This movie has the feel of Section Nine, but instead of aliens we
have robots. Also consider Terminator. But instead of an all seeing malevolent AI, we are treated to a child-like Chappie who wants nothing more than to simply fit in.
Check out wikipedia's impression of Chappie here Wikipedia-chappie
Chappie was a devilishly difficult film to get into, but once you have a handle on the motivation you start building affinity for the main characters, though Weaver and Jackman seem to be on remote control, little more than caricatures. You are left contemplating the movie's namesake and it's small cadre of people whom he calls family. By this time the film has picked back up, but you are emotionally vested.
I would give this film an 8 or maybe 7.5 because it takes so long to get into the movie.
