Used to feel the same way, especially with the way it ends. But it really does work as a one off, self contained "thing". At this point I don't think a sequel could meet my expectations.

Hard disagree. We need to stop looking at good one-off movies and thinking "I'd love a sequel to that." What you really want is the director and production crew to stay together and see if they can bottle lightning twice in a row with a new idea/IP. The problem with the movie industry is that most people can't keep track of directors, so they tend to go to sequels, and they make a boatload of money with almost no innovation over the first.

Is it cool if we call it Chappie? /s

Soooo...
What's that movie?

I was completely on the hype train for this film. I loved Alive in Joburg and thought this was going to be a cool expansion on the premise with more time and a bigger budget.

And it kind of was at first. But the longer it ran, the more it turned into another white savior action movie.

I saw it in theaters opening night with an old girlfriend, and we both came out at the end shrugging at each other and going, "That was okay... ish. I guess."

South African sci is really fucking good. There needs to be more money given to Neil bompkomf and that whole scene.
