You know there is something wrong with the world when people don't like CHAPPiE.

CHAPPiES' got a 30% or something on rotten tomatoes. What the heck! are you serious. It is the most awesome movie ever about AI and Consciousness . There is something rotten to the core with rotten tomatoes. (Automata with Antonio Banderas has a 30% now thats a real piece of SHITE)

But people in general in this day and age are just stupid , they go about their routines like an automaton robot while western civilization is threatened from all angles.

No magic firkin wormhole will just appear to save us you know like in Interstellar!

We will have to save ourselves by working together as a species to advance technology and save our planet.

But we cant do this if everyone has their head buried in the sand , or the bible, or the quran. (Because apart from the Sandpeople the extremist side of these nutters want the world to burn)

We have to evolve mentally as well you know , all that religious shite is just a manifestation of conscious intent you know , I mean come on world do some firkin research for yourselves!!

Double-slit experiment. Delayed choice quantum eraser. Jesus firkin Christ am I the only one that gets this?

Anyhoos CHAPPiE is firkin awesome!

This is a must see movie. It should be studied in universities about how Hollywood destroys movies.

I went into this with very low expectations due to all the negative reviews here on IMDb. But I wanted to check out the special effects and give the movie at least a chance, say 45 minutes.

It started out for me like a strange homage to star wars and i was really liking it in strange kind of star wars nerdy way alas about one hour and thirty minutes in it just turns to complete garbage.

Some might say it was garbage up to that point but I was prepared to cut it some slack because of my entering the viewing with low expectations.

Its got heaps of creativity and tries to introduce us to this whole new world and new characters but that's pretty hard to do in this day and age , you have to get it perfect if you want to create a new franchise and new mind share.

But like I said I was actually enjoying it in a nerdy cheesy way but at that 90 minute mark another seemingly completely different movie ending feels like it is just tacked on to the end and its a complete dog's breakfast.

The ending is a manipulated, twisted train wreck piece of pooh.

I am sure they could have put an avergae movie together but it ends up being a turd.

But its so funny I was laughing my ass off at the end seriously it was so crap.

But seriously, it is sort of OK sh1t then complete sh1t. I give it 3 steaming turds.

Watched this movie again for the umpteenth time. I want to say thank you to the creators of this film. I sit in wonder every time i watch. It truly is a beautiful creation. Thank you for Infinitely entertaining me.

All the actors are awesome. The music was powerful and had a theme throughout and it fit with it all brilliantly. It is oozing style and enthusiasm and feeling.

The plot is simplistic, silly, dumb and stupid but I just don't care, that is small compared to the rest of the elements that make up this living breathing kaiju of a movie. This movie has so much heart and soul flowing through it.

I love this type of science fiction movie, where our very existence is threatened and we must unite as a race against a common enemy, usually aliens to even survive.

And the films like this always do the hard bit so easy. We Unite just like that. But, don't you see? Then, and only then are we a race worthy of survival, that is the key message in Pacific Rim. That we will fail as a race of beings if we do not Unite.

The special effects and sound in the film are amazing, the 3D is brilliant.

There are really strong messages in Pacific Rim about the importance of father figures. Also about sacrifice. I think Guillermo really "gets it" you know what I mean?

Pacific Rim 8 out of 10

I am 36 years old and I grew up watching Transformers the cartoon and playing with the toys in the 80's. The franchise had achieved mind share. The plan worked.

The first and second live action movie didn't do much for me. The one I enjoyed the most and actually felt something for was Dark of the Moon.

Until Age of Extinction. I really enjoyed it.

Yes it completely objectifies women and is racist and sticks adverts and bright shiny things in your face but hey, thats life (What are YOU doing to stop this? writing a negative review of Transformers? good for you, that will fix the Human Race) , and this is an allegory to life created by a conglomerative passionate effort of differing perspectives, some corporate, some childish.

The racist and sexist elements especially of Age of Extinction could be an opportunity to communicate to children about right and wrong and the way women (and men to a much lesser extreme) are portrayed as objects in our world. Communication is what we seem to give up on these days.

Transformers is a franchise but it is also human history. It is some peoples (mainly boys) memories of childhood. And the movie is a live action perspective of this.

Transformers aided in the development of self.

When i think back now the cartoon instilled in me ideals of morality, honour, friendship, teamwork, valuing different forms of life, and the endless, timeless, continuous , ever repeating battle of good versus evil, positive and negative in the form of Autobots and Decepticons.

Messages abound in the film about spite and contempt for life and human brutality and dishonour, racism against man and machine or a perceived lesser form of life, sexism , objectification of women. Standardised beauty in the form of the beautiful men and women and cars, the "objects" created by minds that have been programmed by our societies models of beauty.

A lot of reviewers seem to have irrational hatred for Michael Bay and Transformers and their reviews are purposely negative and unbalanced, and to create balance they create irrational defence of the creative work by others. Can you not see this people ?!

The negative reviews are all filled with the same old criticisms that all the prior movies have gotten, they never really review the film, they run out of things to say fast and start to go through and pick apart the plot and just talk about the stupid or dumb elements. This movie was no "dumber" than Avatar. (Unobtainium anyone?)

But what I dislike the most is the looking down on people with contempt for enjoying the film. The passion in these negatives seems to be for mocking other peoples passion.

Or Transformers of all things represents everything they hate in the world. It would be funny if it wasn't true though, It is a waste of energy you negative multiplying reviewers, find some purpose!

We are additive and subtractive beings, positive and negative, but it is the absolutes that are pointless and insignificant but entirely significant and to the point. It is the nature of absolutes. Don't you get it.

Anyway back to the movie.

Good movie. Easier to follow action and plot. Beautifully awesome special effects. But the key is Optimus Prime, the best of the best, willing to protect lesser forms of life (the humans) and more to the point the human sensory representation of Optimus Prime - the voice of Peter Cullen - You are a Legend.
