You'll have to wait, I don't have Sky TV so I'll be hoping it'll be shown on Netflix in the not too distant future.What a sad man. Tell you what. You watch it all then give me the complete review in five minutes or less.![]()
Chappie....Short circuit meets RoboCop.
Beautifully filmed with superb CGI but I'm not sure a confused childlike gangsta robot with an Indian/South African accent worked
Granted it is a tough thing to do, and the film overall was superb but Chappie's actual persona just didn't work for me.I loved Chappie. Giving a robot humanity is a tough thing to do and I reckon they nailed it. I thought it was very clever and raised a lot of interesting points about exploitation and the world in general.
Jack Reacher. It's been said many times that Tom Cruise as the 6'5" ex military policeman doesn't quite cut it, and they're right.

I thought he was ok, he's not the most talented of actors but you don't need to be for that type of role, enjoyable nonsense. I don't think it's ever fair to compare films with the books, two totally separate things, if you're that precious about a book probably best never to see the film.

Normally I'd agree. But in the books an integral part of them is jack reachers size.![]()
Well I've never read a Jack Reacher book and I don't think I ever will, so TC only being 4'7" in real life makes no difference to me!

Granted it is a tough thing to do, and the film overall was superb but Chappie's actual persona just didn't work for me.
Having said that I had watched Ex Machina the night before, which also deals with the subject of AI albeit on somewhat higher level - another superb film and very thought provoking.
