Chappie (2015)
Neil Blomkamp's worst film by far
Neil Blomkamp is one of my favourite directors, he has never made a film I have not absolutely loved, until I watched Chappie. I hate the idea of sentient AI, I hate the theory in real life and the theme in fiction, this is from someone who codes for a living, I can tell you this can never happen no matter how hard you try. But that isn't the main reason I didn't like this film at all. It's the ending, not only did Chappie somehow use a helmet to detect neural brainwaves, even though he has no organic brain, but his Creator used it to literally transfer his consciousness into a robot's body. There is no explanation in the film of how this works, and in real life it you would have more or a chance of transferring your contentiousness to a machine by banging your head against it.
I ending hits especially hard if you consider Neil Blomkamp's other works. In all of Blomkamp's films he keeps the "Fi" in "Sci-Fi" to a minimum, he used things that could be possible, or improved versions of existing things, and if something does not exist, he finds a way of making it damn cool and unique. The start of this film does just that, it looks believable and extremely cool at the same time. But half an hour into the film this dies, the film becomes extremely boring and less and less believable. I find none of the characters believable or likable except Huge Jackman's character, of whom I felt myself rooting for by the end.
This is by far Blomkamp's worst film, on a technical level and compared to his other films, this film is garbage. It was boring, stupid, unbelievable and was filled with countless obvious plot hols. If you are a fan of Blomkamp's or with grounded Sci-Fi in general, do yourself a favour and give this film a miss, it will do nothing for you. If you are into action, then the first 20 minutes or so is interesting, but the other hour and 40 minutes are a complete drag.

Wrong
This "show" is just awful, it has completely ran out of ideas. The worst part about the "show" is basically the only part, the lists are just wrong, they pretend that they are some kind of hardcore movie and video game critics and they pretend to rate there lists on some kind of "scientific" basis as if they rate all of the things on the list on certain criteria, but they don't, there lists are just simply wrong, the rankings are barely an opinion because any remotely intelligent persons opinion would be better that theirs, if you are looking to see a "professional" comparison on a stupid category then look elsewhere. 1/10 (I gave it a 1 only because it wouldn't let me give it a 0).
