No. Chappie is not Neill Blomkamp’s remake of Short Circuit but it definitely looks like Neill Blomkamp‘s remake of Short Circuit. Here we have Dev Patel taking over the role that made Fisher Stevens famous, Die Antwoord appearing in both the Ally Sheedy role and the head of the Los Locos Gang from Short Circuit 2. The theme itself, a self-aware robot strives to be considered human in an non-accepting society, is a lift from Short Circuit. The violence is a little amped up though.
