Chappie (Trailer Analysis and Commentary) by Basicc

Join Basicc in this Trailer Analysis as he discovers Chappie, the thinking, feeling robot that reminisces Will Smith’s iRobot from over a decade earlier. “The film’s trailer shows a robot speaking and learning some new things which of course upsets the natural order of society, which is also the standard take with most robot movies that have come before it. From the perspective of the trailer, Chappie offers nothing new for a robot movie and sort of laughs at humans who it frames as nothing more than spectators to robotics, and less interesting afterthoughts at best.” Basicc. The film is directed by Neill Blomkamp and stars Hugh Jackman as Vincent Moore, Sharlto Copley as the motion capture performer of Chappie, and good old Sigourney Weaver, who is not featured in this one of many Chappie trailers. Basicc tries to entertain us and lift us from the hypnosis of yet another cliche robot movie with his textual and verbal commentary throughout the Chappie trailer. Chappie created and edited by Basicc, commentary by Basicc, produced by BetterStream.
