mein Bewusstsein, meine Entscheidungen und Emotionen? Was macht es da für einen Unterschied in welcher Hülle, die man Körper nennen mag, man sich gerade befindet, wenn es die Persönlichkeit ist die zählt. Das Ende des Films hat mich also vor die Frage gestellt: "Würde ich diese Entscheidung auch treffen?". Und meine Antwort wäre ganz klar "Ja". Denn ich finde es ist absolut kein Unterschied zwischen Chappie und seinem Vater zu erkennen. Bei beiden handelt es sich Lebewesen deren Leben genau so schätzenswert ist, wie das jeden anderen Lebewesens! Die Technik mag zwar noch nicht soweit sein, doch wird sie es wohl irgendwann sein, sollten wir uns in der Zwischenzeit nicht selbst ins Mittelalter zurückbefördert haben. Und wenn es mal soweit ist, könnte die Technik der nächste Schritt sein. Ich glaube ich muss nicht mehr erwähnen, dass ich den Film ganz klar empfehlen würde. Ich kann lediglich noch empfehlen sich dem Thema so öffnen und sich durch den Film evtl. zu einigen Fragen anregen zu lassen, über die man sich mal seine Gedanken machen kann. Ich wünsche eine gute Unterhaltung.

This is my second attempt at buying this 4k, again it is supplied damaged , honestly even the packaging looks second hand almost as if it has been resealed .
