Have you ever thought about what might happen if those mechanical fighting robots built by nerdy science-gamers for Robot Wars grew up and took over the world? This might be the answer. Neill Blomkamp’s new film Chappie follows a robot of the same name, created by Deon (Dev Patel), who’s kidnapped and grown into one of the many fighting machines charged with maintaining order in a futuristic Johannesburg. Except, of course, there are evil forces at play – including the envious Vincent (Hugh Jackman). Will the gifted Chappie be able to avoid turning away from his roots? And can the city survive if he doesn’t?
Chappie opens in cinemas this Thursday March 12, and we want you to see it on the biggest of big screens at IMAX. We’ve got two double passes to give away – to be in the running, visit the comments below and tell us what special powers you’d give your robot for good or evil.
