If Chappie hit the spot, these will too

A dystopian future played with the same scrappy, gritty pulp energy
The difference: A frozen cop thawed out, played mostly for satirical laughs

Robots edging toward consciousness while a cop distrusts them
The difference: A murder-mystery structure, not a child robot finding its family

Blomkamp's same grimy future-inequality lens turned on a bigger canvas
The difference: Class warfare in orbit, not one AI learning to be a person

Common ground: dystopia
The difference: Critics rated this one higher still

Both are built on the same subject: dystopia
The difference: Trades the grit of Chappie for an angle of its own

Blomkamp's own Johannesburg grime turned toward outsider empathy
The difference: Alien refugees stand in for the robot underclass here

Machines gaining awareness while humanity's future hangs in the balance
The difference: Time-travel war epic, not one robot's coming-of-age story

A bleak, robot-filled future questioning what's left of being human
The difference: A detective thriller about hiding behind machines, not becoming one

A machine built by corporate interests, fighting for its own identity
The difference: A dead cop rebuilt for justice, not a robot raised like a child

A cloned mind wrestling with what makes it human amid future war
The difference: Grim battlefield cloning drama, no scrappy street-robot innocence

A bleak corporate-controlled future rendered in the same slick style
The difference: Memory-implant espionage, nothing about a robot finding a soul

Kinetic and cerebral in the same breath
