TRansfering counsciousness should be an extremely difficult, if not imposible, task.
BUT HE COULDN´T FIGURE OUT HOW TO CHANGE HIS BATTERIES!!. I mean, just make a direct connection to an external source meanwhile you figure out how to change your batteries.
Search the outputs of the battery!!,I assume it is not easy, but it is not as hard as transfering your whole consciousness.

Well to be fair since chappie is not any different aside from his programming it would be easy for him to transfer himself. The suspension of disbelief is being able to use the same processes on a human.

You understand that this movie is science FICTION though right?

In this era of internet critics everyone has become far too cynical. Just sit back and enjoy the movie for what it is.

Right. . . like providing fusion power to a time traveling Delorean, or a Kryptonian baby gaining god like powers from the light of our Sun. . . perfect for science fiction then, as "difficult, if not imposible" has been a genre staple since the beginning.

If it makes you feel any better, the reality of it is still "difficult, if not imposible". Real money is financing real research as we speak. At this time it is considered plausible my some top minds, including Stephen Hawking and Michio Kaku.

BUT HE COULDN´T FIGURE OUT HOW TO CHANGE HIS BATTERIES!!.

No. He figured out his battery was unchangeable. There was uncertainty as to whether he would die if he lost power.

I mean, just make a direct connection to an external source meanwhile you figure out how to change your batteries.

Perhaps he would have with only Deon's guidance. Ninja turned Chappie away from his creator, and promised him a new body after the heist.

Search the outputs of the battery!!,

I think it's safe to say you missed the point a bit.

I assume it is not easy, but it is not as hard as transfering your whole consciousness.

So. . . the most stupid thing in this movie is that the dying naïve robot didn't just change his battery, although he was promised a new body. In solving that process he discovers sentient beings share a universal "conscious energy" (soul euphemism), proving he is in fact alive, and paving the way for man to machine transcendence. I disagree with your argument entirely.

You appear to have missed the part where they explained the cell was fused in place... ie could not be removed.

Chances are the poles are equally inaccessible, so he cannot connect to an external source either.

The battery was fused to his chest plate, he was hit by a rocket launcher at near point blank range, that battery was toast. Plus he found a way to link minds to a computer. It was an obvious path. He was told about a new body. It made sense, he did the right thing with the tech that was available. Besides we have no idea how the battery was made, even his maker had no alternative for the battery.

I want that laptop. Mine takes hours to download a game. That laptop transfers consciousness in seconds.
