Neil Blomkamp's new film CHAPPiE, which hits US theaters this weekend, follows the unlikely transformation of a defective robot into a one-of-a-kind conscious machine.

The brilliant designer of these bots, Deon Wilson (played by Dev Patel), isn't quite satisfied with soulless automatons--so he secretly works after-hours to instill his creations with consciousness.
