A Chap named CHAPPiE... (THERE BE SPOILERS BELOW CHAPS. SERIOUSLY. GO RIGHT TO THE END FOR MY THOUGHTS)

Right, so CHAPPiE. The latest offering from Neil Blomkamp who first exploded onto the scene with District 9 which was quite a piece of work from an unknown director and especially since it was also produced by Peter Jackson and had special effects done by WETA. Then he followed that up with ELYSIUM in 2013 which was interesting if a little run of the mill. Now we have another sci-fi offering from Mr Blomkamp and also a return to his country of birth Johannesburg, South Africa.
