#055 – Chappie and The Science of the Soul
On this episode of the Reel World Theology Podcast: Everyone is quick to remind you of Neill Blomkamp’s first film, District 9. I think they have been doing this because of the letdown of Elysium and the sheer disappointment in…
Review | Chappie
Neill Blomkamp certainly blew me away with his first directorial effort, 2009’s Sci-Fi smash District 9. Boasting some incredible CGI aliens, as well as a breakout performance by fellow South African Sharlto Copley, it hit all the right Sci-Fi notes and…
