PanARMENIAN.Net - Neill Blomkamp's "Chappie" follows an experimental humanoid who's abducted by criminals en route to an Artificial Intelligence day of reckoning. The sci-fi movie's first trailer focuses on how the robot is created, what he can do with his intelligence and the threats that he faces, AceShowbiz said.

"A machine that can think, and feel," Dev Patel who portrays a scientist describes his creation. "Anything you want to do with your life, you can do. Write poetry, have original ideas." Chappie learns to discover things including how to draw a sword like He-Man and walk like a gangster.

With the new technology comes the opposition. Hugh Jackman portrays a man named Vincent who sees that AI is too dangerous. "The problem with artificial intelligence is that it's too unpredictable," he says. Chappie endures not only bullying but also attempts to destroy him by fire and bullets.

Sharlto Copley portrays Chappie using a motion-capture performance. The pic will be released in U.S. theaters March 6, 2015.
