In comparison to District 9, Chappie was pretty awful. I was VERY excited for it but left disappointed. It was so campy and...unrealistic? That sounds stupid to say in the same breath as praise for District 9 but I don't mean the settings, I mean the stories. The character writing and plot were just not great.
Unfortunately, Bloomkamp is one of those good directors that mistakenly think they are also good writers (See also: Zack Snyder, M. Knight Shyamalan).
Jesus you are so right about those last two.
yeah, a dude "figuring out" complete AI in a single night of hardcore coding was super weird
That was more a scene of his final night of work. It was still kinda weird, but they set it up so that it was supposed to show that he was working all night, every night on the project, and finally hit the right "code" to make it work.
