District 9 was pure brilliance, but Neill Blomkamp's other sci-fi blockbuster, Elysium, left a lot to be desired. And so, I think it's understandable that we don't have complete faith in Chappie to deliver.
A strong cast and an intriguing premise, along with Blomkamp's unique vision mean that we're probably in for a treat, but then again, that's what we all thought about Elysium.
