Latest Chappie trailer shows how hard life can be for a sentient robot

The first trailer for Chappie introduced us to the surprisingly adorable lead character, but the latest shows how rough life can be for a thinking, learning robot. The film — the latest from District 9 and Elysium director Neill Blomkamp — centers on a humanoid robot who gains sentience. And the new trailer shows the dark side of that development, as military forces attempt to put an end to the idea of an intelligent and aware machine, fearing what it might lead to. Based on these early trailers, Chappie looks like it will be a delightful blend of adorable and dark, but we’ll find out for sure soon enough — the movie is slated to premiere on March 6th.
