What happens when robots become our police? Probably nothing good. But what happens when one of those robots is taken and changed to think for himself? Well, that’s “Chappie.” A world of thinking, feeling robots is real in this movie by Neill Blomkamp, the director of “District 9.”
“Chappie” is set in South Africa. It is about a new kind of robot that is made like a human. In the movie, “Chappie” must fight back against people trying to terminate him. Some fans may not typically like robot movies, but “Chappie” isn’t a normal robot.
Sara’s a big fan of movies with robots. But can she get Kellie to see it with her? Find out more in this English lesson about a new film.

Sara_R: Kellie, have you seen the trailer for “Chappie?” I just saw it and it wowed me.
Kellie: Oh, really? Yeah, I did see it actually. I don’t know that director though, do you?
Sara_R: I do. He’s the same director who made “District 9.” His work is unparalleled.
Kellie: I’m not really into movies about robots, but it seemed kind of interesting where the robot can think for himself. Is that correct?
Sara_R: Yes, they make this robot who can think for himself, and then he’s in danger because some of the other people don’t want him to exist. Does this sound interesting to you? Do you want to go see this?
Kellie: Yeah, I mean I might want to see it. I’m always up for going to see a movie.
Sara_R: Come and see it with me, and if you don’t like it, I’ll buy pizza.
Kellie: OK, sounds good.
